She’s been through some of the toughest months of her life that saw her reach rock bottom, but Katie Price is back and feeling better than ever. The mum-of-five checked into The Priory for four weeks in January after admitting to taking cocaine to “numb the pain” following a string of personal woes.

Instead, the 42-year-old is focusing on her career and is enjoying some down-time in lockdown with her son Harvey, who turns 18 this week. She says, “I love it. It’s been quite nice. I’m doing lots more cooking.
Before this I was eating out a lot, so I’m just enjoying doing that. I’m quite a homely person anyway.”
Here, Katie opens up about feeling stronger than ever, her mum Amy’s health after she was diagnosed with a terminal lung condition in 2017 and her dreams of rebuilding the Pricey empire…
