Katie Price is no stranger to making headlines, and this time, it’s for her latest role in the Easter Panto tour of Pinocchio.
The 46-year-old model, who has undergone a dramatic transformation recently, is now bringing magic to the stage as the Fairy in the popular production.
Despite facing a tough time, Katie has found support from her close friend Kerry Katona, who has been by her side through thick and thin.
Behind the Scenes of the Panto Tour
Katie shared an update from backstage, where she looked every bit the part of a fairy in a stunning blue, sequinned dress.
With dramatic puffed sleeves and a sparkling tiara, she posed for a selfie on Instagram, showing off her new look.
The post was met with excitement from fans who were amazed by her appearance, with some even commenting that she was “unrecognizable” due to her transformation.
Katie took to social media to express her excitement about the ongoing tour, sharing details about their next stops. “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, hinting at the fun performances ahead.
The Ongoing Transformation and Support from Kerry Katona
Katie’s transformation isn’t just physical. Over the years, the model has undergone numerous surgeries, including 16 breast procedures, three Brazilian bum lifts, rhinoplasty, and six facelifts.
Her drastic changes have sparked concerns among some of her fans, particularly as her weight loss has raised more than a few eyebrows.
Many have expressed their worries on social media, urging Katie to seek help, given how quickly her appearance has evolved.
In this challenging time, Katie has turned to her long-time friend Kerry Katona for support.
The pair have been friends for over two decades, ever since they met on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004.
Despite their very different lives, the two have always managed to remain close, offering each other comfort through the ups and downs.
A Strong Friendship and New Adventures Together
Katie and Kerry have worked together on various projects over the years, including playing the wicked stepsisters in Cinderella at Northwich Memorial Court in Cheshire.
Their bond has only deepened, with Kerry reportedly being there for Katie when she faced a difficult Mother’s Day, as Katie couldn’t spend time with her kids due to work commitments.
In fact, the two are gearing up for a new adventure together.
They’re preparing for their An Evening with Katie and Kerry – On Tour, which will take them across 38 venues in the UK.
The tour will feature personal stories about their friendship, marriages, divorces, bankruptcy, and the constant media attention they’ve endured.
There will also be music, dancing, and interactive moments with the audience.
The Long Journey of Friendship and Reconciliation
The friendship between Katie and Kerry has been anything but smooth.
They have weathered a series of public feuds, including a fallout in 2007 when Katie accused Kerry of drug abuse and called her husband Mark Croft a “bully.”
Despite their differences, the two reconciled, though tensions flared again in 2008 when Kerry commented on allegations about Katie’s parenting.
Following Katie’s high-profile split from Peter Andre in 2009, Kerry briefly got closer to him, sparking more conflict.
However, after Kerry’s own marriage to Mark ended in 2011, she and Katie buried the hatchet once again.
Their friendship became stronger as they shared their struggles, with Katie even serving as Kerry’s bridesmaid at her 2014 wedding to George Kay, though she had to back out at the last minute due to post-pregnancy body changes.
Despite the ups and downs, Katie and Kerry’s bond has remained intact, proving that true friendships can withstand even the toughest challenges.
With their upcoming tour on the horizon, it seems these two are ready to show the world just how strong their connection truly is.
