At the start of the year, Katie Price checked herself into The Priory after hitting rock bottom following a string of personal woes. But 11 months later, things couldn’t be more different for the mum-of-five.
When we catch up with Katie – before Tier 3 Covid restrictions were imposed in her local area – she’s looking forward to her first Christmas with her man Carl Woods. And not forgetting her children, Harvey, 18, Junior, 15, Princess, 13, Jett, seven, and six-year-old Bunny.
“I’m really excited for Christmas this year,” she tells us when we join her for our exclusive festive family shoot. “I’ve got all the kids and it doesn’t feel like a stress.”
As we chat away, it’s clear to see that Katie is in a happy place – and she credits Carl, 31, for getting her through her tough times.
In fact, things are going so well for the pair that they’re even thinking about babies and marriage. Katie, who has been living with Carl since they met in June, tells us she’s ready to take the next step in their relationship – although Carl is ruling out a Christmas proposal.
Here, the queen of reality, 42, opens up to new about her festive memories, her future with Carl and her fears for eldest son Harvey’s health…
Merry Christmas, guys! How are you feeling about your first Christmas together?
Katie: We can’t wait. The last few Christmases have been really awful for me. But this year I’ve got a new head on my shoulders and I’ve got a fantastic man. It could not be any better.
Why have the past few Christmases been so bad?
