Katie Price has hilariously explained why she chose not to breastfeed any of her five children.
The former glamour model, 46, is mother to Harvey Price, 22, Junior, 19, and Princess Andre, 17, and son Jett, 10, and daughter Bunny Hayler, 9.
On Thursday, the reality star announced the arrival of her seventh autobiography entitled This Is Me.
In the book, which promises to be her most explosive yet, Katie writes that at the time of second son Junior’s birth she was ‘getting pressure from people to have him naturally and to breastfeed’.
She continued: ‘My reaction then is the same as it is now: ‘F*** off. Let me do things my own way.

On Thursday, she announced the arrival of her seventh autobiography entitled This Is Me: This Is Me: The high life. The dark times. The FULL story
‘I believe it’s all choice and new mothers should not, under any circumstances, feel the pressure to do something or not something because of what someone else says.
‘When you are a mother you have to do what works best for you. I certainly wasn’t going to be vilified for choosing to bottle feed when millions of women over the world do it.’
It is not the first time Katie has spoken about the bottle-feeding versus breastfeeding debate.
On Loose Women in 2016, Katie shocked viewers – and the panellists – by admitting she doesn’t like seeing women breastfeeding.
Katie said at the time: ‘I don’t like breast-feeding selfies. I don’t agree with people putting up pictures of them breastfeeding.
‘I don’t want to see that, like people probably won’t want to see me my selfies, my boobs and this and that.’
Katie, who co-hosts podcast The Katie Price Show, continued: ‘If it’s proper out then you can’t help looking.
‘I know it’s a natural thing, but I don’t want to eat my dinner seeing a woman’s boob out.’
Challenged on her own pregnancy photos – which appeared in certain magazines, such as, OK! – the model said she’d been in control of the shoots and didn’t regret it.

And this was not the first time Katie has spoken about the bottle-feeding versus breastfeeding debate
Quizzed by her fellow panellists Janet Street Porter, Ruth Langsford and Linda Robson, and special guest Kerry Katona, the model responded to their comments on her magazine shoots.
She said: ‘I don’t think we can answer this one because we do show our bumps. The difference is, I knew I was showing it off. I was in control.
‘I don’t take pictures of my bump and send it to friends like that, but I can’t sit and say, “Oh no I won’t do that” because clearly I’ve done shoots and been paid for it. I’d be two-faced [if I said it wasn’t right to share these pictures].’
On Wednesday, Katie showed off the results of her 17th boob job as she stepped out with her boyfriend JJ Slater after a launch event for This Is Me.
The former glamour model was seen leaving the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London with JJ, 31, in an eye-popping ensemble.
Katie wrote in the memoir, that she wants another baby and has opted for a sperm donor instead of her current flame.
Writing in her new book, Katie told how she has an American fertility clinic on speed dial and has already chosen the man whose sperm she will use.
