JJ Slater sparks concern after revealing he's been rushed to hospital - after girlfriend Katie Price admitted she 'doesn't free' in their relationship
JJ Slater sparked concern among social media followers on Sunday evening after revealing he had been admitted to hospital. The on-off boyfriend of former glamour model Katie Price, who has type 1 diabetes, was forced to take precautionary measures after suffering a setback with the chronic autoimmune condition. Taking to Instagram, Slater, 32, shared a photo of one tattooed arm fitted with a peripheral venous catheter shortly after arriving at a local accident and emergency department. Captioning the shot, he wrote: 'Hate to see it. The reality of living with type 1 diabetes. Late nights in A&E.' Slater's hospital visit comes after Price, 48, admitted she 'didn't feel free' in her current relationship with the fashion designer. The pair have been together for 18 months after first meeting following his TV appearance on Married At First Sight UK. The on-off boyfriend of Katie Price, who has type 1 diabetes , was forced to take precautionary measures after suffering a setback with the chronic autoimmune condition Discussing her relationship on Paul C. Brunson's podcast We Need To Talk in May, Price revealed how she feels about her romance. When told she should feel 'happy' and 'free' with a partner, Price admitted: 'I've never had that in any relationship. Never had any of them. 'And JJ, he's the most kind, genuine, easygoing, chilled person. But do I feel my happiest and do I feel free? No. 'It's not a reflection on him, maybe that's what I need to change for myself.' She added: 'Freedom to me is like when I took my kids to Thailand for a month, just me and them. We felt free. Just little life experiences, seeing things, taking them to little adventures.' Price went on to discuss other concerns in her relationship as she shared fears that she spends too much time with JJ and not enough with her friends. She continued: 'I just don't want to answer to anyone, I want them to fit in with me.' When you meet someone, it's natural to want to be with them all the time. 'Then the mistakes I've made in the past are then you're with them all the time. It becomes literally 24/7 because I've never been out with someone who's had a nine to five job.' In the UK about 90 per cent of diabetic adults have Type 2 diabetes Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person's blood sugar level to become too high. There are two main types of diabetes: - Type 1, where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin. - Type 2, where the body does not produce enough insulin, or the body's cells do not react to insulin. Type 2 diabetes is far more common than Type 1. In the UK, around 90% of all adults with diabetes have Type 2. Reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes can be achieved through healthy eating, regular exercise and achieving a healthy body weight. The main symptoms of diabetes include: feeling very thirsty, urinating more frequently (particularly at night), feeling very tired, weight loss, and loss of muscle bulk. Discussing her relationship on Paul C. Brunson's podcast We Need To Talk in May, Price revealed how she feels about her romance Price recently prompted inevitable speculation regarding her current relationship status after reshuffling her social media platform to prioritise pictures that focused on her children and passion for horse-riding. She also drew attention to her pantomime role in Pinocchio - in which she plays a fairy - as well as promotional photos and videos for CBD oil and niche, online fashion retailers. But there appeared to be no room for Slater, who Price once described as 'my absolute everything.' Likewise, Price was notably absent from his Instagram platform, with the first visible photo of the model seemingly shared last November. The Real Husbands of Katie Price In the decades since she first rose to fame, Katie Price has enjoyed – and quite likely endured – a decidedly busy love life that has seen her walk down the aisle three times before heading to divorce court in equal measure. Here's a look at the trio with whom she exchanged 'I dos'... and 'I don'ts': PETER ANDRE (2005 - 2009) The nation got to watch love blossom between the pair when they starred alongside one another on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here back in 2004. The flying sparks soon became nuptials, with blushing bride Katie and her erstwhile pop hunk beau tying the knot at Highclere Castle (the grand Berkshire estate of Downton Abbey fame) in September 2005. Katie, who was already mother to son Harvey (born in 2002 following a romance with former footballer Dwight Yorke), soon started a family with her new husband. The couple welcomed son Junior in 2005, while daughter Princess followed in 2007. Creation between the pair also came artistically, with the release of reality programmes, a failed talk show and a foray into the music world. However, after four years of securing their position as the Ken and Barbie of reality TV and glossy magazine deals, the pair announced in 2009 that they were going their separate ways. ALEX REID (2010 - 2012) Katie soon switched her romantic allegiance from a onetime ab-bearing pop heartthrob to musclebound