Katie Price reveals boyfriend JJ Slater got ‘hair transplant' in Turkey after initially being denied surgery
KATIE Price has revealed that her Married at First Sight boyfriend has undergone a hair transplant after pulling out of surgery previously. The former glamour model, 47, is all loved up with MAFS UK star JJ Slater, 32, and the pair had planned on having "his and her" surgeries. 4 Katie Price's MAFS UK boyfriend JJ Slater has undergone a procedure in Turkey Credit: @katie-pricey/Snapchat/Backgrid 4 She documented his procedure on her social media Credit: @katie-pricey/Snapchat/Backgrid 4 Katie and JJ were meant to undergo his and hers surgeries, but he was forced to pull out - and now a massive U-turn has taken place Credit: Getty JJ was forced to pull out of the couple's joint ops due to his Type 1 Diabetes. But now Katie has revealed JJ found a way around having a hair transplant in Turkey after being previously refused. On Wednesday, Katie filmed her beau and shared the video on Snapchat as he underwent a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). Katie explained how the pair just "turned up" at the surgery. She also claimed they went along to the clinic "not knowing JJ was going to get this done" or fully understanding what exactly the procedure might be. With JJ in the chair, about to undergo the procedure, Katie said: "JJ is now here because he couldn't get a hair transplant or operation... "You don't like having your blood taken? Aw look at him." She went on: "So what they are going to do because of his diabetes they take his blood and then they spin it with medication and then they inject it into the head to get follicles. "We've just turned up we didn't even know he was going to get this done. "He wants to get these bits all done [around his forehead]. Princess Andre takes TWO subtle swipes at mum Katie Price as she reveals what she will NEVER do to follow in her footsteps "You're about to have a million injections, are you ChatGPT'ing it?" JJ replied: "Yes, I'm seeing what this actually is, I have no idea what to expect." It seems that JJ opted for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy instead of a hair transplant due to his diabetes. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves drawing a patient's blood and processing it to isolate platelet-rich plasma.
