KATIE Price has said she's "put on two stone" but still refuses to admit she's pregnant.
The former glamour model, 42, set tongues wagging when she posed for a snap whilst cradling her 'baby bump' last week.
The mum-of-five told followers that she was "happy and healthy" - which left many convinced that she's expecting her first child with boyfriend Carl Woods, 31.
During an appearance on Channel 4's Steph's Packed Lunch earlier today, Katie addressed the 'pregnancy' rumours for the first time.
She confessed to host Steph McGovern: "I’ve put on weight.
"Anyone can speculate what they like. Pictures can be deceiving in lots of different ways."
When asked if she posed for the picture in a way that made her look pregnant, Katie didn't give a clear yes or no answer.
The star, who was on the show to raise awareness about the increase of mental health issues in teenagers, added: "It was literally a picture, and everyone was saying you’re pregnant. I’m not saying I am and I’m not saying I’m not.”
“I genuinely have put on weight. I’ve put on two stone and I absolutely hate it.
"And I’m fed up of moaning about it, but then I say that whilst I’m eating a burger so I can’t help myself.”
Katie is already mum to Junior, 15, and Princess, 13, who she shares with ex husband Peter Andre.
She also shares Jet, seven, and Bunny, six with ex husband Kieran Hayler, as well as 18-year-old Harvey with Dwight Yorke.
The star has made it very clear that she wants to start a family of her own with the Essex car dealer, who she began dating in July 2020.
Earlier this month she confessed to The Sun that she wants four more kids with her beau.

However she has to think carefully about the best option for her because of having four Caesarean sections in the past.
She told us: "If I could, I’d definitely like another four kids. I might be able to, but my age isn’t helping.
"Realistically, I’m hoping to have another two. The next will be very special."
Steph’s Packed Lunch airs weekdays at 12.30pm on Channel 4