MMA fighter Alex Reid. The two met at Michelle Heaton's 30th birthday party at London's Cafe de Paris. But shortly after they got together, Katie dumped Alex on live TV, only for him to win her back and the pair go from strength to strength. Weeks after proudly cheering her man on to a win on the 2010 edition of Celebrity Big Brother (also featuring none other than her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers), Katie jetted off to Las Vegas to tie the knot with her new partner in February 2010 after just seven months of dating – and nine months after divorcing Peter. Following their Sin City sojourn, the pair returned to their native UK, where they had a formal ceremony – which was filmed for a TV series. However, after just 11 months of marriage, the pair announced they were splitting and their divorce was finalised in March 2012. While Katie declared at the time that she married Alex 'too soon', she would later go on to reveal that a major factor in their split was his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne. KIERAN HAYLER (2013 - 2021) Showing herself to be a true woman of the times, Katie embarked on a romance with former stripper Kieran after the two met on the now-defunct Blackberry Messenger service in 2012. And just two months after altering the paths of their lives via those thumb-tapped fateful opening messages, the twosome would go on to exchange nuptials in the Caribbean. Kieran proposed to a thrilled Katie on Christmas Day 2012, and just three weeks later, the pair would be pronounced husband and wife in the idyllic shores of the Bahamas on January 16, 2013. They had their marriage blessed in Weston-super Mare, and in the months that followed, it appeared that Katie had finally found her happily ever after. They welcomed son Jett in August 2013, and daughter Bunny in August 2014. But Katie's world came crashing down in 2014, when she discovered that Kieran had cheated on her with her close friend of 20 years, Jane Pountney, and was enjoying a fling with another of her pals, Chrissy Thomas. After publicly lashing out at all parties involved (and naming her pet pigs after her friends-turned-foes), Katie appeared determined to make things work when she renewed her vows with Kieran in 2015. But alas, it would not turn out to be third time lucky for Katie, as the pair split in 2018 amid even more cheating allegations. Their 'amicable' divorce was finalised in early 2021.

Katie Price's boyfriend JJ Slater rushed to hospital after A&E dash
It is not the first health worry for Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, with Katie Price left concerned about her boyfriend after a worrying night for the 32-year-old JJ Slater was rushed to hospital again overnight and updated fans on his health battle. Katie Price's boyfriend shared a worrying photo from hospital which revealed a syringe in his arm. He explained the reasons behind why he went this morning after uploading the painful snap to Instagram. The 32-year-old captioned the image 'Hate to see it. The reality of living with type 1 diabetes. Late nights in A&E.' The former Married at First Sight star, whose real name is John Joe, had made his condition public last year, which led Katie to reach out to him on social media. JJ was rushed to hospital days before Christmas 2023 as he lost 1.5 stone in three weeks and his blood sugar levels were found to be dangerously high. Doctors diagnosed him with type 1 diabetes - and he will now need to inject himself with insulin four times per day and regulate his food intake. The reality star has been opening up about his health ordeal and how it will change his life. His condition was discovered after blood tests, taken after this weight dropped, revealed he was at risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, which can be life-threatening. JJ told the MailOnline: 'The first signs were that I always felt thirsty and needed to go the toilet in the middle of the night. I was waking up 4-5 times needing the toilet. Then I started to lose weight quite quickly. I lost about a stone and a half in three weeks, but I was still eating the same and going to the gym every day.' JJ said he felt like his body was 'deteriorating' and he noticed he was feeling lightheaded frequently. He went for a blood test and was alarmed the next morning when he had a string of missed calls from medics and a message telling him to go to hospital immediately. JJ explained: 'The average person's blood sugar is 4-7 and mine was 34, so mine was super high and there are a lot of complications that come with that. Your blood can become acidic, which is called DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis)... they were afraid that my glucose was so high that the process had already started. Luckily, it hasn't so being diagnosed before that happened was crucial.' He is now coming to terms with his diabetes diagnosis - and admits he didn't realise it was a condition that young people can be diagnosed with. He said: 'Type 1 is an autoimmune disease whereas type 2 is brought on by lifestyle and you can help it with diet but type 1 it is what it is. For the rest of my life, I will have this and it's getting my head around that. I've lived my whole life until the age of 31 and now this has happened.'

