Katie Price admits her son Junior Andre keeps telling her she doesn’t need any more plastic surgery ahead of her latest operation, a £10,000 facelift in Turkey.
On Wednesday, Katie, 46, confirmed she had arrived in the Turkish capital Istanbul for face-lift surgery, or wrinkleectomy, at the city’s Trio Clinic.
She also shared a photo of herself prepping for surgery with the caption: ‘@trioclinicinstanbul surgical tights in progress!’
The operation takes two and a half to four and a half hours on average and takes two to four weeks to recover. Katie is joined on her ‘work trip’ by her partner JJ Slater and her eldest child, son Harvey Price, 22.
Before the facelift, she was asked by Heat if her five children were concerned about her surgical habits and replied, “No, she’s fine.

“I just think they’re used to me doing it. It is the norm for them. I don’t even tell anyone now, not even my mom, because she just nags me.
“The kids are just like, ‘Oh, it’s just you, isn’t it, Mom?’ Junior always says, “Mom, you’re beautiful, you don’t need anything. You’re amazing anyway.” But they know it’s just me.”
Katie has five children: Harvey, 22, whose father is retired footballer Dwight Yorke, Junior, 19, and Princess Andre, 17, both of whom she shares with first husband Peter Andre, and Jett, 10 , and Bunny Hayler, 9, from her third marriage to Kieran Hayler.
Katy’s trip to Turkey comes after she failed to attend her recent bankruptcy hearing.
The former glamor model was absent from a scheduled £760,000 bankruptcy hearing on Tuesday.
A warrant has since been issued because Katie was given “very clear warnings” that she had to attend court and said she is “doing everything she can” to fix her financial issues.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the mother-of-five dismissed recent claims that she traveled to Turkey after being rejected by other plastic surgeons.
He said: “I’m filming my new documentary. The reason I chose Trio Clinic is because I had friends who had surgery there and in my opinion they are the best for what I want to do. I can’t wait, they’re amazing, and they’re thorough here.’

Taking to Instagram again on Tuesday, Katie shared a statement about her current issues.
She wrote: “While I am currently aware of the seriousness of my current personal financial situation with my ongoing bankruptcy, I am shocked today that while working on a documentary about corrective surgery that I will have to be in the news again.
“The media in my opinion is once again trying to inflict constant humiliation on myself and my family. There are much bigger and more pressing issues going on around the world that are more important and I’m sure most people are tired of reading stories that are constantly being misrepresented.
“I continue to work with the relevant people on matters to the best of my ability, which will be addressed after I return from work.
“Despite the constant stories that try to humiliate me about my personal misfortunes, I am not ashamed or embarrassed. I own my situation and try my best to cope and put things right.”
Katie added that she is currently going through a “difficult time” and is doing “the best I can” for her family.
He wrote: “I have to continue my work to satisfy these bankruptcy orders, which is all I’m trying to do at the moment. However, I do not shy away from issues and will continue to take things very seriously.
“I’m doing my best to make things right in extremely difficult times. Once again I would like to point out that there are much bigger and newsworthy stories.
“I will continue to work on my mental health disorders for the sake of myself and my family and do the best I can.”

In May, Katie claimed on her own podcast that she was disqualified from appearing in court over her mental health after receiving backlash for missing her latest bankruptcy hearing to go on holiday to Cyprus.
She was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court in May, but at the start of the hearing, lawyers said she told them at the last minute she could not attend due to health problems. A judge described this justification as “flimsy”.
Katie then jetted off on holiday to Ayia Napa with her MAFS co-star JJ Slater, facing backlash from the public after they were spotted sunbathing together by the pool.
Taking to her podcast, The Katie Price Show, which she co-hosts with her sister Sophie Price, Katie claimed she had been thrown out of court because she was “mentally incompetent”.
