Katie Price piles on a few pounds

The British star has been scoffing too many calorific treats over recent months and, as a result, has put on 7lb even though she is still getting regular exercise.

In an interview in the new issue of heat magazine, the mother-of-three said: “I’ve put on seven pounds. But it’s no wonder, as I eat a big curry at least once a week – normally when watching ‘The X Factor’ on a Saturday night. I ride every morning, so I know I’m getting exercise, but I haven’t been eating well. Normally I’m quite healthy the rest of the week, but lately I’ve been eating McDonald’s with the kids, too.”

Katie – who is married to cage-fighter Alex Reid – is determined to lose the extra weight as she doesn’t like to be unhealthy.

She said: “I’m not happy at this weight. I want to lose it. We’re never happy with how we look, though, are we?”

While she has gained weight over recent months and is keen to lose it, Katie, 32, is currently putting all her efforts into her beloved horses as well as her new home.

She said: “I love my horses and I’m getting another one. I can’t wait. I’m also waiting to move into my new home. I’m still decorating right now in different shades of pink.”
