Katie Price wiggles her bum in lace thong as she gets MORE fillers weeks after BBL injections The TV personality underwent a Brazilian Bum Lift and lip filler top-up during a single visit to The Clinic Club on London's Harley Street. Back in May, Katie opened up about her heartbreaking obsession with going under the knife. In a candid confession, the Page 3 legend revealed the real pain fuelling her relentless pursuit of perfection, admitting her countless surgeries are about far more than just looks. The reality star is known for undergoing numerous cosmetic surgeries, including breast surgeries (implants and reductions), facelifts, and other procedures like a "fox eyes" procedure. In 2019, Katie had a full body transformation in Turkey, including a facelift, eye and eyelid lift, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and a tummy tuck. She hasn't use the word 'addiction' herself, but confessed she's aware of how many surgeries she's had and the toll it's taken on her body. Fans have recently become worried about the former glamour model's shrinking frame in her social media posts. Some fans have asked Katie whether she has taken popular weight loss jabs to shed the pounds - which she has strongly denied. 4 The star has joked that her pregnant cat Doris is a ringer for her Credit: Instagram/Backgrid

Katie Price says 'her boobs look like mine' as she shares odd snap of hairless Sphynx cat
Katie Price took to social media to share a screenshot of her family chat after she posted an image of one of her pet cats - and the former glamour model was left in hysterics They say pets look like their owners and it's certainly the case in Katie Price 's household. The reality TV star had a laugh with her family on Thursday, comparing her own chest to that of her hairless Sphynx cat in a hilarious Instagram post. The 47-year-old former glamour model, known for her numerous breast augmentations, shared a screenshot from her family group chat where she had posted a picture of one of her cats, Doris, who is pregnant. Katie, who has been branded a 'serial animal killer' by PETA after 'track record of deaths', captioned the image: "Her boobs. Her boobs look like mine," followed by several laughing face emojis. Her 18-year-old daughter Princess Andre was quick to respond to the humorous post, commenting 'I'm dead' along with crying face emojis. Meanwhile, her brother-in-law Harry responded with a voice note of him simply laughing. In the caption of her Instagram post, Katie wrote: "Our family group chat is going off do look like their owners..." In a previous Instagram Story, the mum-of-five shared a snap of her cat and quipped: "Looks like Doris has taken a leaf out of my books and gone to Turkey to get a boob job." Over the weekend, Katie announced on Instagram that her Sphynx cat Doris was pregnant. Katie was previously labelled a 'serial animal killer' by PETA following the deaths of at least eight of her pets. The two-time I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star faced fresh criticism earlier this month for letting one of her £2,000 Sphynx cats suffer sunburn during the recent heatwave, with PETA declaring "here we go again". In footage she shared, the reality star displayed her Sphynx cat sporting a crimson head and back. Petting the feline, she remarked: "Oh Kevin, you have been in the sun today, you have got sunburnt despite us putting sun cream on you... Look at his little face." The accompanying caption read: "Trying to keep the cats out of the sun is hard work." PETA's Elisa Allen claimed the Mucky Mansion personality had consistently disregarded guidance on animal welfare. She commented: "Anyone who warns Katie not to hurt the animals she takes in might as well be screaming into the wind, for all she seems to care. And here we go again: her cat is sunburnt – something she was likely warned about when acquiring a gimmick cat, bred to look odd and be hairless." The charity states that felines with "light or no fur can burn easily, which is just one reason to keep them indoors." It continues: "If they do go into a secure garden, apply vet-approved sunscreen and ensure they have plenty of shade. Cat guardians must stay alert, if you spot redness, swelling, or signs of infection, seek veterinary care immediately." The animal welfare organisation expressed concern after she flaunted her latest addition, a Sphynx cat named Daisy, in November, suggesting there ought to be legal measures to prevent her from acquiring more pets. PETA's founder Ingrid Newkirk remarked: "If there was a way to file an injunction to stop this serial animal killer, PETA would do so, as this woman doesn't care about the lives she wastes or listen to vital advice and is still treating live animals like stuffed toys: as disposable." Newkirk also commented on the grim prospects for the new kitten, saying: "If William Hill took totally tasteless bets, the odds would favour those betting on how little time this kitten has on Earth, given the hideous track record of animal deaths in Price's custody. No one could call it 'care'." Katie has faced multiple pet tragedies, with four dogs – Blade, Queenie, Sharon, and Sparkle – having been killed by cars near her Mucky Mansion, and a horse meeting a similar fate in 2017. In a tragic incident in 2020, her dog Rolo suffocated after becoming trapped in an electric armchair; Katie admitted to giving him cannabis oil, unaware that it was illegal without veterinary consent. Additionally, Katie disclosed the loss of a chameleon and the necessity to euthanise a designer cat named Frog. In her memoir, she revealed the heart-wrenching moment: "He had a neurological disease. Within days it had spread through his body. So I cuddled him in my arms and he had to be put to sleep."

