The former glamour model, 47, flew out this week to have the work done, following a £10,000 facelift in August. Advertisement 3 Katie told fans she 'can't smile' after her latest surgery Credit: Backgrid 3 She jetted to Turkey this week to have the work done Credit: Backgrid 3 It comes after she and daughter Princess were caught up in rumours of a rift Credit: Getty In a new snap posted to social media, Katie was seen posing in a pair of huge sunglasses while her trademark plumped pout looked painfully tight. The mum-of-five captioned her post: 'I can't smile.' Katie previously shared a first-look at her face after the surgery, posing with bandages around her ears and tape by her eyes and nose. Her Married At Fight Sight UK star boyfriend JJ Slater was also supposed to be going under the knife but was forced to cancel his plans due to complications related to his diabetes. Advertisement Despite the nature of the trip, Katie's time in Turkey is no doubt a distraction from rumours of a rift between her and daughter Princess Andre. Katie, who shares Princess, 18, and son Junior, 20, with ex-husband Peter Andre, has claimed she was banned from seeing her daughter as she shot scenes for her reality show The Princess Diaries. Both of them were in Ibiza at the time and Katie told how, when she attempted to meet up with Princess in a bar, she was blocked by members of the crew. Ahead of the show's debut, Katie shared her frustrations at 'not being allowed to go near' the documentary, with Princess moving in with her dad, Peter Andre, while she shot it. Advertisement Show bosses reportedly told Katie she could not be a part of the series, with a source telling The Sun that Katie felt "isolated and disregarded". "She loves Princess so much and is supremely proud of the young woman she is becoming," they said. EXCL Katie Price seen in bandages for first time since having MORE surgery in Turkey "Princess told her mum that she needed to distance herself publicly and yet chats to her all the time behind closed doors. "She feels a bit like Brooklyn Beckham, with no one in the Andre family really speaking to her.' Advertisement Meanwhile The Sun revealed today how Katie has landed a bombshell documentary about her life in the spotlight. The three-part show, said to be the definitive history of one of Britain's best-known celebrities, has been snapped by Sky and is likely to air early next year

Brooklyn's ‘smugness' in wedding pics show he's got what he wants & David is no longer the alpha, says body language pro
Could David's alpha crown of the Beckham household be about to slip? VOW WOES Brooklyn's 'smugness' in wedding pics show he's got what he wants & David is no longer the alpha, says body language pro BROOKLYN Beckham's vow renewal has been splashed on social media with sweet messages like 'Only love' and 'Forever my girl,' declared under a curated mix of pictures. While the wedding snaps show an array of celebrities celebrating Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn special day - there were a few faces notably missing - his own family and most notably his parents David and Victoria. 6 The pair looked loved up as they renewed their vows three years on from their wedding Credit: Instagram 6 But Brooklyn's family were nowhere to be seen at the event Credit: Getty 6 Instead, pictures show A-list guests and Nicola's family in attendance Credit: brooklynpeltzbeckham/Instagram The second wedding, which took place on August 2 wasn't to mark a notable wedding anniversary - it was just three years after first saying their vows. None of the Beckhams were invited to the lavish ceremony on — presided over by Nicola's billionaire dad Nelson — and only read about it on an American website. But body language expert Judi James says the wedding pictures show the family feud is still on Brooklyn's mind even if they were nowhere to be seen. Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, she said: "In the ongoing custody battle between Victoria and Nicola, Brooklyn and Nicola's smiles here look like the chef's kiss. READ MORE ON BROOKLYN BECKHAM VOW WOES Brooklyn Beckham's vow renewal branded 'a gratuitous display of obscene wealth' "There now appears to be no chance of Brooklyn doing alternate weekends with his mum and his wife, these glaringly powerful poses seem crafted to suggest that he's got what he wants and he's staying put." CLINGING ON Judi notes that in various snaps of their lavish day, Brooklyn clings on to his wife and seems to be trying to prove he has the fairytale life away from his roots. 6 While Nicola poses perfectly, Brooklyn looks like he's clinging on Credit: Instagram/brooklynpeltzbeckham Judi says: "Nicola's smile is pitch-perfect and virtually static throughout here. She is shown looking poised, elegant and happily accepting of his love for her. "Brooklyn meanwhile poses as the besotted groom, placing a tentative and awkwardly-positioned-looking hand on her chest as though barely able to believe his luck as his eyes gaze at her with a look of purring admiration. "Her hands endorse his grasp, covering it with both hands to show off her massive diamond ring." And Judi points out his pose seems to be inherited by his mum, Victoria Beckham. She adds: "It's interesting that Brooklyn shows he has inherited his mother's key body language traits here: Emotional clinginess as he clasps his wife, gazingly lovingly at her face or reaches for a closed-lip kiss to display their love in front of friends and the cameras." Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz 'renew wedding vows' after 3 years of marriage FEELING SMUG As the pair enjoy the afterparty from the ceremony, Brooklyn and Nicola both posed with a cadre of A-list celebrities who were in attendance. 6 Brooklyn's smug look shows he got his fairytale ending Credit: Instagram/brooklynpeltzbeckham The body language pro says it's another way to signal their picture-perfect life is real. "He's depicting his view of the perfect marriage and immersion in the perfect set of his own A-list friends here," she continues. "The poses suggest he's proving a point as much as flaunting the love story, as though he's so desperate to show a happy ending that he's jumping the gun in terms of successful marriage by about five decades. "The 'We did it!' marriage celebrations are usually reserved for a golden wedding anniversary, not the three year mark. "This looks like the proof of a right decision before the confetti from the first wedding has even settled." Again, Brooklyn has inherited his mum's classic smile that doesn't bear teeth. But at closer inspection, the body language pro says his narrowed eyes show more than just happiness. "This possibly inherited smile trait comes with a narrowing of the eyes from Brooklyn here though, giving that impression of self-satisfaction or even smugness," Judi explains. SO MACHO While many of the snaps included the pair either canoodling or posing with their guests, Brooklyn threw in a few solo pictures of himself at the pool table which Judi notes are carefully curated to show off his 'macho' side. 6 His macho side came out to prove his place in the world, says Judi Credit: Instagram/brooklynpeltzbeckham Judi says: "There is a strong hint here of being competitive with his own dad, David. "Brooklyn seems to want to show off his cool side with the shades and his successful, more macho brand too, leaning over the pool table with his arms splayed and his shirt undone at the neck to register a rather old-fashioned sense of showing alpha traits. "Growing up with a genuine, world famous hero as a dad and 'head' of the household might have made Brooklyn feel determined to prove he can have his own alpha profile. "In other snaps he's walking around with what looks like a whisky glass in one hand to hint at a projection of more old-school macho power."
