Katie Price makes her FIRST red carpet appearance since latest surgery at National Diversity Awards

Katie Price confidently hit the red carpet at the National Diversity Awards at the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool on Friday in what was her first public appearance since flying to Belgium to get an eye and brow lift. 

The former glamour model, 43, looked a far cry from her bruised self from earlier on in the day as she wore a full face of makeup complete with a wash of foundation and fluttery eyelashes.

Having cut off her chin bandage, Katie still sported white dressing around her head as she joined fiancé Carl Woods, 32, and son Harvey, 19, at the event.  

Katie’s blonde tresses, partially hidden by the bandages, were styled poker straight and left to tumble over her shoulders. She wore an all-black ensemble, made up of a black shirt and leather trousers that clung to her legs.

The mother-of-five added a pair of heeled black boots and a smart blazer for the black tie event, and attempted to jazz up her bandages with a sparkly black ribbon.

Katie was on hand at the awards ceremony to support son Harvey who has been nominated for the Celebrity of the Year gong.

She made the confession during an Instagram Live while travelling to the awards. 

Having covered her two black eyes with a heavy helping of concealer, she prepared to hit the red carpet in Liverpool despite her head being tightly bound with medical dressings.

She admitted in the video: ‘Oh my god, I had to cut that chin strap off. It was driving me nuts! So we’re off to the awards, we are a little bit late.

‘I’m so hot in the back here. Ah, it’s so itchy here. I’m really hot in this, I can’t even take it off. I have covered the bruises up well.

‘I’m only doing this for you Harv. Really I should be resting. Look at me! I should be resting,’ before he replied, ‘Oh for goodness sake.’

When a fan commented, ‘You’ll fit right in Liverpool with that headband,’ the reality star shouted, ‘Oh shut up Marcello!’ before getting Harvey to repeat her.

Katie continued: ‘We’re gonna walk through, it’s probably gonna be speeches time. The thing is, Harvey normally goes to bed at half-six, seven and the awards don’t start until half nine.

‘He’s not gonna like the three course meal, so I’ve just had to give him pizza, no pasta, so I’ve got to try and keep him entertained until it’s award time.’
