Katie Price’s partner, JJ Slater, recently shared details about their planned joint cosmetic surgery trip to Turkey. Unfortunately, JJ, a former participant on “Married At First Sight UK,” had to cancel his procedure due to his Type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
During an interview, JJ explained that he was all set for surgery to remove the bags under his eyes but couldn’t proceed because his blood sugar levels raised concerns. The diabetes diagnosis came post the TV show, impacting his life significantly.
Reflecting on the diagnosis, JJ highlighted the life-altering nature of being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. He delved into the autoimmune aspects of the condition and its potential triggers, such as stress.
JJ recounted the onset of his symptoms at age 31, emphasizing the drastic weight loss and health issues he faced. Following his diagnosis, he sought medical attention due to alarming symptoms like blood in his urine.
On a different note, Katie shared on social media that JJ underwent a hair transplant in Turkey. Their joint surgical plans followed breakup speculations earlier this year, post Katie’s separation from Carl Woods.
Despite the notable age gap between Katie and JJ, their relationship has been flourishing. Recent rumors of a split between them surfaced, but Katie clarified that they are not living together at present. She praised JJ’s independence and eye for design in relation to his properties.
