Katie Price has revealed on Snapchat that she’s been checked into hospital experiencing worrying weight loss symptoms.
The I’m A Celebrity star and former glamour model, 47, was only in hospital last week after accidentally stabbing herself while preparing food in the kitchen.
And that latest injury came just a few days after she expressed concern after experiencing pain in the same finger she had surgery on in 2002, after being diagnosed with a soft tissue cancer.
The most recent update came on Monday when Katie let her followers know that she had been checked back into hospital to investigate her unexplained weight loss.
‘I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods – and because my veins are so bad. They had three attempts. They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks.’
She explained further: ‘The reason I’m going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight, and I don’t know why. So that’s that.’

These two trips to hospital for Katie have come amid rumours and speculation that her close friends are ‘worried’ about her recent behaviour.
Katie is currently in the middle of a UK talking tour with Kerry Katona, which is running under the title of An Evening With Katie Price & Kerry Katona.
The tour is set to run until November, but fans at a theatre in Whitley Bay were left frustrated when Katie ended up arriving to the venue over two hours late.

Kerry had to keep the crowd happy on her own while waiting for Katie to arrive – she eventually spent 35 minutes on stage before the night was over.
This latest episode came after she pulled out of MK Pride at short notice, leaving organisers outraged – though Katie did apologise and explained that scheduling conflicts had caused the mix-up.
All of this has apparently left friends concerned for her welfare: ‘Katie has been turning up late to events – or not turning up at all – and those close to her are worried that she might be getting out of control.

A source close to Katie spoke to The Mirror: ‘They’ve witnessed it before. She’s trying to do it all, but she’s burning herself out. It doesn’t seem to be sinking in.
‘Katie doesn’t seem to care that she’s not just letting down the venues and the organisers, she’s also letting down her fans who have paid money to come to see her – it’s simply not fair on them.’
The source continued: ‘She doesn’t realise that being this unreliable has consequences, and while punctuality has never been her strong point, it’s not a good look.’
More comments explained that those near to Katie reportedly believe that she needs to take some time out to focus on herself instead of signing up for work she can’t do.
Amid all the chaos of checking in and out of hospital, Katie still found time to perform her 2017 single I Got U to a loving crowd at Chloe Ferry’s 30th birthday party.
The mum-of-five sang in a dimly-lit club venue to celebrate the Geordie Shore star’s big birthday bash.
After detailing that grisly wrist injury, caused by her accidentally cutting herself with a knife while preparing food, it’s hoped that this will allow her some time to rest and recuperate.
