KATIE Price is back to having natural breasts 16 years since she started having surgery, it is claimed.

The Brighton-born glamour model, who shot to fame in 1998, has become known for the number of breast implants and enhancements she has had over the years.

But she is said to have needed emergency surgery to remove infected implants after her triumph in the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this month.

The operation took place in Belgium soon after the 36-year-old ex-Patcham High student won the reality television show, according to a national newspaper.

It is reportedly the reason why she covered up at a charity fashion show last week and at her vow renewal to husband Kieran Hayler on Saturday in Clapham, near Worthing. Friends have claimed the ordeal has been painful and traumatic.

Fellow Big Brother contestant and television personality Katie Hopkins claimed Ms Price, formerly known as Jordan, was taking large amounts of antibiotics and was visited by a surgeon in the house three times.

Ms Price is thought to have opted for boob jobs to increase and reduce her breast size to 32C in 1998, 32D in 1999, 32DD in 2000, 32F in 2007, 32C in 2008 and 32F in 2012.