Katie Price discusses heartbreaking suicide attempt that left her with 'a black eye' as she 'self medicated on coke during lowest moment'
Katie Price opened up about her heartbreaking suicide attempt that left her with 'a black eye' during a new interview on Tuesday. The former glamour model, 46, recalled 'self medicating on coke during her lowest moment' four years ago that left her 'not wanting to be here.' Katie, who is now in a happy relationship with JJ Slater, admitted herself into the Priory shortly after she noticed she was relying on drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism. Speaking on the latest episode of Paul C Brunson's podcast, We Need To Talk, she spoke about her defining life moments and her healing journey. The TV personality began: 'I tried to commit suicide and then I woke up. My phone was down the toilet. I had a black eye, Just didn't want to be here anymore. 'The lowest moment for me was when I took coke, self medicating on it because it blocked everything…This was about four years ago, I'd say.' While most people who take cocaine get an intense high, it shut Katie down. This is typical of people who suffer from ADHD, and it was after her stay in the Priory that she had a formal diagnosis. She continued: 'It was the denial to my family. 'Kate are you alright?' [her family would ask] and I'd be like 'yeah yeah I'm fine, I'm fine' and then I'm in bed depressed, didn't want to get up, didn't want to have a shower, not me. 'When really when I did get up to go to work, people would be like, "are you alright?" and it was like inside I wanted to cry and go "no, I'm not' but I had to put on the face.'' In September 2021, Katie was arrested for drink-driving after flipping her uninsured BMW X5 on its side on a country lane near her home in West Sussex. She admitted drink-driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance at court, and immediately checked into The Priory following the arrest. Katie was handed a 16-week suspended sentence and two-year ban at Crawley Magistrates' Court. Discussing her stay at The Priory, she explained: 'I thought oh my god, I've got to do something, this isn't me. 'That's why I don't judge anyone or when they talk about mental health, because I think it is an actual, real, serious thing. If you want to help yourself, it doesn't matter who's around you, it doesn't matter who says help yourself.' Katie continued: 'You've got to want to do it yourself, and if you can't do it for yourself, you'll never get better. You have got to want to do it yourself, by taking accountability of the situation I was in and owning up to how I felt. 'You've got to take accountability to people you've hurt, you know, your family, yes, you've got to own it and realise by getting through it, what doors have opened. 'It's like the sunshine. Look what opportunities you've got now. Why? Because your head's better. 'I'm not being dictated. I control what I do. No one's controlling me. I know where I'm at. I've just been in control and communicating.' Katie also visited The Priory in September 2018 and spent 28 days in the facility after her family urged her to seek help following wild partying antics in Mallorca and a turbulent year in which she was arrested for drink-driving. At the time, she was confronted by her loved ones after shocking footage emerged of her rapping 'I love coke' during a booze-fuelled hen do. Katie broke down after the intervention and admitted she needed help to get over her chaotic behaviour, which she blamed on her PTSD. If you have been affected by this story, you can call the Samaritans on 116 123 or visit A look at Katie Price's troubled past A household name in the UK, Katie Price has lived out the highs and lows of life in the spotlight. An open book with her fans, the mother-of-five has documented many of her woes on her various reality series and in tell-all interviews. Having courted the limelight as a teenage glamour model, the public have witnessed Jordan's rocket to fame and occasional falls from grace. Despite her fame and wealth, life has not come easily for Katie, who has battled bankruptcy, burglaries, assaults and drug abuse, while also navigating a very rocky love life. Now we take a look back at her turbulent past. ROCKY ROMANCES Katie's quest for love has seen her tie the knot three times and get engaged eight. In 1996, Katie, then a surgery-free 18-year-old, got engaged to Gladiator star Warren Furman, now 48, (better known as Ace), but they split in two years later. She was also technically engaged to businessman Scott Sullivan, but has since admitted her heart wasn't in it when he gave her a ring just before she was about to enter the I'm A Celebrity jungle in 2004, where she famously met Peter Andre. Katie fell madly in love with Pete, 48, on the show and the pair got married in 2006. They went on to have two children; son Junior, 15, and Princess, 13, before they split in 2009. Admitting she was on the 'rebound' Katie started dating cage fighter Alex Reid, 45, a mere eight weeks after her split from Pete. Following a whirlwind romance the pair wed in Las Vegas in January 2010 but the marriage fell apart less than a year later. Two years later Katie fell for Argentinian model model Leandro Penna, 35, after meeting him at