Katie Price is embracing a new chapter in her career, stepping into the world of panto with a starring role in Pinocchio.
The 46-year-old model has been getting support from her close friend Kerry Katona during a challenging period in her life.
Recently, Katie took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her latest transformation while backstage at the show.
In her post, she flaunted a stunning blue sequined dress, complete with puffed sleeves and a tiara, embodying her role as the Fairy in the production.
A New Chapter and Exciting Shows Ahead
Katie’s new appearance has caught the attention of many, with some even saying she’s “no longer recognisable” due to her transformation.
But Katie seems unfazed, expressing her excitement about the panto tour. “Excited for the Pinocchio Panto Show today in Sevenoaks.
Tomorrow we’re in Clacton and Monday in Northampton – see you all soon. Enjoy the show!” she wrote on Instagram.
As her schedule continues with stops across the UK, fans are eager to see her perform in this new light.
A Long History of Change and Challenges
Throughout her career, Katie has undergone numerous transformations, both physically and emotionally.
Having had 16 boob jobs, three Brazilian bum lifts, rhinoplasty, and multiple facelifts, her appearance has been a topic of public discussion for years. Recently, fans have raised concerns over her dramatic weight loss, urging her to “get help.”
Despite the worries, Katie’s bond with Kerry remains strong as the pair support one another during tough times.
Kerry Katona: A Shoulder to Lean On
Katie’s tough times have been made a little easier thanks to Kerry Katona, who has been there for her every step of the way.
Their friendship dates back over 20 years, ever since they met on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004.
The two women have weathered their fair share of ups and downs, but their connection has always remained unbreakable.
Recently, a source revealed that they are growing closer, finding comfort in each other’s shared experiences of hardship.
“Katie didn’t have the best Mother’s Day this year,” the source shared.
“She was working and didn’t get to see her kids, which was tough for her.”
Although Katie’s eldest children are now adults with independent lives, she still values the time spent with them and often joins them in family activities.
Upcoming Tell-All Tour: “An Evening with Katie and Kerry – On Tour”
In addition to their personal lives, Katie and Kerry are gearing up for an exciting new venture together.
The two icons from the noughties are hitting the road for a tell-all tour, where they’ll share stories from their past, including their marriages, divorces, bankruptcy, and life in the spotlight.
Fans can expect a mix of heartwarming tales, music, dancing, and audience questions during their shows.
The tour will kick off on September 11 in Ellesmere Port and will continue across 38 venues until it concludes in Hull on October 22.
Kerry posted a series of sweet selfies with Katie on Instagram, calling her “my girl” and showing the deep bond the two still share.
A Rollercoaster Friendship
Kerry and Katie’s friendship hasn’t been without its challenges.
Their relationship has had its share of public feuds, including a famous fallout in 2007 when Katie called Kerry a “druggie.”
However, the two women eventually made amends, only to see their friendship tested again in 2008 over a comment Kerry made about Katie’s parenting.
Despite these ups and downs, they have always found their way back to each other, showing that their bond is truly one of resilience.
Throughout the years, their friendship has only grown stronger, and even after Kerry’s marriage to Mark Croft ended amid allegations of infidelity and financial struggles, she and Katie remained close.
Kerry invited Katie to be a bridesmaid at her wedding to George Kay in 2014, although Katie had to pull out last minute.
Despite that, their relationship continues to thrive, as evidenced by their frequent social media posts together and appearances on Loose Women, where they’ve often spoken about their “true friendship.”
The dynamic duo’s upcoming tour is a testament to how far they’ve come, from their rocky past to their current status as lifelong friends, ready to share their stories with fans across the UK.
