Leggy Katie Price hits the town with Leandro... but all eyes are on her tattoo

By Daily Mail Reporter


Eye-catching: Katie Price arrives at the Cuckoo Club in London with Leandro Penna in some sheer leggings


She has been out of sight of the cameras for almost a week now - an eternity in Katie Price's world.

So when the model reappeared for a night on the town in London she did it in typically eye-catching style.

Katie wore a pair of bizarre sheer criss-cross leggings for her night with boyfriend Leandro Penna - but even her outlandish outfit couldn't distract from her very noticeable new body art.

Chivalrous: Leandro helped his girlfriend out of the cab as they arrived at the Cuckoo Club in London


Katie, who turned 33 last week, has finally revealed her new tattoo - a large rose, which covers up what used to be a tribute to her ex-husband Peter Andre.

All eyes were on the new etching, which Katie has resolutely kept hidden since getting the inking reworked during her holiday in Argentina earlier this month.

Katie wore a short black dress over the tights, and peep toe booties, with her hair in full, Barbie-style blonde waves.

What's that on your arm? Despite her bizarre leggings, all eyes were on Katie's new body art

Leandro looked smart in a suit and bright red tie as they arrived at the Cuckoo Club in London's West End.

Perhaps she was waiting until the rose tattoo was fully healed before unveiling it.
Katie has kept the new tattoo hidden beneath bandages and long sleeved jumpers since her return from Argentina.

Despite splitting from Peter Andre two years ago, it took Price until recently to finally rid herself of her ex-husband's name completely.

Just a month after their split in 2009, she had a crude cross etched over his name during her infamous post break-up holiday in Ibiza.

Then Katie was pictured getting a new inking during her trip to Argentina earlier this month.

At the time Mail Online speculated that Price might finally be getting the tribute to her ex covered up.

While Katie left Peter's name clearly visible beneath the crude cross for almost two years throughout her marriage to Alex Reid, it appears her new love, Leandro Penna, has inspired her to finally move on.

The 25-year-old Argentine model was by her side this month when she had the old tattoo - 'Pete' surrounded with hearts - covered for good.

Leandro introduced Katie to tattooist Mariano Antonio at the American Tattoo parlour, after he created Leandro's spiral design across his back in March - just a couple of weeks after he met Price at Elton John's post-Oscar party in Los Angeles.

Katie's new rose design sits atop the crown and tribute to daughter Princess that were already on her left wrist.

It's not the only tattoo that Price has. She also has a ribbon design around her right ankle hanging down over her foot and a bow on her lower back.


New venture: Katie is launching an America's Top Model style show entitled Discovered by Katie Price


Peter Andre opted to have his own tribute to Katie removed by laser last year.

His tattoo was in a rather more symbolic place on his body - his wedding finger.

But the Australian singer had the small 'Katie' etching removed over a period of several treatments last year.

Katie Price's £11k hairdo horror! Model demanding compensation after 3,000-mile trip to U.S. salon results in her hair falling out

By Lara Gould and Caroline Graham


Lightening up: Katie Price on her visit to Lea Journo's salon - where she is hoping to claim compensation from for damage to her hair


She has always gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure her appearance is never less than eye-catching.

But model Katie Price is demanding compensation from a top Los Angeles hair salon after she spent £11,000 on hair colourings and extensions that she claims were botched, leaving her hair so damaged it began falling out.

The 33-year-old is seeking a full refund plus compensation from Lea Journo, one of Hollywood’s most in-demand hairdressers, who has tended her hair three times a year since 2006.

Remedial work: Back in London, Katie Price visits a salon to try to have the damage corrected


Over the past five years it means Miss Price – who has built up a £40 million fortune from her business empire, which includes modelling, novels and an equestrian fashion range – has spent more than £150,000 on her hair.

Appointments with Parisian-born Miss Journo, who runs her own salon at the five-star Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel in LA and boasts a string of A-list Hollywood clients including Brad Pitt, start from £150 for a basic trim. A simple blow dry costs £100. Colour treatments and hair extensions start at £250.

Miss Price claims she made the 3,000-mile journey to LA to have her hair lightened from brunette to blonde and to have hair extensions applied at the salon in December. And in keeping with her position as one of Britain’s most well-publicised stars, she made sure she was followed every step of the way by a crew from her reality TV show, Katie.

Miss Price, who says she uses the salon because it is ‘the best’ for applying hair extensions, says she was told Miss Journo wasn’t available but was offered an appointment with another stylist instead.

Not happy: The extensions are clearly exposed by her wind-swept hair - and soon she realised bits of hair were falling out


Before starting, Miss Price, also known as glamour model Jordan, sought an assurance that such an extreme change in colour wouldn’t damage her hair. She says the salon told her there was no risk because the lightening method they used didn’t contain bleach.

But Miss Price, who spent 48 hours in the salon over five days and was worked on by a team of hairdressers, says she noticed problems after technicians began the colouring. She claims her hair became brittle and began snapping off half way through the treatment.