Elton John's Oscars party in LA. Revealing she bedded him on the first night, the pair went on to get engaged before they split in 2012. Later that year, Katie met part-time stripper and plasterer Kieran Hayler, who is nine years her junior. The pair exchanged vows a mere five weeks later with Katie already pregnant with the couple's first son Jett. However, in 2017 the pair announced they were going to divorce, three years after she found out about Kieran's affairs with her friends Jane Poutney and Chrissy Thomas. In July 2019, Katie announced she was engaged again to personal trainer Kris Boyson, 32, after a year of dating. The reality star - who was still legally married to third husband Kieran at the time- made the shock announcement during an appearance on Loose Women. Their engagement was short-lived however as the couple split in November of that year, with Katie admitting to Kris that she cheated on him. The reality star went on to find love with Carl Woods in July 2020 and the couple got engaged in April 2021. Three months later her divorce with Kieran was made official and she set about planning her wedding to Carl. However, it wasn't meant to be as in November 2022 Carl revealed he had dumped Katie after claiming he found out she allegedly slept with someone else - and admitted to it. BRUSHES WITH THE LAW Katie is no stranger to court, having risked jail time on multiple occasions due to various driving violations. In 2003, Katie swerved a speeding charge after police failed to arrest her within 12 weeks of allegedly clocking 70mph in a 40mph zone in her Range Rover. Five years later she landed three penalty points after being caught talking on her mobile phone while driving. In 2009 she failed to provide the identity of the driver after her car was allegedly caught speeding in a 30mph zone and was later handed four penalty points after being clocked at 99mph and was handed four points on her licence. The following year she was convicted for failing to be in proper control of her horsebox after veering into another lane in February and was given three points on her licence, bringing her total to 10. Later that year she was banned from driving for six months after doing 83mph in a 70mph zone in her home county of West Sussex. In 2012, Katie was disqualified for 12 months for failing to respond to two speeding tickets in September. After a quiet few years Katie landed a six-month ban in February 2018 for speeding after totting up 12 penalty points for speeding. In July, photos emerged of her driving while still banned. Then in October she was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and spent 13 hours in custody after crashing into a VW Golf and a hedge on a gated estate at 2am. In 2019 she was given a three-month ban for driving while disqualified in January of that year and was later handed a five-year restraining order banning her from contacting Michelle Penticost either directly or indirectly after hurling abuse at her during an argument at a school playground. Then in October, Katie was banned from driving for a further 18 months for failing to inform police who was behind the wheel of her pink Range Rover during a crash in Bexley, south east London. Two years later she crashed her BMW car on a country road near her West Sussex home in the early hours of the morning after drinking and taking drugs. She pleaded guilty at Crawley Magistrates of drink driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance and is handed a 16-week suspended prison sentence. In 2022 she then pleaded guilty to breaching a five-year restraining order not to contact, directly or indirectly, Michelle Penticost. She avoided jail again after claiming she 'misunderstood' the rules of a restraining order when she sent a 'vile and nasty' message about her ex-husband's fiancée. FINANCIAL WOES Katie was declared bankrupt in 2019 with debts of £3.2m from her failed company Jordan Trading Ltd, that was set up to oversee her perfume and cosmetics line. She set up the company in 2003 but in 2017 an application was put in to wind up the company as she tried to sort out her finances. When the mother-of-five was declared bankrupt she vowed to pay back £12,000 a month to creditors of the firm through an individual voluntary arrangement. The bankruptcy meant Katie, once worth a reported £45million, faced losing her £2million 11-bedroom mansion. She took out a second mortgage on the property in 2015, but faced monthly payments of £12,300. In June 2022 the former model had been due to attend the Royal Court of Justice to explain to a judge why she has failed to repay millions owed to creditors. However, the hearing was adjourned at the last minute with her solicitors giving no reason for Katie's no show before the court. Despite being bankrupt Katie has seemingly led a lavish life, including exotic holidays to Las Vegas and Thailand. ADDICTION STRUGGLES Katie's children have threatened to 'never speak to her again' if she took cocaine after her highly publicised battle with drugs. Katie also visited The Priory in 2018 when she spent 28 days as an inpatient after her family urged her to seek help following wild partying antics in Mallorca. At the time, she was confronted by her loved ones after shocking footage emerged of her rapping 'I love coke' during a booze-fuelled hen do. Katie broke down after the intervention and admitted she needed help to get over her chaotic behaviour, which she blamed on her PTSD. She later said: 'My family and friends were hurt, they didn't know what to do. All these years in the industry I never have [done drugs] but I purely did it to self-medicate, I went to the doctors and told them the truth... 