7 myths about human-animal allergies explained and busted
Pets are great. You can play and cuddle and go for walks with also help against loneliness. But not everyone shares this enthusiasm. Some people are literally allergic to cats, dogs and the like, as these four-legged friends can trigger severe physical reactions. However, there are also many misconceptions about animal allergies. Here are seven myths that need dispelling. Myth 1: The animal's hair is the problem. Many people talk about an "animal hair allergy" a first misunderstanding. "I think the term 'animal allergy' is better," says Anja Schwalfenberg from the German Allergy and Asthma Association. This is because the animal hair itself is not the trigger for the overreaction of the immune system. Rather, it is the case that patients react to certain protein building blocks, ie. allergens. These are mainly found in the animal's dander, but also in its saliva, urine and hair. For example, when a cat does its daily grooming, it spreads saliva on its fur. The allergens it contains then also enter the room air. Myth 2: An animal allergy is harmless. No. There are many gradations, "from banal itching in the eyes and nose to death," says Thomas Fuchs an allergy specialist and professor of medicine at Germany's University Medical Centre Göttingen. Typical symptoms include itchy and/or watery eyes, itching and skin reactions, sneezing and a runny nose. "In extreme cases, you can no longer breathe," he says. Something good to know is that an allergic reaction does not always start immediately. "It can happen that you're just standing on someone's doorstep and you immediately start coughing – without realising that there's a cat in the house," says the allergist. Animal allergies mainly affect patients who are otherwise prone to allergic diseases – such as hay fever, asthma or neurodermatitis. In order to be able to treat allergy symptoms effectively, the first step is a diagnosis. Myth 3: The shorter the pet's hair, the better for allergy sufferers. You can't generalise like that. "There seem to be very individual differences in allergen concentrations," says Anja Schwalfenberg. It is not the length of the hair per se that is responsible for triggering allergic reactions. In studies in which the allergen content of dog hair from different breeds was analysed, there were large variations even within the same breed. Allergy sufferers should keep their distance from male dogs in particular, as researchers have discovered that male dogs produce more allergens than females. Myth 4: Hypoallergenic dog breeds such as Labradoodles or Spanish Water Dogs do not cause problems. A study that tested the allergen concentration in the homes of 190 families with dogs concluded that even in homes with breeds that are labelled hypoallergenic, no lower levels of allergens were detected. The examination of fur samples also revealed that the range within the dog breed itself was very high, but the differences between the breeds were small. Also, hairless Sphynx cats or Chinese crested dogs would not really help patients either. "If someone thinks they have to switch to naked animals because of an allergy, that's nonsense," says Fuchs. Because it's not the hair that makes allergy sufferers sniffle and cry. Myth 5: If I don't have my own pet, nothing can happen to me. Wishful thinking, says Fuchs. "If you think you are on holiday by the sea or in the mountains and are then immune to allergic reactions, you could be mistaken. "Particles from animals on the owner's clothing are sometimes enough to cause allergic reactions. This can happen easily, for example while in a lift or riding a gondola on a ski holiday. "Or you might be sitting next to a cat owner in the theatre - and suddenly you start clearing your throat or coughing without knowing the cause," says the dermatologist. It's not just dogs and cats: Some people get allergic reactions to horses and even birds. Myth 6: You have to accept an animal allergy. No, there are ways to live better with an animal allergy. Anti-allergy medication, eye drops and nasal sprays can help to alleviate the symptoms. For more severe symptoms, inhalers with anti-inflammatory agents for asthmatics can also help."The prerequisite for treatment is first of all to have a good diagnosis made," says Fuchs. The first port of call for this is a doctor's surgery or clinic specialising in allergology. Skin tests or special blood tests can determine whether you are "only" slightly sensitive or severely allergic. Although the medication is generally well tolerated, says Fuchs, it can also cause side effects in the long example, long-term treatment with cortisone can lead to osteoporosis, or bone loss. Myth 7: If I give up my pet, the problem will be solved. Pet owners need to be very strong now. If you have an animal allergy, experts recommend giving up your pet. "As much as people don't like to say it, and as much as patients don't like to hear it," says Fuchs. The bad news is that ex-pet owners must expect itching, watery eyes and sniffles to persist for a long time, even after their beloved pet is long gone. "Cat allergens in particular are highly airborne and remain in the air a long time," says biologist Schwalfenberg. In studies, they have even been found in homes years later. – dpa

