Katie Price has said she doesn't have any 'real' friends after decades in the spotlight.
The television personality, 44, said she has been left feeling burned after years of "being taken advantage of" by a string of 'fake' pals.
Katie said those close to her "become obsessed with me" and revolve their world around her, which has never felt like a normal friendship.
Speaking ahead of her Channel 4 documentary, Katie Price : Trauma and Me, set to air on Thursday, Katie said: "Most people around me they're either paid to do a job for me, or employ them in some sort of way and that's not really a friendship.
"If I was going to go out somewhere, they wouldn't be able to pay for the places I want to go, so I will say: 'Oh it's alright I'll pay for you'.
"But that's not a real friend either. What I have found through my years is I'm a kind person and I will introduce my friends to other people I know and then I find out behind my back they've been meeting up and they're friends
"People around me become obsessed with me, their world revolves around me. It's just never been normal for me."
Katie said she found when various relationships in her life with men would break down, friends would often take sides.
"It makes you realise who your friends are", she added.
"I just think my kindness affects how people are with me," she said.
"They take advantage of it and I won't let it happen ever again. I have therapy each week, I wished I had it years ago. I would have stopped myself that I have said, reacted to because I felt I had to protect myself."
Katie's documentary, set to air on September 8, follows the star as she looks into her mental health struggles which led her into a downward spiral and the steps she has to take to change her life for the better.
It picks up after the star's horror drink-drive car crash last year, with the opening scenes showing the star getting ready for court.
Katie, who narrowly avoided jail and was instead handed a 16-week suspended sentence and two year driving ban, says she began to struggle with her mental health in the years prior to the crash.
Speaking of her attempt to take her own life, Katie says: "I hit a severe depression a couple of years ago, depression on top of PTSD. I was suicidal, I didn’t want to be here."
Mother-of-five Katie says it was her love for children which gave her a sharp reawakening to confront her troubles head on, and vows to never get into such a dark place again.
