Katie Price sparked mystery on Thursday as she shared a video seemingly showing her wearing her stolen £50,000 engagement ring from Carl Woods, 32.
Last month, the glamour model, 43, was allegedly assaulted in an ‘unprovoked 1.30am attack’ which left her battered and bruised at an Essex home, after which it was reported that her custom-made, seven-carat ring was taken.
Her latest video, taken during her trip to Turkey where she is having hair extensions fitted, caused confusion as she was seen wearing what appeared to be an identical piece of jewellery, although she may have had a replica made.

Last month, a man, 32, was released on bail after he was arrested for assault and coercive control. Katie was taken to hospital after the alleged assault at a home where she was staying while her home is reportedly being renovated.
Katie said she was attacked as she watched TV – forcing her to flee in terror to her son Harvey’s nearby home. Pictures show the mother-of-five with bruises on her face and cuts on her lips.
She said: ‘I’ve got a big bruise, my face is all puffy, and I went to hospital. I’m still all dazed. I’m devastated. I ran away after being punched — I ran to Harvey’s house nearby and have now done damage to my feet, which I previously injured.’
She said the alleged assault was ‘unprovoked’, adding: ‘I was just sitting there watching telly when the assault happened.’

A day later The Sun added: ‘Katie was desperate to get her extensions redone and there’s only one man she trusts with her hair.’
On Wednesday Katie insisted she never called the police on Carl.
Amid whispers about who was the perpetrator and Carl’s denial over involvement, Katie took to Instagram to write: ‘FACT, I’ve ALWAYS said DON’T believe everything you read in the media and what Carl is saying is true.
‘FACT I’ve NEVER called the police on Carl my police investigation I’m currently going through to a incident a few weeks ago is not to do with Carl.’

In her comment under Carl’s video, Katie went on: ‘This man’s mental health is so low and easy to say suicidal. Someone played what they thought was a clever game and involved media with inaccurate information’.
Former Love Island contestant Carl had previously posted a statement on Instagram refuting all allegations that he was the perpetrator, and now he has taken to his Instagram Stories to reveal the toll the situation has taken on his mental health.
He said: ‘I’ve not been on Instagram for a long, long time. Let me tell you this past month has been one of the roughest of my life.’
The reality star went on to reveal how the backlash and accusations were so severe, he was forced to take drastic action and go into hiding.