'Self-medicating on drugs really, it was disgusting, but it was my way of dealing with it. At least I can hold my hands up, if I didn't speak out now, I would still be in a rut'. In 2020 Katie revealed she had been taking monthly drug tests to 'build trust' with her ex-husbands Peter Andre and Kieran Hayler, with whom she shares four children. In 2021, Katie crashed her BMW while double the drink-drive limit after leaving her home to allegedly hunt for drugs during an all-night alcohol and cocaine bender. In November 2022 Katie's ex Carl Woods reportedly leaked a recording of his former partner speaking about drugs. In the midst of their break-up, Carl was said to have released a recording which allegedly hears Katie saying she didn't turn up to an event 'because I was on coke'. THE MUCKY MANSION Katie purchased a sprawling property in West Sussex for £1.3million back in 2014 with the hope of turning it into a cosy family home. However the property was left in disarray after various mishaps, including fly tipping, floods, a fire and burglaries. Renovations kicked off in June 2019, but the influencer was left devastated when the mucky mansion was broken into and destroyed by intruders a year later. In June 2020, thieves broke in to steal her I'm A Celebrity rucksack and leant the shower head over the ceiling which caused the bathroom to flood and the ceiling to collapse. Just weeks later, she suffered a fresh blow as thieves broke in again, and she vowed to up security after a neighbour witnessed three men on her private property. In 2021 the place was ransacked yet again, with thieves stealing old photographs and hard drives. The following year she landed a £45,000 payday to chart her renovations in the Channel 4 series Katie Price's Mucky Mansion. She bagged a second series of the show but filming was allegedly been thrown into mayhem since her 'filthy' house is too dirty for production crews to shoot in. ASSAULT Katie suffered trauma from a young age, revealing she was raped in a park at the age of seven. The former Page 3 star detailed the damage the ordeal has caused during an appearance on Loose Women in 2017, stating: 'There was the sexual assault and I was later raped. 'I have discussed before and I do believe it led to me dressing provocatively and becoming a model. 'I had been training to be a nurse but the glamour modelling world is aimed at men. They can look but they can't touch. You can say or do what you like in a picture.' The media personality was also sexually exploited by a photographer as a child, revealing: 'He took indecent photographs that I thought were innocent at the time. I was 12. He made me do pictures where I was sticking my tongue out. They looked young and girly but to him. It is sexual. He used to make these milkshakes. 'I never took one because I didn't like it. The police when they came around.. that's what he did he made the girls drink them and he drugged them.' In 2018, Katie was raped at gunpoint during a horrifying carjacking in South Africa. Katie was thrown out of the vehicle by the attackers, during her journey from Johannesburg to Swaziland in two people carriers with the production crew. The vehicles were ransacked of laptops, iPads, passports, cash and jewellery – but the robbers left behind a fortune in camera gear which the crew had stored on board. The attackers were never apprehended. In September 2021 Katie was allegedly punched in the face at her home in Essex, with a 32-year-old man who was then held on suspicious of assault. Police were called to the former glamour model's at around 1.30am on August 23, where a man was arrested on suspicion of assault, theft and coercive and controlling behaviour. Katie was taken to hospital and was pictured the following day with bruises to her face and an injured lip. MENTAL HEALTH BATTLES Katie has been open about her struggle with anxiety and depression. In September, the mother-of-five revealed that she attempted suicide after suffering from 'anxiety, depression and major trauma' following her horrific 2018 carjacking. The reality star admitted she hit rock bottom after she was raped at gunpoint during the ordeal and tried to hang herself, but after passing out she 'saw her kids faces' and realised she 'never wanted it to happen again.' Katie also said she'll likely need therapy 'for the rest of her life,' after being diagnosed with PTSD. She has received help for her mental health struggles during several stints at The Priory. Katie thanked her therapist in a sweet Instagram post in May 2022 as she gave an update on her mental health. She penned: 'I'm so proud of myself and how far I've come changing the ways I now deal with situations that I've now learnt are my trigger points that I wasn't about to control before. 