Katie Price confidently hit the red carpet at the National Diversity Awards at the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool on Friday in what was her first public appearance since flying to Belgium to get an eye and brow lift. 

The former glamour model, 43, looked a far cry from her bruised self from earlier on in the day as she wore a full face of makeup complete with a wash of foundation and fluttery eyelashes.

Having cut off her chin bandage, Katie still sported white dressing around her head as she joined fiancé Carl Woods, 32, and son Harvey, 19, at the event.  

Katie’s blonde tresses, partially hidden by the bandages, were styled poker straight and left to tumble over her shoulders. She wore an all-black ensemble, made up of a black shirt and leather trousers that clung to her legs.

The mother-of-five added a pair of heeled black boots and a smart blazer for the black tie event, and attempted to jazz up her bandages with a sparkly black ribbon.

Katie was on hand at the awards ceremony to support son Harvey who has been nominated for the Celebrity of the Year gong.  

He later won the award, and triumphantly lifted the trophy into the air, while Katie joined him on the stage. 

The teenager looked stylish in a black and grey T-shirt and jogging bottoms set as he posed on the carpet with his famous mother. 

The duo were joined by Carl who rocked a gold patterned Versace black shirt, with dark trousers.

Katie’s appearance at the awards comes just after she revealed she was forced to cut off her chin bandage because it was ‘driving her nuts’.

She made the confession during an Instagram Live while travelling to the awards. 

Having covered her two black eyes with a heavy helping of concealer, she prepared to hit the red carpet in Liverpool despite her head being tightly bound with medical dressings.

She admitted in the video: ‘Oh my god, I had to cut that chin strap off. It was driving me nuts! So we’re off to the awards, we are a little bit late.

‘I’m so hot in the back here. Ah, it’s so itchy here. I’m really hot in this, I can’t even take it off. I have covered the bruises up well.

‘I’m only doing this for you Harv. Really I should be resting. Look at me! I should be resting,’ before he replied, ‘Oh for goodness sake.’

When a fan commented, ‘You’ll fit right in Liverpool with that headband,’ the reality star shouted, ‘Oh shut up Marcello!’ before getting Harvey to repeat her.

Katie continued: ‘We’re gonna walk through, it’s probably gonna be speeches time. The thing is, Harvey normally goes to bed at half-six, seven and the awards don’t start until half nine.

‘He’s not gonna like the three course meal, so I’ve just had to give him pizza, no pasta, so I’ve got to try and keep him entertained until it’s award time.’  

The recent surgery comes days after Katie launched her new OnlyFans page for £11 a month at a press call where she wore a nun’s outfit and promoted her new venture.   

Dr Judy Todd, an aesthetic doctor at Clinica Medica in Glasgow, said: ‘It appears like she’s had a face lift, temporal brow lift, and possibly an upper blepharoplasty…. 

‘These would all lift the features to a more youthful position, elevate the eyebrows and would reduce any sagging skin on the upper eyelid. She is currently wearing a pressure dressing which is all over the area where the sutures would be…

‘This kind of bruising around the eye often occurs with these procedures but the effects are only temporary and tend to dissipate within seven to 10 days.  

‘But some patients may experience swelling and bruising for several weeks after surgery but this will ultimately depend on the patient’s healing process and post-op recovery care.’

It was reported last month that Katie had plans to travel to Turkey imminently for yet more plastic surgery, amid claims she wanted to get some tweaks in after being unhappy with her latest plastic surgery work.

A friend of Katie’s reportedly told The Sun: ‘Katie’s telling everyone she thinks her bum implants make her look too big and wants them out – plus more lipo. 

However Katie’s latest surgery was on her face, not her body like her pal had suggested. The source added: ‘When Katie has an idea in her head, she just does it. Who knows if she’ll actually go through with it, but she’s told friends she’s going.’

The mum-of-five last visited Turkey just six months ago, where she underwent full body liposuction, eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, and had fat injected into her bum. 

Following Katie’s surgery last summer she was said to be in ‘horrific pain’, but she admitted she was still prepared to go under the knife again.

Also in attendance at the ceremony was Christine McGuinness who was a vision is a glittery one-shoulder sheer number, that showed off her long legs through a daring slit. 

Her blonde tresses were styled in waves while she completed her look with a swipe of lipgloss. 

She added a pair of gold strappy heels to add height to her frame and a show-stopping pair of glitzy chandelier earrings. 

Christine smiled for the cameras as she sported a glamorous palette of glowing makeup with a glossy nude lip.     

Love Island’s Faye Winter, meanwhile, proudly displayed her scar in a cutout dress and clung to her curves, boasting a thigh high slit that showed off her long legs.

Her ample assets were on full display in the plunging garment, which she paired with sparkly heels.

Her long locks were styled in neat curls, while she completed her look with a full face of makeup to accentuate her pretty features.

She cosied up to Teddy, who looked handsome in black suit, complete with white shirt and bow tie.    

Joining the couple at the awards, were fellow Love Islanders Aaron Francis and Hugo Hammond. 

The pair both looked dashing in matching bow ties, with Aaron wearing a beige buttoned up blazer and Hugo opting for a black suit. 

Sally Phillips put on a very animated display in a sparkly gold floor-length gown that glittered under the lights.

Her blonde hair was swept back in an elegant updo and she beamed as she struck several quirky poses.

Jennifer Ellison put on a busty display in a white blazer, which she paired with glittery nude trousers. 

Elevating her height in a pair of nude heels, she wore her long blonde locks in neat waves. 

Shane Ward and his pregnant fiancée Sophie Austin looked very loved-up as they cosied up together on the red carpet.

Sophie glowed in a navy gown that featured a long cape, and which hugged her blossoming baby bump.

Shane cut a stylish figure in a beige coat worn over a dark jumper and navy trousers as he held future wife’s hand. 

Ainsley Harriott looked energetic as ever, as he waves his hands for the cameras in a black suit and tie.

Meanwhile Liam Bairstow stood out from the crowd in a blue and green patterned blazer and black shirt and trousers.

Richard Blackwood looked sharp in a floral patterned black suit and eye-catching burnt orange silk shirt. 

Annie Wallace looked stunning in a purple cardigan over a sparkly black blouse and smart purple trousers. 

Heather Small dazzled in a silver sequin gown that clung to her lithe frame, and showed off her ample cleavage.

She finished the look with several chunky silver rings and with a swipe of classic red lipstick across her perfect pout. 

The National Diversity Awards celebrates the excellent achievements of grass-root communities that tackle the issues in today’s society, giving them recognition for their dedication and hard work.
