Katie Price reveals gruesome injury while making a curry that left her in A&E

Katie Price was rushed to A&E after accidentally stabbing herself while making dinner.

The former model revealed she cut her left hand while making a chicken curry on Friday night and had to spend five hours in the hospital.

The 47-year-old - who has been feuding with his ex Peter Andre over their daughter Princess - needed stitches after the gruesome injury.

The former I’m A Celebrity star said the deep cut ripped through her ligaments and nerves, causing potential damage, and left half of her left hand numb.

"Last night I accidentally stabbed myself with a knife, you can see on the injury how deep it was, and I had to have stitches,” Price said.

A day earlier, she sparked concern by revealing she’d spent a night in A&E without explaining why.

The former glamour model posted a photo of the A&E sign at night and wrote on Snapchat: “Not what I had on my Bingo card for Friday night."

Sharing a selfie while getting her eyebrows laminated, she added: “What a day, I didn’t plan on ending up in A&E on a Friday night."

Elsewhere, Price has been locked in a feud with her former partner, Mysterious Girl singer Andre, 52, over their 18-year-old daughter Princess.

The mother-of-five did not attend her daughter's birthday party or appear on her new fly-on-the-wall ITV2 reality show, The Princess Diaries.

Last month, Andre accused Price of “baseless lies over the last 16 years”, saying Princess had been “unfairly” pulled into their ongoing row.

It came just hours after Price urged Andre to sit down with her and “hash things out” in a bid to end their long-running dispute for the sake of Princess, as well as son Junior, 20.

Price later admitted she “hasn't always been the best mother” after years of personal battles with mental health issues and addiction.

She posted on Instagram: "I know I will always be seen as a Sinner. That's fair, I allowed myself to fall into a reliance on drugs and alcohol.

“At times, I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness.”

Price went on: "I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, and an untrustworthy partner. I've self-medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love.

"I've had my reasons — I was sexually abused when younger; had relationships that have been coercive; and my mental health issues - but I don't want to make excuses. I've recognised my issues and worked to put them behind me.

"Sometimes | tried and failed, sometimes I succeeded. I've pulled myself out of a suicidal spiral because I love my children and want to be there for them. I don't pretend to be perfect by any means - but I'm trying to be the best I can."

Price and Andre, who divorced in 2009 five years after falling in love on the third series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, are not on speaking terms.

As well as Princess and Junior, the former glamour model has son Harvey, 23, from a previous relationship with former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke, as well as Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11, with influencer Kieran Hayler.
