URGENT HEALTH FEARS 🚨 ‘FRAIL’ Katie Price Sparks Alarm After STUMBLING in Public

Katie Price raised renewed concern on Saturday night after appearing visibly frail and unsteady as she stepped out at a store launch in Hertfordshire, debuting her dramatic weight loss in a pair of see-through lace leggings.

The former glamour model, 47, attended the launch of TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou’s new store, but stayed for just 20 minutes before moving on. Onlookers noted that Katie appeared shaky on her feet, with one source revealing she needed a helping hand from friends to safely make her way down the venue’s steps.

Katie arrived wearing brown lace leggings that left little to the imagination, clearly revealing her underwear beneath. She paired the bold look with a leather racing jacket, strappy sandals and oversized designer sunglasses, partially shielding her eyes as she posed for photographs with friends.

Despite smiling for the cameras, those present noticed that Katie appeared fragile throughout the evening. A source told MailOnline:
“Katie needed a little assistance from friends to help her down the steps before heading to the next part of her night.”

She was seen holding hands with friends for support, draping her arms around them as she paused for pictures outside the venue. At one point, she puckered up for a kiss on the steps, before briefly heading inside.

The appearance comes amid growing concern over Katie’s health, particularly following her recent admission that she has been struggling to quit vaping. Speaking on her podcast earlier this week, Katie vowed to give up the habit after suffering a health scare.

Sharing an image of a lung X-ray, Katie warned her followers of the dangers, writing:
“Vaping has officially been linked to rare and irreversible lung disease.”

She added candidly:
“I saw it [the X-ray]. It’s so bad — the vaping, it’s so bad for people.”

Katie explained that her determination to improve her health has been further influenced by her mother Amy’s battle with terminal Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Amy, 73, underwent a life-saving lung transplant in 2022 after years of illness.

Revealing a heartfelt conversation with her family, Katie said:
“I had a word with mum and Paul and said my New Year’s resolution is to give up vapes. I’m lucky I’ve had my lungs checked and there’s no damage to my lungs.”

However, those close to the mother-of-five are said to remain deeply worried. Friends and family have reportedly expressed concern that her ongoing stress levels are making it difficult for her to quit.

A source previously told The Mirror:
“Katie needs to stop for health reasons and obviously her family members have been very worried. But she’s so stressed and vaping is simply her way of releasing that stress. It’s also very addictive — and we all know Katie has a very addictive personality.”

Her boyfriend of almost two years, former Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, is also said to be concerned but feels powerless to intervene.

Despite pledging to quit, Katie has been spotted vaping on multiple occasions, including on a train last year and during her live tour with close friend Kerry Katona.

Saturday night’s appearance — where she was seen flashing her tattoos and unzipping her jacket to reveal a sheer lace crop top — has only intensified public concern, with many questioning whether the star’s dramatic weight loss and recent admissions signal a deeper struggle behind the scenes.