'Thank you to my therapists, consultant and my support network around me,' Katie added a red heart emoji. She added: 'Tomorrow finally is a chapter I've completed in moving forwards, I'll let you know tomorrow what it is.' FAMILY MATTERS Katie welcomed her first child, Harvey, in September 2022 but his father Dwight Yorke denied he was the father, until a DNA test proved his paternity. The former glamour model and the former premier league footballer briefly had a romance in 2001, and broke up soon after Katie fell pregnant. Katie has claimed Dwight 'disowned' their son and has no contact with him. Her relationship with her son was shown in two BBC documentaries that charted Harvey transitioning into adulthood and Katie's journey into researching for a specialist college that caters to Harvey's complex needs. Harvey is on the autism spectrum and was born with disabilities including partial blindness, ADHD and Prader-Willi syndrome. Katie is also mother to Junior, 17, and Princess, 15, with ex-husband Peter Andre and has Bunny, eight, and Jett, nine, with ex Kieran Hayler. In August 2022, Katie claimed she has limited access to her two youngest children after her already strained relationship with their father broke down. Katie's mother Amy suffers from the terminal illness idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis- which causes scarring to the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe, after being diagnosed in 2017. The star previously revealed she's begun to organise her mother's funeral, after 'accepting' her death is imminent. Katie had previously revealed she offered one of her own lungs for Amy, because she is currently waiting to see if she can have a transplant Little is known about Katie's biological father Ray after he walked out on Katie and her mother when she was just four years old. BOTCHED SURGERY AND INJURIES Katie has undergone an array of procedures over the years, including rhinoplasty, a silhouette facelift, 3D, veneers, lip fillers and Botox. In 2015, just before appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, the reality star had a botched boob reduction that left her with a hole in her breast and an implant protruding from her flesh. Katie told her shocked housemates: 'I've got no tits anymore. They've gone. There's not even anything there. If you saw what I'm like underneath. The scar's gone septic. My whole implant was hanging out on New Year's Day.' Shortly after leaving the Big Brother house she underwent corrective surgery and had her implants swapped for a D-cup. Katie claimed her first face lift in 2017 had been a botched job and went back under the knife the following year aged 40 to correct it. She said at the time 'I need to get my face re-corrected after surgeon has totally f**ked my face up'. He agent added: 'She had the thread and it really quite distorted her look. She got a lot of backlash, a lot of negative press, a lot of trolling, everyone saying she'd taken it too far, when actually it was a job that had not gone to plan.' In 2012 she jetted to Belgium to correct botched surgery on her breasts, saying her surgeon was utterly shocked by the 'awful' previous procedure. Katie said: 'They looked deformed, they were absolutely awful. That's the first time I've gone to a different surgeon. I had to go back to Frank with my head down, ashamed that I'd been to another clinic.' In August 2020, Katie revealed a freak accident had left her with two broken feet after she had plummeted 25ft off a wall at a theme park in Turkey. Upon her return to the UK, she was left using a wheelchair and fearing she would be paralysed before doctors told her she could be in recovery for up to two years and was initially unable to walk for six months. PET TRAGEDIES Katie has been lambasted by animal charities and petitions have been set up to stop her owning animals after several pets died under her care. In November 2022, Katie's beloved dog Sharon was killed when she allegedly escaped and ran onto the road where she was hit by a car. Pomeranian Sharon was picked up off the A24 by the driver of the vehicle and taken to to Arun Vets in Pulborough, West Sussex, where her death was confirmed. Weeks before she was left distraught after losing her beloved Chihuahua Captain while on holiday in Dorset. Katie's dogs Rolo, Queenie and Sparkle died in recent years, while she has also lost a pet chameleon and a beloved horse. In 2021 it was revealed she she gave away her daughter Princess' puppy Precious to a member of the crew on her TV show.

'The amount of times my mum had to pick me up, where he'd cut all my clothes off and I was naked in a telephone box, [calling her mum] 'Mum, he's done it again. Pick me up'." Despite Amy's best efforts to intervene, it took a long time before Katie could free herself of her abuser. 'Then my mum called Child Protection and the police," said Katie. Then I was training to be a nurse, because that's what I wanted to do, be a registered nurse. "But before I did the course, I worked in these nursing homes. I was like 16, and they had to call the police on him. These are memories that I've got, a big police van, him kicking off because he thought I fancied a guy that worked there. 'It took ages to get out of that relationship. It was dreadful. But I was so sucked into like, yeah, he's older with the car. And it was near the end of my school years.'
