Reality TV star Katie Price has sparked renewed concern over her appearance this week. It came after she shared a photo of herself beside two relatives, taken whilst enjoying some time with her family, in a post on social media.

The photo showed Katie, 47, stood beside her nieces in an outdoor area. The former glamour model was seen wearing a white top, a grey jacket, black leggings and white trainers whilst posing with her arms around her loved ones.

It was one of several “family time” photos shared by Katie on Facebook yesterday and she wrote in the caption of that post: “My beautiful nieces.” She was met with concern on the platform, which comes after Katie revealed her weight last month amid people being “obsessed” over it.

Amidst trolling and jokes about her appearance, several people expressed concern in the comments section. One person wrote: “Katie you look painfully thin.” Another said in their reaction: “Her legs don’t look real.” Someone wrote: “Wow, not much left of Katie. I don’t know if this is a healthy look.”

Others defended Katie against the commentary that her post had prompted on the platform this week. It included one fan criticising those who poked fun over her appearance, with them suggesting that the reaction was “hurtful”.

The fan wrote in the comments section: “It’s disappointing to see people making jokes about someone’s body, especially when they don’t know them personally.” They added: “It’s not only hurtful but also sets a bad example for children.”

Defending Katie, another person wrote: “Wow these comments are vile this [woman] obviously struggles with her appearance. In a world where you can be anything be kind. All the hates she gets and this [woman] is still smiling.”

It isn’t the first time that Katie has faced trolling and concern over her appearance. The former I’m A Celebrity star has previously spoken about having lost weight in recent years and addressed the concern she has been subjected to.

As reported earlier this year, Katie shared that she had “wanted” to lose weight. She’s suggested that it came after she gained weight whilst recovering from a broken foot a few years ago and then subsequently through IVF treatment.

On her podcast, the Katie Price Show, in January, she said: “Everyone’s said I’ve got skinny and that.” Her sister Sophie Price said: “You’ve got well thin.” Katie said: “I know. But there’s a reason. If anyone Google’s me, I’ve always been skinny.”

Katie added: “But people have to remember, when I broke my feet, I was in a wheelchair, not active – before that I was running all the time. Then I’ve gone through IVF three times [and] that pumps you and puts weight on – I haven’t done anything.”

She continued in the discussion on her podcast at the time: “Now I’ve realised when I was eating pasta, oats, or milk or anything, it bloats me. […] So I’ve been avoiding stuff like that and not feeling so sluggish and tired after.”
