Former glamour model Katie Price shared their concerns over her weight loss during the recent episode of her podcast
Katie Price's family shared their concerns over the former glamour model's weight loss as her dad pointed out her thin legs during a recent episode of her podcast. The 47-year-old's dad was watching football when Katie invited him to briefly join in on her weekly podcast with sister Sophie.
‌
At one point, her dad, Paul, went quiet as Katie asked him what he was looking at. He said on The Katie Price Show: "Look how thin them legs are, terrible aren't they? A hand can go round them," before Katie jokingly told listeners: "They're obsessed with my weight." Sophie agreed with Paul and reiterated: "You are thin."
‌
‌
Katie insisted she was happy with her weight, but Paul interrupted to say: "No, that's not right, it's probably that vaping crap." The Mucky Mansion star then revealed her mum, Amy, was also concerned with her weight.
"You know what mum said to me last night? 'You must be bulimic'. I said, 'JJ, do I throw my food up? No, I eat'," the mother-of-five explained to Sophie.
Her sister added: 'Mum called me the other day and said, 'I'm going to have a word with Kate because she's too thin'. I think mum saw a picture on Instagram and wasn't happy."
‌
Defending herself, Katie said: "My legs do look thin but I like it! Good!" Her dad quickly changed the subject to football and the family swiftly moved on from the topic of her weight.
It comes as Katie sparked renewed concern over her appearance this week. She recently shared a photo of herself beside two relatives, taken whilst enjoying some time with her family, in a post on social media.
‌
The star stood beside her nieces in the snap as she rocked a white top, a grey jacket, black leggings and white trainers whilst posing with her arms around her loved ones.
It was one of several "family time" photos shared by Katie on Facebook yesterday and she wrote in the caption of that post: "My beautiful nieces." She was met with concern on the platform, which comes after Katie revealed her weight last month amid people being "obsessed" over it.
‌
One person wrote: "Katie you look painfully thin." Another said in their reaction: "Her legs don't look real." Someone wrote: "Wow, not much left of Katie. I don't know if this is a healthy look."
Katie discussed her weight loss in January, telling viewers she's 'always been thin' but gained weight when she broke her feet.
She continued in the discussion on her podcast at the time: "Now I've realised when I was eating pasta, oats, or milk or anything, it bloats me. [...] So I've been avoiding stuff like that and not feeling so sluggish and tired after."
