Katie Price is ‘suffering depression and anxiety in silence’ says boyfriend Kris Boyson
The personal trainer, 30, said that Katie feels she can't 'show any weakness'
KATIE Price's boyfriend Kris Boyson has revealed that the former glamour model is "suffering depression and anxiety in silence".
The personal trainer, 30, recently opened up about his own mental health struggles in his early twenties and now explained how his other half, 40, puts on a "hard" front as feels she can't "show any weakness".
"Don't think she's as hard as she appears to be. People think she's tough as nail and she plays up to that because it's her coping mechanism.
Adding: "If she shows any weakness she'll get eaten alive. She may play the game and act hard, but criticism and lies really affect her."
Katie checked herself into The Priory in September to help with post-traumatic stress disorder following drink and drug binges.
In 2017, an emotional Katie revealed how she has been forced to take anti-anxiety medication to cope with her life.
At the time, the Loose Women star had a horrendous few months with her discovering her third husband Kieran Hayler had cheated on her again after she tragically suffered a miscarriage and her mother being diagnosed with a terminal lung illness.
Speaking of her medication, she said: "I am on it, it's for anxiety. I'm not scared to admit it. If you've got a headache you go to the doctor and you get a tablet.
"I get anxiety now so I take it."
Kris, who said depression struck him when he was 21, decided to speak up about his ongoing mental health battle in the wake of the death of Love Island star Mike Thalassitis aged 26.
Sharing his experience, he admitted he got so depressed he charged onto a busy road and “into an oncoming car”.
Kris, who recently admitted to suffering such bad anxiety it once forced him out of a job, told the publication that he was plagued by feelings of "ominous doom".
He told the magazine: "I didn't know Mike, but his death is a wake-up call. People need to speak out about mental health and realise that it’s OK not to be OK.
"I've been through so much and I was embarrassed to let anyone know I was struggling so badly.
"But I’ve found my coping mechanisms and I hope by speaking so publicly it will help others, too."
