Bandaged Katie Price makes surgery confession as she gushes about Harvey in awards speech

Katie Price addressed her recent plastic surgery as she appeared at the Diversity Awards last night.

The 43-year-old - who attended the event with a bandaged head head - graced the red carpet alongside her eldest son Harvey and fiance Carl Woods at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral.

Former glamour model Katie appeared at the event to give out an award and support her son Harvey, who won a gong for celebrity of the year.

Addressing the audience at the cathedral, Katie immediately referenced the white cap on her head.

She said: "Hi everyone, good evening. By the way, I know I look like this but I couldn't let my son down because it's a special occasion tonight because my son's up for an award.

"I wouldn't normally come out after surgery, but you know, I can't let him down. It is a privilege to be presenting the disability role model award because it is such a special occasion."

It comes after Katie was pictured looking incredibly bruised after going under the knife again, in which her head was wrapped in bandages and accompanied by a chin strap.

It's reported that she treated herself to an eye and brow lift and is believed to have travelled abroad to Belgium for her latest procedures.

Ahead of the event, Katie took to her Instagram Live in the taxi as she revealed that she had removed the chin strap as it had been irritating her.

She quipped: "I have covered up the bruises well!"

In recent days, Katie was pictured outside of her rented Surrey home following the surgery.

She put on a brave face as she was photographed with tender-looking bruising to her face.

Giving her take on the late on the latest photos of the glamour model, body language expert Judi James called Katie 'nothing if not brave' as she said the star looked as though she'd been in a 'terrible accident' after her latest rounds of surgery.

"Whether you’re a fan of Katie’s or not these most recent photos are shocking," said Judi.

"Not just because of the bruises, swelling and scars to a face that had been prettier than most in its natural, untouched state, but because of the bandages around her head and chin are making her look like the victim of some terrible accident.

"Her body, her choice and I’m sure Katie will tell anyone who is critical, even if that criticism is based on care and concern, to ‘Mind their beeswax’.

"Self-pity is not a feature of Katie’s body language but defiance is. And it’s a sense of defiance and resilience that is still being displayed by her here as she arrives home but still takes time to pose for the cameras like the trooper she is.

"Katie is nothing if not brave."
