Katie Price's months of hell - broken feet, Harvey's hospital dash and house break-ins

If anyone knows what it's like to have one bad thing happen to you after another, it's Katie Price.

The former glamour model, 42, has faced just about any and every unfortunate situation in the space of just a few months - needless to mention all of it in the midst of a pandemic.

Everyone knows that last year Katie was faced with one of the worst years of her life.

The mum-of-five was hit with bankruptcy, a two-year driving ban, weathered a number of break ups while languishing in a 'mucky' mansion.

Not only blowing her reported £45million fortune, Katie splurged the cash on a Frankenstein face lift which left her with grisly scars.

After overcoming a horrific 2019, it seems as though it was just a taster of what 2020 had in store for her.

But if anyone can handle whatever comes her way, it's the Pricey.

We take a look at KP's months of hell, complete with broken feet, Harvey's intensive care dash, botched plastic surgery, an animal cruelty row following the death of her puppy, and break-ins at her house.

Harvey's health scare

Katie's eldest son Harvey was rushed to hospital with a spiked temperature and severe chest pains on July 12.

The 18-year-old was left needing emergency treatment after suffering from breathing difficulties, and was said to be at risk of organ failure.

Medical staff had decided to keep the teenager - who has Prader-Willi Syndrome and partial blindness - in hospital due to his complex condition.

Doting mum Katie tried visiting her son as much as she could as doctors ran tests on Harvey.

It has been devastating for her as she could not stay at her son's hospital bedside because of the strict rules surrounding coronavirus in place.

Katie personally described the urgency of having eight doctors flock around her son to save his life amid his health battle.

She revealed doctors have discovered things about her son while he's been in hospital, although said she wasn't ready to say what the discoveries were.

Although now out of hospital, Harvey is strongly advised not to travel - leaving Katie torn as she jetted off to Turkey without her eldest son.

This was Harvey's second dash to hospital in just a matter of weeks after he also fell ill at Princess' 13th birthday party.

Animal cruelty row

Just when Katie was finally at ease after Harvey was discharged from hospital, yet another horror struck.

Her puppy Rolo - an adorable French Bulldog - died in a tragic accident after he was gifted to Princess on her 13th birthday three weeks before the tragedy.

Katie confirmed that Rolo had suffocated after getting stuck under an armchair, making her have to put out yet another fire in her life.

Sharing the truth about what happened, Katie said the pooch got caught up in the mechanism of the chair.

In a YouTube video, she explained: "It's a bit doom and gloom, I feel we have to do this because me and Princess are getting a lot of stick and I don't understand why."

Sitting alongside her daughter, she added: "At the end of the day, Princess' dog Rolo tragically died and we're absolutely devastated.

"Again, I wasn't even at home when this happened. I actually read it, Pete was messaging me saying 'your dog's dead', I had to read it online and that was a shock. She was so devastated."

Soon after revealing the details of Rolo's death, Katie was slammed by furious animal campaigners.

Fans urged the RSPCA to investigate her after another animal died in her care - which soon saw Katie stuck in the middle of an animal cruelty row.

An RSPCA spokesman said: “This is a very sad situation.

"Due to legal reasons we are unable to discuss if we have received complaints and what action may or may not have been taken.”

Elisa Allen, director of animal rights group PETA, said: “Katie must not be allowed to acquire any more animals. At least three dogs and one horse have died on her watch in the last few years alone.

"Her attitude is costing wonderful animals their lives, so PETA urges her – and anyone else unable to provide animals with appropriate care – to fill their homes with cuddly toys instead.”

The family have suffered a number of tragic losses when it comes to their pets.

In February, Katie's Alsatian Sparkle was killed after being hit by a car.

Her dog Queenie died in similar circumstances, after being run over by a pizza delivery van.

The family also had a pet chameleon named Marvin who died, and one of Katie's horses was killed in a crash too.

House break-ins

Just last week, Katie was alerted of another horror that went on.

It seems like Katie couldn't catch a break after she was forced to call the police following a suspected break in at her Sussex mansion.

The reality star called the cops after at least three men were spotted emerging from her field next to her property. 

They were spotted and seen getting into a Black BMW. 

Katie has since sent someone down to secure the gate to the property.  

She is currently living in a rental property nearby while the £1.3million Sussex pad is renovated. 

Following the terrifying news, Katie warned that the crooks have a "vendetta" against her.

Confronted by Katie's neighbour, the men had claimed they were searching for a toilet - despite a service station being only a minute's drive down the road.

"They would have literally just driven past the services, so it's an excuse that they're looking for a toilet," a concerned Katie told the local police.

"If they were looking for a toilet, they wouldn't be in the middle of my field. They're clearly doing a reccy to see how they can get in."

She's wary given the recent break-ins - but reckons there's more to it than meets the eye.

In fact, she reckons the crooks may have it out for her in particular.

"Three men have been seen going into my field," she said, "They've got no reason to be in my field."

Katie reasoned: "Because I had two break-ins about 10 days ago and they literally destroyed my house to bits...the vendetta against me, it's so personal...it's weird that three people have been found in my field.

"No one needs to be in my field, because you need to go across country to get there."

It was the second incident of its kind in recent weeks, with Katie previously saying her home had been flooded after intruders left raps running upstairs.

Broken feet

Just when she managed to jet away to Turkey following a catastrophic couple of months, yet another horror was awaiting Katie by the Mediterranean Sea.

During her holiday with with new boyfriend Carl Woods, 31, and her children Junior, 15, and Princess, 13, Katie broke both of her feet in a horror accident.

She was rushed to A&E and is now preparing to fly home early after having to undergo emergency surgery, and that she won't be able to walk for up to six months.

Katie later shared a dramatic picture of her broken feet, writing: "Yes it’s true I have broken my ankles and my feet , I have to have both feet operated on and pins put in been told I won’t be able to walk for 3 to 6 months.
"@carljwoods is being amazing looking after me"

It's said she faces months of agony and that doctors have told her she'll need to have pins inserted in her feet and that she won't be able to walk for a minimum of three months.

Recovery from the accident could see her unable to walk for twice as long.

Her injury has forced her to hit the brakes on her planned holiday with Harvey, after she promised to whisk him away following his worrying time in ICU.

Botched plastic surgery

The cherry on top for Katie was when she reportedly underwent a lip filler procedure ahead of her trip to Turkey that she came to regret.

She was left more than unhappy with new fillers after she was offered them for free on Instagram - and had to seek an emergency dissolve.

When contacted by Mirror Online, her rep told us: "Katie wants this to be a precautionary lesson to others considering having fillers to always check to make sure it's for you."

Meanwhile, Katie and hunky Carl are going strong - and even plan to get "his and hers" teeth jobs done.

The pair are planning identical surgery on their chompers so they can display the same dazzling smile.

Let's hope that all for Katie's tragedies this year...
