Katie Price shared a devastating post from Women’s Aid about domestic abuse for World Suicide Prevention Day after opening up on her own heartbreaking experiences in the past
Media personality Katie Price took to her Instagram to share a devastating post about domestic abuse after she had been open about her own struggles in the past. Katie shared the post from Women’s Aid on her Instagram stories for World Suicide Prevention Day.
The post included the caption: “Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay and we wanted to recognise the hidden epidemic of violence against women that is only just starting to be recognised. Statistic: NPCC report from the Home Office.” The image also stated: “Did you know? That more survivors of domestic abuse died by suicide last year than were murdered by their partner”.
Katie, who is known for having a rocky love life, previously opened up on the abuse she suffered in past relationships. The former glamour model, 46, is now happily loved up with Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater, but it wasn’t always that way.

In a candid confession on Paul C. Brunson’s podcast, We Need To Talk, Katie reflected on her romantic relationships and how she was treated. “There was domestic abuse, gaslighting, narcissists and that’s all I was used to,” she shared.
Opening up on the impact it had on her life, she said: “When you are in them kinds of relationships and they isolate you, even from your family. If you want to see your family, they have to be there, won’t let you see your friends, put you down or ‘how long are you going to be’ and ‘where are you’.”
While on Paul C Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast, he asked Katie if there was a relationship moment that she’s not yet unpacked in therapy. She replied: “Being strangled, spat on, my computer being completely smashed, holes being punched in the wall, the name calling, things like that.”
Katie was asked if she ever feared for her life, as she explained: “Yes, but I couldn’t leave because [the partners say] ‘I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’ll never do it again. I love you, and it’s always ‘you will never find anyone as good as me.
This follows after Katie has been showing off a worryingly slender appearance over recent months and she now fears her cancer may have returned.
The media personality had been diagnosed with a rare form of soft tissue cancer which was on her finger, called leiomyosarcoma. But after having it removed while being closely monitored by medical professionals over a period of six years, Katie was given the all clear.
However, over recent weeks, the TV personality has now expressed fears her cancer may have returned. Katie revealed she was getting it looked into before she said: “This better not be my bad news, and get bad results, because all this is happening, and then normally in my life something good happens and then something bad happens. Let’s hope it’s nothing bad.”
