KATIE Price is flashing even more flesh than ever and getting wild with her image because she fears her sex symbol status is coming to an end.
The ex glamour model recently sported a tiny black dress at the LGBT awards as well as an eye-catching grey wig on Loose Women, both of which became talking points with viewers and fans on social media.
Yet pals claim her saucy attention-grabbing antics are an attempt to keep her firmly in the spotlight as she is racked with insecurities after turning 38.
They said: "Being a sex symbol is a massive part of her persona and she's not ready to leave that part of her behind."
They added: "She feels she needs to push the boundaries by being overtly sexy, so people remember her.
"She knows that unless she gets people talking, she might end up being eclipsed."
The blonde was recently asked to LEAVE her Loose Women presenting slot during a segment about sex tips.
Viewers were left unimpressed as she confessed to owning a crystal-encrusted sex toy and declared: "Why would you when you've got the real thing?"
Anchor Ruth Langsford said: "Katie, Steady now," but there was no stopping the 37-year-old, who added: "You've got vegetables and that in the fridge."
Katie, 38, was again the centre of attention on the show when her eldest son Harvey was a special guest and swore live on stage.
She was back to her raunchy best at the premier of The Hunger Games in a bum-flashing gown before showing off her glittery gold tan in a strappy black halterneck.
Back on the ITV daytime show, she pulled on a lilac wig and quipped: "I look like I've aged overnight!"
Yet pals believe her worries about getting older are no joke, and in fact a reality.
They added: "Katie is massively insecure and her fears were heightened when she turned 38 last week.
"She feels 40 is fast approaching and is terrified of getting - and looking - old."
The mum-of-five, 37, has been plastering her Instagram account with sexy selfies and pictures of her pouting.
One, an image taken by her eldest son Harvey, showed her sporting a booby top emblazoned with the slogan "Boss Lady."
Her thousands of online fans also gushed over a shot of her showing her huge bouncy blow dry hairstyle branding it "gorgeous."
Katie also seems eager to re-live her youth, posting throwback selfies of her in her teenage years.
Talking of her apparent desire to remain in the limelight, the source added: "She'll keep on churning out shocking details so she's always talked about."
