Katie Price insisted that she is healthy after Susanna Reid expressed concern about her weight during Monday’s episode of Good Morning Britain. The former glamour model, who is now 47 years old, appeared on the ITV programme to speak with presenters Susanna Reid, 55, and Ed Balls, 59. During the interview, the conversation initially focused on Katie’s personal life, particularly her recent marriage to Lee Andrews. However, the topic soon shifted when Susanna addressed the concerns many viewers and fans have raised about Katie’s noticeably slimmer appearance.
Katie has been the subject of widespread discussion on social media in recent months, with many people commenting on her dramatic weight loss. Back in January, she had already spoken publicly about the issue, revealing that she was seeking medical advice after photos of her looking very thin circulated online and prompted concern from fans. Those images led some people to describe her appearance as “gaunt,” and the speculation about her health continued to grow.
During the Good Morning Britain interview, Susanna decided to address the matter directly. She carefully explained her concern while speaking to Katie on air. Susanna said that she felt worried about Katie’s weight and pointed out that she appeared extremely slim. She remarked that Katie looked “very, very, very skinny,” making it clear that her comments came from a place of concern rather than criticism.
Katie responded positively to the question and said that she was actually glad Susanna had brought up the topic. She explained that the discussion around her weight had been widely circulating online, and she welcomed the opportunity to clarify what was really happening with her health. Susanna then asked Katie about rumours suggesting that her weight loss might be connected to weight loss medication. In particular, there had been speculation among fans that Katie could be using Ozempic, a medication sometimes prescribed for diabetes but increasingly associated with weight loss.
Susanna asked whether Katie had determined if she was a healthy weight or if her weight loss might be connected to medication. Katie responded by explaining that she had already taken steps to investigate the issue with doctors. She said that people who follow her on social media would already know that she has lost weight, and she acknowledged that her appearance has changed significantly.
Katie openly admitted that she herself can see the difference in her body. She said that she recognizes she has become very thin and that she understands why people might think she looks gaunt. Because of these concerns, she decided to consult medical professionals to find out why the weight loss was happening.
She explained that she had undergone several medical tests in order to determine whether there was an underlying health issue. According to Katie, doctors carried out a series of blood tests and other examinations. She even mentioned that she completed a stool test as part of the investigation, emphasizing that she had taken the situation seriously and wanted to fully understand what might be causing the changes in her body.
Susanna then asked a follow-up question to confirm whether the doctors had reassured her about her overall health. Katie responded by explaining that she had raised the same rumours with her doctors that people had been discussing online. She told them that many individuals had been accusing her of using Ozempic or other weight loss drugs.
According to Katie, the doctors informed her that her medical tests did not show any evidence that she had been using Ozempic. She explained that they told her it would be possible to detect such medications through blood tests, and the results showed that she was not taking them. This, she said, confirmed that the speculation circulating online was incorrect.
Katie then shared more information about what the doctors had discovered so far. She revealed that one of the issues identified in her test results was a lack of iron. Low iron levels can lead to a variety of symptoms, including fatigue and other health concerns, and the doctors are continuing to monitor her condition. She said that they are now conducting additional checks to understand more about what might be contributing to her weight loss.
In addition to the iron deficiency, Katie also explained that she is currently going through the early stages of menopause, known as premenopause. She suggested that this could also be playing a role in the changes she has been experiencing in her body.
Despite the speculation and ongoing public discussion about her appearance, Katie maintained that she is addressing the situation responsibly with medical professionals. By undergoing tests and speaking openly about the results, she attempted to reassure viewers that she is aware of the concerns and is taking steps to look after her health. Her comments during the interview aimed to clear up the rumours about weight loss medication and explain that she is working with doctors to understand the reasons behind her recent weight loss.
