Katie Price says airport passport scanners no longer recognise her after sixth facelift

Katie Price has confessed she has been having issues with airport passport scanners not recognising her following her sixth facelift.

This is not good for the holiday-loving veteran glamour model, 46, who underwent her latest surgery on her face earlier this year in Turkey.

Appearing on the I’m ADHD! No You’re Not podcast, Price explained: “I don’t know what I look like, even the passport machine don’t recognise me at the minute.

“If I look, do you know what, when they put the passport it was done so many years ago.”

She continued: “I’ve had about two facelift things since then and I don’t even look like it.

“And so now, travelling to Turkey, you’ve got all these machines now that you have to and I’m terrible with technology.

“But I’m the one pushing the buttons but I blame the machine it’s not doing what I want it to.”

Price’s decision to go under the knife again raised eyebrows as aside from having been declared bankrupt a few months earlier, she had actually been due in court for a hearing relating to her financial woes.

She is currently battling a £760,000 unpaid tax bill after being declared bankrupt for a second time in March.

The mother-of-five was previously due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court in April but her lawyers claimed she was unable to attend.

A barrister told the judge at the time: "It's quite apparent that the evidence was filed very late and not even filed with the court.

"We are in a very serious situation as a consequence. She may be held in contempt of court, imprisoned, fined or a warrant issued for her arrest."

Despite being warned of the potential consequences, she still opted to jet off abroad for her surgery instead of turning up for the hearing, resulting in Judge Catherine Burton issuing the warrant.

Price was arrested upon her return to the UK and was later taken into custody at a west London police station and bailed hours later.

Meanwhile, she is set to claw back some of the money she owes after signing up to star alongside friend Kerry Katona in panto this December.

The two will play the Wicked Step-sisters in a production of Cinderella Northwich Memorial Court.

Things are looking promising so far, with the theatre’s official Instagram account already reporting record-breaking ticket sales for the production which runs from 8-31 December 2024.

"Since our casting news broke earlier this evening, we have sold the highest number of tickets that we’ve ever sold in a single day during our last 14 years in Northwich!” they penned on social media.
