'Princess will pick up on it' Fans share concerns for Katie Price over latest Instagram snap

Katie Price has shocked fans with a recent snap of her slim figure on Instagram.

The mum-of-five has been through a lot recently with her mum Amy's health battle, heartbreak over husband Kieran's infidelities and worry over threats against son Harvey.

And now followers have noticed a difference in the 'thin' former glamour model, with many begging her to 'get help for the sake of her kids'.

The 39-year-old posted a three-way split image of herself showing off her long dark locks, with low slung jogging bottoms and a revealing belly top.

Sharing the snap with her 1.7million followers, the new brunette captioned it with: 'Love my new 24 inch hair by @katiegannonlalinks @lastudio1'.

Since it was shared, the image has garnered 17.7k likes and over 750 comments - but a number of fans were quick to comment on their concern for the TV personality.

This fan commented directly to the star: 'Katie, you've had a lot to put up with recently and I'm not gonna join the trolls slagging you off .for the sake of your kids, get help cause I'm convinced your really insecure about your looks to ruin yourself the way you seem to be.'

'Oh sweet jesus, what the actual f@@@, poor kids be mortified,' said another follower.

A third fan implored Katie: 'Have your kids seen this? What do they think of this? Time to teach them to use their brains not their bodies to make a life for themselves.'

Another fan focused on the impact on Katie's daughters specifically, saying: 'So thin katie, i know you have a lot to deal with in your personal life but hey you need to look after yourself and start eating. Princess will pick up on it and will think its ok to look emaciated. Put some weight back on. Xx'

'Tbh katie u think u hate urself more then the haters do,' one wrote. 'U have evrything fake about u that it’s no example to lead to ur kids.'

'Oh dear.. not a good role model for your daughter,' blasted another fan.

However, despite the criticism, there were several who defended the star: 'Haters will be haters. She's an amazing mum and a Savy businesswoman. If you don't like her posts don't follow her,' posted one.

A second commenter added: 'It's her body she'll do what she wants. I don't think she will really take note of people telling her to stop with surgery etc'

'She's so loving, a fantastic mother and business women. These people must have a case of the green eyed monster!' another declared.
