Katie has drastically lost weight over the past 12 months amid ongoing fears for her frail frame.
And now the former glamour model revealed that she’s been in hospital due to the worrying weight loss.
Katie opened up to fans on Snapchat this weekend, saying: “I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods and because my veins are so s*** they had three attempts.
“They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks.
“And I’ve got to have my stitches out then because they looked at my little stab wound that I did.
“The reason I’m going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight and I don’t know why. So that’s that.”
As well as the weight loss, Katie attended A&E recently for another health problem as she accidentally stabbed herself in the hand.
The former Mucky Mansion star attempted to make curry before she ended up in A&E.
The former Eurovision Song Contest hopeful needed stitches and said the deep cut had left half of her left hand numb.
She revealed the injury ripped through her ligaments and nerves, causing potential damage.
She revealed: “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”.
This comes after the former I’m a Celebrity campmate sparked concern when she told her followers that she spent a night in A&E.
She took to Snapchat to share with her fans that she’d been to hospital, but Katie didn’t reveal why.
The former glamour model posted a photo of the A&E sign at night and wrote: “Not what I had on my Bingo card for Friday night.”
Then in a second snap, the media personality was seen getting her eyebrows laminated, as she shared an additional update.
Katie revealed: “What a day, I didn’t plan on ending up in A&E on a Friday night.”
Katie also recently revealed she is undergoing medical tests after recurring pain in the same finger where she previously had cancer.
The star said her recent symptoms have raised fears the disease could return.
Katie has also been having blood work done and discovered she has a low blood platelet count that could have the ability to cause her weight to drop.
The mum-of-five said: “I’ve had my bloods done, and I’ve got really really low platelets and I thought that was (low) iron, and it’s not.
“And that could be a reason why maybe I’ve got thinner.
“I’m tired, no energy. They [the doctors] said it can affect that and I think you might have to have a blood transfusion to get them [the platelets] back up again.
“So I’ve got to go back and have my bloods done again.”
Katie went on to speak about her previous battle with a very rare form of cancer.
Back in 2002 while she was pregnant with son Harvey, 23, she developed a rare form of soft tissue cancer on her finger, specifically a leiomyosarcoma.
Speaking to her sister Sophie on the latest episode of their podcast, Katie said: “Another thing that’s really weird, you know when I had cancer years ago.
“For some who didn’t know, when I was pregnant with Harvey I got cancer, called leiomyosarcoma.
“If you look at my finger, there is like a hole there and a scar there, I had it cut out twice. Can you see that dent? It never hurt.
“But a lump started coming up and I thought I had been riding and done something to my finger.
“But anyway cut the long story short it was leiomyosarcoma so I had to have MRI scans and all of that for six years until I was clear.”
Katie said over the past few weeks the same finger has been hurting again.
KATIE’S CANCER BATTLE
Kate had a rare soft-tissue cancer when she was 24 years old.
The former glamour model previously revealed the ordeal came came just 11 weeks after she had been told that Harvey was blind and had Prader-Willi Syndrome.
Speaking to Katherine Ryan on her What’s My Name Again? podcast, Katie said: “While I was pregnant with Harvey I got cancer. I didn’t know that until, because they couldn’t do all the scans, after.”
A manicurist initially spotted the lump on Katie’s hand.
Two doctors dismissed it as harmless, but after a biopsy was carried out, Katie was told that the lump was leiomyosarcoma.
