Katie Price has said being "discriminated" against for her appearance left her daughter "put off surgery for life".

The former glamour model criticised social media for creating a so-called culture of airbrushing pictures and altering appearances through filters.

Price has had a catalogue of cosmetic surgeries since the 1990s, including breast implants, facelifts and liposuction.

She spoke to BBC Essex ahead of taking to the stage for an Easter pantomime in Clacton-on-Sea in April.

The 46-year-old made her name as a successful model, regularly appearing in national newspapers and magazines.

She later appeared in I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and Celebrity Big Brother.

"Unfortunately, a downside of my job is I get a lot of discrimination for things in my life I want to do," Price said.

"I'm like 'you haven't met me, you're just judging me through the media'. That becomes difficult."

The mother-of-five said public criticism of her appearance had affected her 17-year-old daughter, Princess.

"She's been put off [surgery] for life, seeing what I go through," she added.

"She goes 'mum, you don't need it, look how pretty you were' and I'm like 'oh no I look so ugly'."

Price, from Brighton, praised her daughter for being "beautiful and stunning", aspects the ex-model felt never applied to herself.

She added: "I've never thought I was pretty. If I did, I wouldn't do all this stuff to myself, would I":[]}
