Katie Price has revealed her biggest downfall in a candid new interview.
The former glamour model, 46, currently has a warrant out for her arrest after she skipped a scheduled £760,000 bankruptcy court hearing on Tuesday, having flown abroad for her latest cosmetic procedure.
And speaking with Best magazine Suddenly Single In a podcast, Katie admitted that her relationships with men were ultimately her downfall.
She said: “My downfall in life, in everything, is men. If you took men out of the equation of my life, I wouldn’t have any dramas, no problems, no nothing.”
Katie, whose ex-husbands include Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler, is currently in a relationship with former Married At First Sight UK contestant JJ Slater, 31.

When asked what she looks for in a man, Katie replied, “(Someone) who is my best friend.”
But the reality star said this was not a role that could be played by a friend because she “likes cock”.
This comes after she said her “healthy” romance with JJ Slater is “alien” to her after spending years in “abusive” relationships.
The mother-of-five told MailOnline she became so used to being abused that she found it difficult to recognise when she was with a loving partner.
But her perspective changed after taking a course on domestic violence, where she learned to identify the warning signs and not be swayed by her previous experiences.
She says giving up alcohol and partying has given her a better foundation and that she prefers quiet nights in her new home after moving out of Mucky Mansion rather than drunken nights out on the town.
She exclusively said: “Things are really, really good with JJ. I took a course on domestic violence and I learned and I realised that I’ve never been in a healthy relationship. When you’re constantly in toxic relationships, you get used to it.
‘It was quite a long course, it consisted of workshops, watching videos and then I realised that all my relationships were some kind of domestic abuse. It’s very strange for me to be in a healthy relationship.
When asked what she looks for in a man, Katie stated, “(Someone) who is my best friend,” but this role cannot be filled by a friend due to her “love of cock.”
The reality star, whose ex-husbands include Peter Andre (pictured in 2006), Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler, claimed: “All my relationships were some form of domestic abuse”.
She said: “If you took men out of the equation in my life, I wouldn’t have any drama, any problems, anything” (pictured with ex-husband Alex Reid in 2009).
Katie has been with JJ, who is 15 years her junior, since February and the pair have spoken about having a baby together. The model told MailOnline: “I’m definitely going to be a mum again.”
‘I’ve been in situations since then where I wonder if that’s going to affect me, if that’s going to escalate, but JJ is completely different and it’s a healthy relationship, which is completely new.
‘My whole life has changed. Naturally, before I met JJ, I was in a good place to start a new relationship. There are many aspects of my life that have changed. I’m going to start my empire again now that I’ve hit the reset button.’
The podcast host is mum to Harvey, 22, whose father, former footballer Dwight Yorke, has not been in her life, as well as Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, from her four-year marriage to Peter between 2005 and 2009.
She also shares Jett, 10, and Bunny, nine, with Kieran before splitting after five years in 2018.
She was most recently engaged to former Love Island contestant Carl Woods, 35, before they ended their romance for good last year.
Katie is believed to be undergoing a facelift at the Trio Clinic in Istanbul, and will have work carried out on her eyes and under her chin while she is in Turkey.
On Instagram on Wednesday, the mother of five dismissed recent claims that she had travelled to Turkey after being turned away by other cosmetic surgeons.
She said: ‘I’m filming my new documentary. The reason I chose the Trio Clinic is because I have friends who have had surgery there and in my opinion they are the best for what I want to do.
“I can’t wait. They are amazing and very thorough here.”
On Tuesday, Katie shared a statement on her Instagram account saying she is “aware of the severity” of her financial situation.
She wrote: ‘While I am currently aware of the severity of my current personal financial situation with my ongoing bankruptcy, I am shocked today that while working on a documentary about corrective surgeries, I find myself in the news headlines again.
‘In my opinion, the media is once again trying to cause continued humiliation to me and my family. There are much more important and pressing issues around the world and I’m sure most people are bored of reading stories that are constantly distorted.

She wrote: ‘I have to get on with my job to comply with these bankruptcy orders, which is all I am trying to do at the moment. However, I am not running away from the matters and will continue to take them very seriously.
‘I am doing everything I can to make things right in extremely difficult times. Once again, I would like to stress that there are much more important stories worth publishing.
‘I will continue to work on my mental health issues for the sake of myself and my family and do the best I can.’
In May, Katie claimed on her own podcast that she had been banned from appearing in court due to her mental health, after coming under fire for skipping her latest bankruptcy hearing to go on holiday to Cyprus.
He was due to give evidence about his finances at the High Court in May, but at the start of the hearing, lawyers said he had told them at the last minute that he could not attend due to ill health. A judge described this excuse as “lame”.
Katie then went on holiday to Ayia Napa with her MAFS star boyfriend JJ Slater and faced a backlash from the public after they were spotted sunbathing together by the pool.
On her podcast, The Katie Price Show, Katie responded, claiming she was removed from the courtroom because she was “mentally not strong enough.”
On Tuesday, she shared a statement on her Instagram account saying she is “aware of the gravity” of her financial situation.
Katie has said she is “doing the best she can to rectify things” after a warrant was issued for her arrest.
A judge made the order after she failed to turn up for her £760,000 bankruptcy court hearing, apparently having flown abroad.
She said, ‘Everyone says, ‘Oh, he missed bankruptcy and went on vacation!’ No, let me address that.
‘The court knew I was not going to declare bankruptcy, because mentally – my consultant at The Priory – has given me the go-ahead for any kind of activity before the court.
‘I will continue to cooperate with relevant persons on the matters to the best of my ability, which will be addressed after my return from work.
‘Despite the stories that constantly try to humiliate me for my personal misfortunes, I don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed. I own my situation and I’m doing everything I can to resolve it and make things right.’
Katie added that she is currently going through “a tough time” and is doing “the best she can” for the sake of her family.
