‘Are you ok?’ beg Katie Price fans as star poses in a bikini in Ibiza and parties with Wayne Lineker
KATIE Price has left fans concerned after sharing a new bikini snap from her wild holiday to Ibiza.
The 46-year-old took to Instagram to post the photo, showing her posing in a pink halterneck bikini top and sunglasses.
She showed off her tiny frame and surgically enhanced breasts – and fans rushed to comment, sharing concerns over former glamour model Katie’s weight loss.
One wrote: “Soo soo sad to see Katie like this.. I hope she goes and gets the help she needs.”
Another said: “Oh sweetheart, you seem so unwell. Wish you’d seek help.”
And a third added: “Why isn’t someone providing support to Katie .. this is so sad to see.”
During her time in Ibiza, Katie has been partying with Wayne Lineker at his O Beach club.
She and the former Celebs Go Dating star, 63, posed for a cosy-looking snap as they soaked up the sun in San Antonio.
Earlier this year mum-of-five Katie was forced to shut down claims she was using Ozempic to lose weight.
She later insisted: “I’m healthy and I do eat.”
Katie added: “Yes I’ve lost weight.
“Yes that what I’ve wanted to do, I’ve wanted to lose weight.
“Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I’d never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair.
“And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight.
“So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn’t me.”

Heartbreaking moment battered & bandaged Brit survivor of Air India disaster carries tragic brother’s coffin at funeral
THIS is the heartbreaking moment the miracle Brit lone survivor of the Air India crash carries his brother’s coffin at the funeral.
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, staggered away from the plane just before it exploded, whilst all other 241 passengers – including his brother Ajay – were killed.
The battered Brit had plasters on his face and walked with a limp as he held the casket at the ceremony in Gujarat, the state where the crash happened.
Footage shows Vishwash walking solemnly at the rear of the coffin with visible cuts and bruises, surrounded by other pallbearers.
There is a constant commotion around the procession, but Vishwash appears lost in his own thoughts.
The tragic procession made its way through the streets less than a week after the plane came down.
Vishwash has been in hospital for most of that time recovering from his ordeal – and was even visited by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sitting 11A – a window seat by an emergency exit – he was flung from the Boeing 787 when it smashed down shortly after takeoff.

I gave my garden instant privacy with a B&Q buy – it was easy to attach, will last in winter & looks super realistic
WITH summer well and truly here, many people are outside updating their gardens.
And it seems avid gardeners have found the perfect buy to give gardens a quick update and add some extra privacy to their space.
B&Q is selling a garden must-have to give you some peace and quiet while adding some extra greenery.
The Decorative Artificial Ivy Leaf Green Hedge Roll has been a hit with customers and can easily be attached to an existing fence or balcony.
Thankfully, it comes at a bargain price with a 3m x 1m roll costing just £22.99.
The fencing panel is made up of hundreds of fake ivy leaves in a deep green colour and decorates the garden, just as well as giving you privacy.
The Artificial Fence Panel is also super easy to install.
The snap hook backings can fit many different areas and are flexible, which makes mounting easier by providing a way to install on an area with Zip Ties or Nails.
It’s also perfect to create privacy with the leaves positioned on the snap hook backing to create a full look, while the snap hook backing also acts as a second layer of privacy with a beautiful leaf design.
The B&Q item also comes with a two-year guarantee and has UV protection to stop the colour of the leaves from fading in the sun.
While it can’t be purchased in stores, it can be ordered online and arrive on your doorstep within 1 – 4 working days.
Customers were quick to praise the fence screen in the reviews with many sharing images of it in their gardens.
Many praised just how expensive it looked, while others said it was sturdy enough to last through any season.
One person wrote: “I put this on my garden fence for privacy. My son said he thought it would look tacky but actually it looks really good and makes a big difference to the whole garden and very easy to attach using cables.”
Another commented: “Great product, good coverage with leaves that are fairly realistic looking. Bought 3 and very good as they can clip together and in different shapes, so good dimensions. The plastic looks sturdy enough and hopefully it will last.
“Bought these for my mum’s back garden fence. They are fantastic. Really great service from the company too,” penned a third.
How to create privacy in your garden
CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:
1. Fencing
- Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.
2. Hedges and Plants
- Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.
3. Outdoor Curtains
- Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.
4. Sound Barriers
- A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I have bought 2 of these trellises to cover my garden drive gate & fence for privacy. The quality is fantastic and fits my fences perfectly & so cheap considering the amount you get on the roll. Definitely would buy again.”
Someone else added: “I purchased 2 of these rolls to extend the height of a wall. The units have an interlocking system that makes joining the two together a breeze.
“Some of these artificial plants can look pretty poor, even though they do the job of screening. This is not the case with this product as it looks good close up and great at a distance.”
Meet the MOP… the 15-ton mega bunker buster bomb Trump will use to blow up Iran’s ‘Mount Doom’ nuke site if US joins war
A FEARSOME 15-ton mega bomb could soon be dropped to destroy Iran’s most secure underground nuke facility as the US prepares to join the war.
Donald Trump is all but poised to join Israel’s campaign of bombing Iran as they both seek to obliterate Tehran’s nuclear program.
His statements yesterday and America’s military movements give us the clearest sign the US is preparing to get involved in the Middle East.
