Olivia Attwood, the former Love Island contestant, was taken aback by Katie Price after she disclosed the specifics and expense of her numerous surgical procedures. This follows just a fortnight after her most recent operation. The third series of Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection premiered earlier this week.
Fresh episodes broadcast each Tuesday at 9pm on ITV2, while they are all currently available to watch on ITVX. In the most recent episode, Olivia sought to explore the intersecting realms of cosmetic surgery and fame. Consequently, she spoke to numerous well-known personalities about the subject, reports OK! This includes her radio programme co-host Pete Wicks, Selling Sunset star Breana Tiesi and former model Katie Price.
As she outlined the concept of the programme, Pete joked: “Good to know you make an effort for filming but turn up every Sunday, looking a mess.”
As she questioned whether he would undergo any treatments himself, he asked: “Tell everyone now what you would change about me. Tell them. Go on, get the list out.”
The 35-year-old suggested: “Your personality! Ok, I think your eyes. I think it does make you look wisdom-full, is that a word? You look like you’ve lived life.”
Later in the programme, Olivia interviewed Katie, who has been in the public eye recently following the broadcast of a documentary about her life. Discussing her operations, she confessed to losing track of how many breast augmentation procedures she’d had but confirmed she was merely 18 when undergoing surgery for the first time.
But she would counsel others to take a different approach as she said: “I don’t think anyone should have anything done until they’re 21.”
She also revealed how her liposuction experience left her legs ‘navy blue’ from bruising and was ‘so painful’. Olivia observed how the technique at the time would have been ‘brutal’.
Soon, the discussion shifted to the expense of the numerous procedures Katie has undertaken, as it emerged she did not fund all of them herself.
Olivia asked: “You have obviously had a lot of free surgery but you also paid for a lot as well. Over the years would you say it’s been like a mix of offered free stuff and paid?”.
The 48-year-old replied: “I’ve probably paid £40,000 in all for surgery.”
The response left Olivia visibly astonished as she followed up with: “In total? Is that it?”.
Katie went on to acknowledge that she no longer informs her family about any cosmetic work she undergoes, revealing she’s heard the same remarks for decades.
She added: “Everyone, everyone for 30 years it’s, ‘Katie you don’t need this, you don’t need that’. But if I want to do it, I’m doing it, that’s just the way it is.”
Though she has modified her strategy somewhat, as she explained: “I do listen to surgeons now. If every surgeon had done what I wanted, I would look more like a freak of nature. I don’t want to look freaky.”
Offering her theory behind the numerous procedures, Katie revealed: “I think there’s a reason why I do it all and I think it is to do with men.”
She concurred with Olivia that as a result of turbulent past relationships, she is seeking some form of self-validation.
Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection airs Tuesdays at 9pm on ITV2 and is streaming on ITVX.
