Katie Price has reportedly lost half a stone after being left in so much pain she is unable to eat following her surgery on her broken feet.
The former glamour model, 42, underwent a six-hour operation on Friday after falling in a freak accident in Turkey earlier this month, breaking her ankles and feet.
Now Katie is said to have lost her appetite due to being in excruciating pain post operation- and friends are said to be worried for the television personality.

A source told The Sun: ‘Katie’s on all these pain medications but she just can’t sleep she’s in so much pain.
‘She’s gone off her food, which is unlike her, and has lost half a stone since the operation. She was already tiny, so everyone’s trying to tempt her into eating again as she can’t lose much more.’
MailOnline has contacted Katie’s representatives for comment.

‘So I’ve had my 6 hour op. Unfortunately more procedures was needed when they entered my feet than thought, but I’m lucky I have the chance to one day get on my feet again.
‘Chelsea Westminster hospital nurses doctors have been amazing and the surgeons totally have my up most RESPECT and absolutely FANTASTIC very professional and have been very honest and straight with me to make me actually sink in my head the seriousness of my injuries MASSIVE THANKYOU …
‘And massive thank you to @carljwoodsfor constantly fitting me around his work and being by my side, loving knowing I’ve found the man that has surprisingly ticked every box I could only dream of a man to be like and knowing I’m spending the rest of my life with him.’
Update: Katie has been keeping her followers updated with her injury and subsequent surgery
It was previously reported Katie had been warned by doctors she ‘must take her recovery seriously or she could risk losing a leg’.
A source told The Sun: ‘Katie’s doctors have warned her she must take her recovery seriously and it’s left her terrified.
‘She’s prone to getting infections after operations, and her surgeon says she could lose a leg if her feet get infected.
‘She’ll have to be so, so careful – she’ll have medical professionals on call 24/7 – and change the dressings regularly. She’s got a long road ahead of her.’
The setback is the latest in a string of personal woes for Katie.
Before she headed off to Turkey her eldest son Harvey, 18, was taken into intensive care due to a high temperature and breathing difficulties. He has since been discharged and made a full recovery.
She also came under fire after her new puppy Rolo she bought for her daughter Princess’ 13th birthday died just weeks later after getting stuck in an armchair.
