Katie Price reveals secret medical emergency on Loose Women

She was left crying in agony after allergic reaction

Katie Price was back on Loose Women on Thursday to show off her shiny new veneers after jetting to Turkey for dental surgery.

Sporting a VERY white new set of gnashers, the former glamour model was clearly thrilled with her new million mega-watt smile.

However, it turns out it was a painful and worrying road to teeth perfection for Pricey.

Katie told the panel she’d actually been due back on Loose Women last week but a secret medical emergency saw her holed up at home in agony instead.

She said she’d flown to Turkey to get her veneers replaced but had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics she was given because they contained penicillin.

Explaining what happened, she said: “I was due home so they gave me all the antibiotics and everything, but on the way home I felt really ill.”

Katie added: “I realised I hadn’t read the box and I’m allergic to penicillin.

“I was really ill for days after that.”

Katie, 39, managed to make it back to work this week for an interview with Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain, but admitted she was in pain throughout.

“I was literally crying, saying I couldn’t go air,” she said.

The mum of five insisted her dental veneers had been necessary, as she cracked her front teeth as a child while skateboarding.

Katie said: “Basically when I was younger I fell off a skateboard. I know I have all these cosmetic procedures and stuff, but this is the only cosmetic procedure I do actually need!

“I cracked all my front teeth and have had crowns and veneers ever since.

“My veneers were ten years old so I needed new ones.

“I was going back and forth from Turkey to do them, because I think they’re more advanced there and do it better. I always do my research.”

The jury’s still out on Katie’s new look, however, with co-star Andrea McLean cheekily quipping: “Rylan called, he wants his teeth back!”

Ooh, naughty!

Some viewers echoed that, with one tweeting: “Not to be horrible, it looks like Rylan and Katie share teeth.”

Another said: “Is Katie Price Rylan in disguise? You never see them together but they got the same teeth.”

Intriguing…
