Katie Price, the well-known media personality, has recently faced criticism from her followers after sharing an update that included a sunbed session. This comes amidst concerns about a potential cancer scare, leading fans to question her choices.

The controversy arose when Katie posted a topless selfie from a sunbed on her Facebook page, where she regularly interacts with her three million followers. Before the tanning session, she shared a short video showcasing a red light therapy bed, expressing her interest in trying it out.

In the video, Katie mentioned, "So before I try the sun bed... I'm going to try this red light therapy bed, which is right here. Never had one before, apparently it's good for your bones and skin. Let me check it out." This introduction to red light therapy sparked some curiosity among her audience.

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, involves exposing the body to low levels of red or near-infrared light. Proponents claim it can stimulate cellular function, potentially reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair. While research is ongoing, some studies suggest benefits for skin rejuvenation, wound healing, and pain relief. It's important to note that red light therapy is different from the ultraviolet radiation emitted by sunbeds, which is associated with increased skin cancer risk.

Following her red light therapy exploration, Katie proceeded with the sunbed session, posting the now-controversial selfie with the caption, "It's that time again." This sparked immediate reactions from her followers, many of whom expressed concern given her recent health anxieties.

The comments section quickly filled with worried messages. One fan wrote, "I thought you said that [cancer] could be an issue…now you’re on a sunbed??" Another questioned, "And yet you have cancer worries, why would you risk?," adding a shrugging emoji. These comments reflect the confusion and concern among Katie's followers regarding her choices.

Further expressing their anxieties, another user exclaimed, "Talks about Cancer scares, then posts on a sun bed???" Someone else offered some advice stating, "Too much sun can give you cancer, I’m going to give you a fatherly advice STOP pushing yourself too far." These comments highlight the perceived contradiction between Katie's health concerns and her sunbed usage.

Another follower added, "Well that’s not good Katie if your worried about a cancer scare going on the sun beds." A more sarcastic commenter simply stated, "And your worried about a cancer scare." The overall sentiment reveals a sense of disappointment and worry from fans who feel Katie is not taking her health concerns seriously.

It's important to remember that Katie Price has been open about her extensive history with cosmetic procedures. Over the years, she has undergone numerous surgeries and treatments, including breast augmentations, liposuction, rhinoplasty, facelifts, and various fillers. Some of her procedures include:

• Her first breast augmentation, taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup, and her first liposuction.
• Two more breast augmentations in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup.
• A surgery to increase her breasts to a G cup.
• A rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth.
• A breast reduction, bringing her down from an F cup to a C cup.
• Returning to an F cup, along with body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers.
• Breast implant removal following a nasty infection.
• Another set of implants, along with Botox and lip fillers.
• A disastrous 'threading' facelift and replacement of her veneers. She also had her eighth breast augmentation, taking her to a GG cup.
• Another facelift.
• A face, eye, and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift, and a tummy tuck in Turkey.
• Her 12th breast augmentation in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers.
• Eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum, and full body liposuction.
• Another brow and eye lift, and her 'biggest ever' breast augmentation in Belgium, her 16th in total.
• A second rhinoplasty, a lip lift, and new lip filler throughout the year.
• Her 17th breast augmentation in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize.

This extensive surgical history, coupled with the recent sunbed photo, has amplified concerns about her well-being and decision-making. Some people are very vocal about the decisions and choices she makes regarding her body and health.

The controversy comes at a time when Katie has revealed a new health scare. She recently shared on her podcast, "The Katie Price Show," that a manicurist spotted a lump in her finger. This unnerved Katie, as she battled an illness 23 years previously.

Revealing her new fears, Katie said, "The same finger here, up here, this is about three weeks ago, I thought, have I knocked it? Because it hurts when I push it but there's no lump. And it (the pain) still hasn't gone. So I'm going to get that X-rayed and looked at so I hope it's not that again."

She added, "This better not be my bad [luck], and get bad results, because all this is happening, and then normally in my life something good happens and then something bad happens. Let's hope it's nothing bad." This statement reveals her understandable anxiety and apprehension about the potential health issue.

The juxtaposition of her health concerns and her choice to use a sunbed has fueled the negative reactions from her followers. Many feel that she is not prioritizing her health, especially given the known risks associated with sunbed use and skin cancer. It's a situation where her actions appear to contradict her words, leading to public scrutiny and criticism.

It's important to acknowledge the complex relationship between personal choices, public perception, and health concerns. Celebrities like Katie Price often face heightened scrutiny due to their public profile. Their actions, whether perceived as responsible or not, are often subject to intense discussion and debate.

While Katie Price is free to make her own decisions regarding her health and lifestyle, it's understandable that her followers would express concern, especially in light of her recent health anxieties. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible health practices and the potential impact of personal choices on public perception.

Ultimately, the situation highlights the delicate balance between personal autonomy and public responsibility, particularly for individuals in the public eye. Whether Katie Price will address the concerns raised by her followers remains to be seen.

It also points to the larger conversation of the use of tanning beds. Exposure to UV radiation from tanning beds can cause premature skin aging and skin cancer. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends people avoid tanning beds.

The use of tanning beds before the age of 35 also increases your risk of melanoma by 75 percent. Many places have banned tanning beds for minors for these reasons.
