Katie Price breaks silence on criticism over her dramatic NTAs look

Katie Price has finally broken her silence on criticism she faced over her look at the National Television Awards.

For those unaware, the 31st National Television Awards were held on 8 September 2026 at the O2 Arena, where the 48-year-old English media personality and model was seen wearing dramatic make-up.

Price opted for silver eyeshadow with an elongated black smoky wing, dramatic lashes, dark eyebrows, a sharp contour, and an overlined, glossy nude-brown lip.

Taking into account the criticism over her look on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, she clarified that it was a deliberate choice because she had undergone surgery to have her breasts corrected the day before the event, as well as having some filler put into her face.

She said, “On my face... so as you get older, or lose weight, the side of your temples tend to cave in like they go hollow, like [the] under your eyes [can], so he put some filler in [that area]. And my face, I didn't know would swell up like this and this cheek.”

"So obviously Mitchell did my make-up, I said he can do whatever he wants. He did an amazing job covering all this up. So good, but obviously when you have make-up like this, if you're in the wrong light, it can look proper plastered on, which is sad because a lot of the lighting, they've used the wrong lighting as you would say to cane on my face in the papers,” the Reborn author star explained.

It is pertinent to mention that Katie Price attended the event with her sister, Sophie, which turned out to be a reunion for her as she met her children, Junior and Princess Andre, there.
