KATIE Price admitted she banned her youngest kids from seeing her after her brutal surgery as she feared she "looked like a monster".

Revealing how she has suffered through the process, she said: “Honestly, I’ve gone to hell and back, it was horrific — ‘Oh my God  I look like a monster out of a horror movie’.

“I just thought, ‘This is it, I’m going to die. I was terrified of looking like a freak, like that Bride of Wildenstein or a fake doll.

“I’ve woken up with holes and stitches all over my body. I look like I’ve got cat’s whiskers coming out of my nose and eyes. But I just want the old Katie back!”

Despite the traumatic ordeal, Katie wouldn't rule out further procedures.

She said: “No I’d do it again . . maybe in five to ten years.”
