Katie, 46, has admitted she’s hooked on going under the knife – and issued a stark warning to young women chasing perfection.

The reality star is known for undergoing numerous cosmetic surgeries, including breast surgeries (implants and reductions), facelifts, and other procedures like a “fox eyes” procedure.

In a recent TikTok live, Katie addressed where her desire to have cosmetic surgery came from.

A fan asked her: “Why do you keep getting surgery?”

Katie replied: “That is a very good question, so obviously I’ve had lot of therapy because I’ve had trauma in my life.

“I think surgery stems from something from when I was younger, and me feeling I’m not validated or good enough.

“It must have started form there. But to be honest, I quite like having the surgery it makes me look fresh.

“I’m 47 in May, and when I look at people I went to school with, I think they look haggard, you can grow old gracefully, but I don’t want to grow old gracefully.

“If there’s these procedures out there to be done I will take advantage of them and at least I’m being honest.”

Katie live-streamed her latest cosmetic procedure to thousands of stunned fans directly from the operating table.

Two surgeons worked on the TV star simultaneously injecting her bum with 50 needles of filler.

Katie previously said she had cancelled the op and was hitting the gym to make her bum bigger naturally, but has now given in to temptation.

In the TikTok broadcast, the mum of five appeared upbeat and relaxed as she spoke with viewers while receiving 500ml of filler for her latest BBL to give her rear a boost.

“I’m having it done now, filler put in as we speak,” she explained mid-procedure.

“Two surgeons so it’s quicker because I’d rather have it both done at the same time. Teamwork makes the dream work.”

Katie continued: “I’ve just had Endo laser and filler, I’m having it put in my bum.

“It will dissolve over time, but it can last up to two years.

“Something can always go wrong. Anaesthetic is always a risk, but I haven’t been put to sleep for this – I’m awake, talking to you guys.”

As the filler continued being injected, Katie remarked, “We are numb but I can feel it getting stingy now, which I know is very normal. I’m not feeling sore… I’m feeling good.”

Despite the £1,500 cost of the treatment, Katie admitted she was getting it done for free to promote the clinic.

Thousands of fans tuned in, flooding the comment section with a mix of support and shock.

In 2019, Katie had a full body transformation in Turkey, including a facelift, eye and eyelid lift, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and a tummy tuck.

She hasn’t use the word “addiction” herself, but confessed she’s aware of how many surgeries she’s had and the toll it’s taken on her body.

While she’s no stranger to tweakments, Katie’s now urging girls to think twice before following in her footsteps – saying she’s learned the hard way.

Katie has also spoken openly about her reliance on cosmetic procedures and the impact they’ve had on her.

She has expressed regret about the number of surgeries she’s had and the potential for long-term physical and emotional repercussions, including the recovery process, pain, and potential for a desire to return to a “before” state.
