Katie Price has claimed she was stopped at passport control in an airport because security staff didn’t recognise her face. Speaking to her sister, Sophie Price, in a recent episode of The Katie Price Show, the former glamour model (previously known as Jordan) recounted a “funny” incident while queuing at airport security.
Katie explained that she’d been queuing at passport control when she noticed that airport officials “kept looking” at her. This experience made her feel “awkward,” and she described it as something that ultimately makes you “more twitchy.” Airport staff asked Katie to follow them to what she described as a “visa place”, where she was instructed to sit on a chair.
Katie, believing she’d “done nothing wrong”, obliged the officials, sat down to wait, and started watching “horse videos”. She was apparently unfazed by the change of scene, admitting that she didn’t mind sitting there.
She had an hour and a half to wait for her flight, so it was preferable to walking around the airport and enduring “anxiety that people are looking.”
She said: “And then the man come back. I dunno what they do to check your passport, whether they Google your name or whatever, but then the police guy came back with a big grin on his face – was like, ‘Hi’.

Katie continued: “I said, ‘I don’t look like my passport picture because I’ve had my face done so many times. I look different. Yeah, and they went, ‘No, no. You’re all fine. You’re all fine.
“I went, ‘Do you think I need to change my passport for a new one and a new picture? I said, ‘Because this happens all the time’, because my passport picture is so old, I don’t look like it.”
Sophie quipped: “Well, it depends if you’re going to keep changing your face.” Katie added that she also encounters problems with the electronic passport checks, which she says often say “seek assistance” as they “obviously” don’t “recognise” her photo.
Katie, who described this type of experience as a “b******e”, also revealed that in Dubai, she’d told them that she viewed it as a “compliment”, as when you “look” at her age, she doesn’t “really look like that”.

In a recent photos taken in Dubai, Katie shows off her slim figure and fuller bottom in a bikini while on a yacht. Having experienced complications from a previous Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), Katie pledged this year not to have the procedure again.
However, Katie has reportedly changed her mind and opted for more filler in the area this summer. She opened up about the issues she faced with one of these procedures on the Katherine Ryan: Telling Everybody Everything podcast.
She said: : “I tried that BBL abroad where they take your own fat and put it in your bum. It was so painful. And it just did not look right on me.”
