Katie Price reveals dramaticly stretched appearance after string of tweakments
Katie Price showcased her ever-changing looks during a day out ahead of returning to her pantomime work as she and her beloved dog enjoyed the Welsh seaside Katie Price revealed her constantly changing looks as she took a break from her packed work schedule. The former glamour model, 46, is no stranger to going under the knife and has most recently had procedures done, including a facelift and having her ears pinned back during a trip to Turkey. This week though, the telly star is keeping herself busy and is touring England and North Wales in an Easter pantomime but she made sure to take time out of her day to spend it with her young puppy and made the most of the refreshing sea breeze in Rhyl, North Wales. Mum-of-five Katie looked glamorous despite her casual appearance along the sea front. She opted for a white crop top while completing her wardrobe with a pair of grey tracksuit bottoms and long fleeced black jacket as the temperatures dropped slightly.

Katie's fresh new look also saw her showcase her eyebrows after revealing that they had started to flake off, as the star recently had a treatment to remove the tattooing. The star revealed that she had been subjected to vile comments from social media bullies over her appearance and her brows flaking away. "My eyebrows; I get a lot of trolling and that about my eyebrows. I already know what my eyebrows look like – where I've had the face done they sort of go up and woo into my forehead," she said on her podcast. Katie added: "And, over the years, where I've had micro-blading and tattooing, they'e kind of half faded, I want to re-start them all again. So instead of lasering I've tried the micro-needling and they put a solution on it that really stings but it's to take all the pigment out so I've had my first session today and they look lighter already, but it's a bit sore there. So my face will start looking a bit more normal without slug looking eyebrows." But while she's currently performing in the spring panto of Pinocchio, alongside Bobby Davro and Casualty actress Amanda Henderson, the "naughty adults only" theatre show has failed to rake in as many tickets had initially been expected. The show, which has been branded a "hilarious Easter panto with no strings attached," saw those attending able to purchase a second ticket for half price. Although the production has recently been to towns including Northampton, Clacton, Sevenoaks and Buckinghamshire, seating maps for the tour have displayed a large selection of empty seats in the auditoriums. Last month, Katie announced that both of her bankruptcies have been discharged. Katie, who has fronted various Channel 4 and BBC documentaries about her life, was declared bankrupt for a second time last year over an unpaid tax bill worth more than £750,000. Her first bankruptcy from 2019 was discharged earlier this year, after a hearing at the Insolvency and Companies Court. A representative for the mum-of-five confirmed at the end of March that the second bankruptcy has been discharged. Speaking to The Sun, Katie said: "Im so happy. I can finally move on and put these bankruptcies behind me and now only focus on the positive. Thank you to everyone that has supported me through this process." Her solicitor Chris Keane, from Fieldfisher LLP, went on to add to the publciation that Katie had been "fully compliant with her Trustee in Bankruptcy and has been discharged from both bankruptcies in short order", after attending a private interview.

'I tried Whisker's Litter-Robot 4 to see if it could end the daily cat litter nightmare for good'
The Litter-Robot 4 is a self-cleaning automatic cat litter tray that promises to do the scooping for you. But is it worth the £749 price tag? I tried it out with my cat Theo to see My cat, Theo, is my best mate in the whole wide world. He's fluffy, has a knack for waking me up with ear-splitting yowls, and every morning and night, he curls up on my chest and purrs away contentedly in bed. We both have a habit of yelling at people to eat - we're practically two peas in a pod. But as they say, with great love comes great responsibility - and the less glamorous side of pet ownership: scooping up poo. Any cat owner can attest to the sheer agony of cleaning out clumped-together litter and its accompanying stench. Not to mention vacuuming up the mountain of litter he scatters all over my flat. Thankfully, the modern world has been constructed to help us find solutions to these kinds of problems, which led me to discover Whisker's Litter-Robot 4 (£749). This automatic cat litter box claims to put an end to the poop-scooping nightmare once and for all with its self-cleaning feature, while providing fresh litter for your cat and trapping the odour, reports MyLondon. For those looking for more budget-friendly options, there's the PetSafe ScoopFree Covered Self-Cleaning Litter Box available on Amazon for £169.56 (down from £269.99). While it does offer the odour-removal feature, it has a slightly lower user-rating at 3.9 out of 5,448 ratings. Alternatively, the Yaheetech Decorative Litter Box Enclosure is priced at £49.39 from B&Q. Although it's not automatic (meaning you'll still have to do most of the dirty work yourself) and doesn't come with the odour-trap feature, it's a decent low-tech solution. I put Whisker's Litter-Robot 4 to the test to see if it could finally liberate me from the daily chore of vacuuming up litter off the floor. Here's what I thought: Litter-Robot 4: Setting Up Given the advertised features, I fully anticipated needing a Master's Degree to get it up and running. To my relief, it was quite simple. On a scale of 'my mum could do it without calling me for help' to 'Einstein would have a hard time with this', it definitely falls into the 'she'd need a quick WhatsApp chat to figure it out' category. The Litter-Robot 4 arrives in a massive box as it comes pre-assembled. Simply remove the tape, decide if you want the small litter guard, and plug it in. It appears robust, but one potential drawback is its size. While it's roughly the same width as my regular litter tray (56cm), it's about twice as tall (75cm), so ensure you have an appropriate place for it. It also weighs 10.4kg without litter, equivalent to about two male cats. When it comes to filling it with litter, there's an unmistakable line to reach - although you do need fine, non-clumping litter for optimal performance. To help your cat adjust to the new box, I'd recommend keeping the new litter in your original litter box for a week prior. Once the Litter Robot is assembled, simply follow the instructions in the booklet which involve downloading the app. The app and functionality This is where things get interesting. After a straightforward setup process on the app, you can virtually control the entire Litter-Robot 4 via your app. One thing to note is that it defaults to American dates and measurements, which can be slightly irritating. But once you've navigated past that, you're onto a winner. The app provides information on the litter's fullness, the amount of waste, and even allows you to schedule a cleaning cycle from your phone. The real game-changer is the app's ability to monitor your cat's health. While it doesn't replace a vet visit when something seems amiss, having an early warning system can be reassuring. During my fortnight with the Litter-Robot 4, I encountered no issues with the app. It performed as expected, providing near-perfect readings of his weight. Once the Litter-Robot was set up, the next hurdle was getting my cats to adapt. Theo, being a timid 14 year old, posed a challenge. Fortunately, Whisker offers a useful guide on how to familiarise your feline with their new oversized toilet. Following the instructions, I placed the litter next to his regular one for a week without cleaning the old one. After about a week, I removed the old one and crossed my fingers. Thankfully, we avoided any floor mishaps. Would I recommend the Litter-Robot 4? Absolutely. Although the Litter-Robot 4 is certainly an investment. You're paying for daily convenience. If you have multiple cats, they can all use the same unit, making the cost more bearable. Given its top-notch functionality, absence of odour, and the freedom from daily poop-scooping duties, I'm pleased to say it's certainly worth the price tag.