Israel said its airstrikes on Iran will not stop until it destroys Iran’s capability of enriching uranium to weapon-grade and making a nuclear weapon.
The Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant – 125 miles south of capital Tehran – is encased in steel more than 300 feet beneath solid rock and has so far escaped serious damage.
Israel’s arsenal lacks huge bunker buster bombs needed to destroy the underground enrichment facility.
Only America currently has the fearsome GBU-57 bombs capable of blitzing Fordow.
It’s a Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bomb that can penetrate deep inside the ground before blowing up.
The 15-tonne 20-foot monster bomb then explodes to obliterate enemy targets that are often hidden beneath mountains and massive layers of rocks.
Its 30,000lb weight means that its sheer kinetic force enables it to reach deeply buried targets – almost 200ft beneath the surface.
It also means only the B-2 strategic bombers currently in the US fleet are capable of dropping them.
Multiple strikes would still be needed to reach the fortified underground laboratories of Fordow, packed with centrifuge technology at the heart of Iran’s Doomsday programme.
Defence Analyst Paul Beaver told The Sun: “Israel will need literally to move a mountain to hit the plant.
“It’s protected by at least 90 metres of solid rock and has so far escaped serious damage.
“Options are to repeatedly bomb it for weeks until a breakthrough is achieved or a frontline is hit.”
Israel needs the US help to bomb Fordow, which is protected by troops and banks of Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missile batteries.
President Trump is understood to have offered the crucial strike option in a conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before Rising Lion was launched.
And as Washington prepares to join the war against Iran, a B-2 bomber strike using the GBU-57 is more likely than ever.
Bunker buster air strikes have hammered key uranium enrichment and conversion sites in Natanz and Isfahan, atomic energy watchdogs have confirmed.
Israeli officials admitted that Operation Rising Lion will not succeed unless the heavily fortified plant is taken out.
Will Trump strike Iran?
By Sayan Bose, Foreign News Reporter
DONALD Trump is all but poised to join Israel’s campaign of bombing Iran as they both seek to obliterate Tehran’s nuclear program.
It comes as Tel Aviv has been carrying out air strikes targeting various nuclear and military facilities in Tehran and other parts of Iran.
The goal, as they say, is to thwart the Iranian regime’s efforts to produce nuclear weapons.
The Trump administration previously said it had no plans to join the conflict.
However, winds in Washington began blowing the other way after Trump cut short his G7 visit in Canada and said he needed to focus on the Middle East.
And has repeatedly insisted it was not to pursue peace talks with Iran “in any way, shape or form” – a stark shift in his previous policy of striking up a nuclear deal.
Don also went on to share a slew of posts on Truth Social suggesting he may be considering strikes against Iran.
He wrote: “Our patience is wearing thin,” before calling out Tehran for an unconditional surrender.
Trump also called for an emergency situation room meeting yesterday with his top Washington aides, though details of those meetings have not yet been revealed.
But Trump’s statements, coupled with America’s military movements, suggest the US forces may soon strike Iran.
As Trump rushed back meet his National Security Council, he vowed he was chasing something “better than a ceasefire”, which will force Iran into a “complete give up”.
He refused to specify the endgame, but ominously warned: “You’re going to find out over the next two days.”
A spokesman for the Iranian foreign ministry said that a US intervention in the Middle East would be “a recipe for all-out war in the region.
Meanwhile, the US military is deploying more fighter aircraft to the Middle East and extending the deployment of other warplanes as the war between Israel and Iran rages.
The Pentagon scrambled at least a dozen F-22 and F-35 fighter bombers to reinforce troops in Europe and the Middle East.
Experts said the F-22s and F-35s would most likely be used to bolster Israel’s air defence amid fears Tel Aviv could run low on its Iron Dome and interceptor missiles – the Arrow and THAAD.
At least 30 large air-to-air refuellers swooped across the Atlantic this week followed by at least a dozen F-22 Raptors and F-35 Lightning jets.
The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier is also steaming towards the Gulf to reinforce the carrier USS Carl Vinson.
The hulking $4.5billion nuclear-powered supercarrier, nicknamed Old Salt, is the flagship of the deadly Carrier Strike Group 11.
The strike group includes Carrier Air Wing Seventeen and Destroyer Squadron Nine – a potent combination of military hardware that will strike fear into Iran.
Dozens of USAF KC-135 Stratotanker refuelers and KC-46 Pegagus tankers swooped into bases in Prestwick, Scotland, Ramstein, Germany, Moron in Spain and Chania in Crete.
The KC-135s and KC-46s are designed to refuel fighter jets so they can stay airborne for longer and fly further to hit targets.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said he had ordered “the deployment of additional capabilities” to the Middle East amid spiralling fears of World War Three.
But he insisted their role was “defensive”.
Trump has also given a two-day deadline for a “REAL end” to Iran’s nuclear programme.
The US President has already warned the “full strength and might” of the military would be used if America was attacked.
He has also urged Tehran to evacuate “everyone”.
Israel’s ambassador also hinted at something big on the horizon – promising lethal “surprises” on Thursday that would dwarf its operations to date.
As Trump rushed back to meet his National Security Council, he vowed he was chasing something “better than a ceasefire”, which will force Iran into a “complete give up”.
He refused to specify the endgame, but ominously warned: “You’re going to find out over the next two days.”
