Katie Price reveals fiance Carl Woods was due to get lipo – but refused after seeing her bloody post-surgery body
KATIE Price revealed fiance Carl Woods was due to get liposuction but backed out after seeing her bloodied post-surgery body.
The 43-year-old appeared on Australian breakfast show Studio 10 overnight and spoke about the major surgery she had in Turkey last month.
She had full body liposuction, eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, and fat injected into her bum – while gym fan Carl had planned to have some of the fat sucked out of his body.
But recounting his U-turn, Katie said: “He was going to have lipo, not that he needs it, but then he was all ready to go down – had the cannula in – and as soon as he saw me come out the lift he went ‘no way am I doing this’, because he got to see what it’s really like.”
Katie, who had the whole procedure filmed, woke to be told she would need a blood transfusion — but refused fearing she might contract Covid.
The mum of five admitted thinking: “What the f*** have I done?”
I was terrified of looking like a freak

And Carl — watching in the operating room — feared she was dead.
Katie told The Sun: “Honestly, I’ve gone to hell and back, it was horrific — ‘Oh my God I look like a monster out of a horror movie’.
“I just thought, ‘This is it, I’m going to die. I was terrified of looking like a freak, like that Bride of Wildenstein or a fake doll.
“I’ve woken up with holes and stitches all over my body. I look like I’ve got cat’s whiskers coming out of my nose and eyes. But I just want the old Katie back!”
She brands herself a “surgery veteran” after three facelifts, and liposuction as many times.
She’s lost count of her boob jobs — thinking it’s around 12, and says Botox no longer works for her as she has had it so much since 30.
Katie looked naturally pretty during her modelling career and she said: “I never touched my face until I turned 30, so now I’m 43, I’ll do what the hell I like!”
She put on two stone in lockdown. And she blames her weight gain and confidence issues on her breaking both feet falling off a wall on holiday in Turkey last year.
With her wedding to Carl, 31, due this year, Katie is determined to look her best.

She admitted: “Every day I’d look at myself and just think, ‘Jesus Christ, I let myself go’. I couldn’t run and all I was doing was eating.
“Everyone knows I didn’t look like I used to any more, I’ve never been this fat! I want people to know why I’ve done what I’ve done.
“It’s not because I’m unhappy, I’ve never been happier — I’m in a loving relationship. But I just want the old me back.”