'I visited UK's worst seaside town but was floored by what I found on arrival'
Despite being named one of the 'worst' seaside towns in the country, I had a lot of fun visiting Great Yarmouth in Norfolk - and here's why you should visit it Despite being rated as the UK's 'worst' seaside town, my family's staycation to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk turned out to be a really fun trip. Going on holidays doesn't always mean having to hop on a plane and travel hundreds of miles away. Wanting to save some money, my parents and I decided to try something different: staying in a caravan with two of my good friends who joined us. In a 2023 survey by Which?, Great Yarmouth was among the 10 worst beachside spots in the country. Some of the complaints were disappointing B&Bs (bed and breakfasts), run-down arcades and 'aggressive' seagulls. However, my experience was completely the opposite - and I liked it. We didn't do much research, and I had never even heard about Great Yarmouth, but Norfolk came up in our search, so we thought, why not? Two nights for five people cost us around £150, and we had a whole balcony with each person having their own room. We arrived after a two-hour drive from London to find clear skies and a friendly atmosphere. We stayed at a caravan park, where we saw both locals and visitors, and some decent outdoor activities - including a lively pub. Sure, you had to drive around to get to places, and the phone service was awful, but still it was the perfect excuse to have a phone detox and enjoy the moment. The next day we drove around the town, and found some restaurants, sweet shops, and ice cream parlours. Thinking it's a quiet town, there's actually a lot to do. Great Yarmouth hosts a SEA LIFE Aquarium, lots of arcades, museums, National Trust properties and even a Britannia Pier. Due to its relatively small size, we were able to see everything in one day. We walked across the beach and stomped with the 'aggressive' seagulls - but they weren't that scary. My friends and I also visited a cat café where I saw a Sphynx cat for the first time. Later on that day, we ate some delicious and affordable English breakfast by the sea. With our stomachs filled and a colourful slushy cup, we came across a tattoo shop. To add some spontaneity, my friend and I got a tattoo done for £20 each, which I found shocking. In my opinion, Great Yarmouth defied its reputation. From beachside breakfast to arcades and affordable tattoos, it had more to offer than I expected. Two days were more than enough, and I left with good memories and a small tattoo as a souvenir. It's the ideal place for families with small children, and for those looking to spend some time at the beach without flying across the world. So, if you're looking for a budget-friendly escape from the city, Great Yarmouth might be your new summer spot.

Katie Price branded a 'serial animal killer' over multiple animal deaths
Former glamour model Katie Price was previously branded a 'serial animal killer' by animal charity PETA over her multiple animal deaths Katie Price was once branded a 'serial animal killer' by PETA over the deaths of at least eight of her animals. The 47-year-old former glamour model was most recently slammed for allowing one of her £2,000-a-pop Sphynx cats to get sunburnt during the last heatwave as PETA complained, "here we go again". In a video, she showed her Sphynx cat with a red head and back. Stroking the cat, she said: 'Oh Kevin, you have been in the sun today, you have got sunburnt despite us putting sun cream on you… Look at his little face.' The caption accompanying the video said: 'Trying to keep the cats out of the sun is hard work.' PETA's Elisa Allen said the Mucky Mansion star had repeatedly ignored advice on pet care. She said: 'Anyone who warns Katie not to hurt the animals she takes in might as well be screaming into the wind, for all she seems to care. And here we go again: her cat is sunburnt – something she was likely warned about when acquiring a gimmick cat, bred to look odd and be hairless.'

It adds: 'If they do go into a secure garden, apply vet-approved sunscreen and ensure they have plenty of shade. Cat guardians must stay alert, if you spot redness, swelling, or signs of infection, seek veterinary care immediately.' But it's not the first time the animal charity hit out at the TV personality, with them branding her a 'serial animal killer' in a previous statement over her 'track record of animal deaths'. After she introduced her new pet, a Sphynx named Daisy, in November last year, PETA said there should be an injunction stopping the star from owning pets. Founder Ingrid Newkirk said: "If there was a way to file an injunction to stop this serial animal killer, PETA would do so, as this woman doesn't care about the lives she wastes or listen to vital advice and is still treating live animals like stuffed toys: as disposable. "If William Hill took totally tasteless bets, the odds would favour those betting on how little time this kitten has on Earth, given the hideous track record of animal deaths in Price's custody. No one could call it 'care'." Four dogs – Blade, Queenie, Sharon and Sparkle – were killed by cars near her Mucky Mansion home. And one of Katie's horses was hit by a car and killed in 2017 after escaping from a field. In 2020, dog Rolo suffocated in her home after getting stuck in an electric armchair. Katie admitted giving him cannabis oil, but said she was unaware it was illegal to do so without a vet prescription. Katie also revealed the death of a chameleon and admitted she had to put down a designer cat named Frog. She said in her memoir: "He had a neurological disease.