A source close to the twice-married star said she was assured there was nothing wrong and continued with the next stage of the process, attaching the extensions.

The intricate process involves human hair being attached strand by strand to existing hair.

Miss Price, who paid for the £11,000 cost of the treatment in full upon leaving the salon, says she felt discomfort almost immediately after the process was completed.

After arriving back in the UK, a week later she claims her hair began breaking off and the extensions were pulling her hair from the root.

A source said: ‘It looked fine once it had been blow dried but Katie said it felt uncomfortable and the extensions were tugging at the roots.

‘When she got back to the UK she got a hairdresser to look at the extensions who said they had been applied unevenly. Her hair was very weak from the colouring. It was brittle and broke off easily, leaving different parts different lengths. At the front there were bits that were only a few centimetres long. The damage will take a long time to repair.’

Miss Price says she was offered a 50 per cent refund and an invitation to return to have the work corrected. But she says that offer has since been retracted and she is seeking advice about getting her money back.

Yesterday Miss Price’s long-time ‘colour technician’ at the salon, Alexandra Thomas, said: ‘None of us had any idea who she was when she started coming here. She’s like Britain’s answer to Pamela Anderson but not as pretty or successful, right?
‘There was a big bust-up recently and Katie was making a stink.

‘I can’t really talk about it but let’s just say I don’t think she’ll be coming back. It doesn’t bother us and to be honest it’s a relief. We handle the biggest stars in Hollywood. She’s a nobody.’

Sources close to Miss Price say that since December she has spent £45,000 trying to rectify the damage.She claims to have had her hair checked by four independent hairdressers – including one from hair extensions company Great Lengths – who are prepared to corroborate her claims that the extensions were applied incorrectly.

A source added: ‘She is seeking reimbursement of the cost of the treatment plus compensation.’

But another source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: ‘What is at issue here is that the hair was in poor condition when she came in. Miss Price had been to another hairdresser and she asked Lea to get it back to the condition it had been in. Lea had a team work with her over several days.

‘The problem came with the bill. My understanding is that she felt she was being charged too much but Lea turned down other clients and the team turned people away to do the work and try to satisfy the client. They couldn’t simply write it off.’

Are those flowers for Katie? Green-fingered Leandro heads to garden centre ahead of Miss Price's 33rd birthday

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Happy birthday: Leandro prepares for his girlfriend's 33rd birthday bash by heading to a Surrey garden centre to pick up some flora and fauna


It’s his girlfriend’s 33rd birthday tomorrow and Leandro Penna was spotted shopping for flowers ahead of the big day.

Katie Price’s Argentinian boyfriend didn’t go to his local florist though, and instead headed to a gardening centre in Surrey.

The green-fingered model appeared to have chosen a range of different flower pots, from pink to red to purple.

He also wheeled a selection of small trees over to his car before filling his boot with the flora and fauna.

Despite dressing down in casual shorts, a T-shirt and trainers, Leandro couldn’t hide his model good looks.


Wheeling in the plants: Leandro threw on his gardening gear to pick up the plants


Penna has apparently been working in Jordan's garden all week with her sister's boyfriend, Harry Brooks

Meanwhile, Katie Price has been getting excited about her birthday bash, which she is celebrating tonight with a fancy dress party, according to The Sun.


Handsome gardener: Despite dressing down in casual shorts, a T-shirt and trainers, Leandro couldn't hide his model good looks


The former glamour model wrote on her Twitter page today: ‘You will look wicked tonight! Everything organised so I can chill today in fact haven’t felt well past few days cold on way!x’ [sic]

Leandro has apparently been preening her garden in time for the party, but perhaps his latest flowers are a surprise bunch for Katie.

She has apparently organised the dress-up part at her home and has invited some of her ex-boyfriends, but not her ex-husbands, the tabloid reported.

The Pricey is said to have invited Blue star Duncan James and Another Level singer Dane Bowers among 300 other guests.


Birthday girl: Katie Price was spotted at her local Sainsbury's in Essex with her son Junior yesterday, while Leandro was in the garden


But Peter Andre and Alex Reid are apparently not invited, after having both gone through very public divorces with Jordan.

Katie has been dating 25-year-old Leandro since they met at Elton John’s Oscar party in February this year, less than two months after she split from second husband Alex Reid.

They have been virtually inseparable since and she has even joined him on vacation to his home country of Argentina to meet the Penna family.

And rumours circulated this week that the couple have had matching tattoos of the date that they met - but have not yet been spotted.


Business meetings: Earlier in the week Katie Price was seen arriving at a hotel in London, where she had some business appointments

Ouch... doesn't that hurt? Katie Price displays painful hair extensions tugging on her scalp

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Beauty is pain? Unfortunately Katie Price's hair extensions don't even look good, yet must be causing her a bit of pain


Katie Price might have toned down her make-up lately by opting for a more natural approach; however her hair still looks anything but.

The former glamour model flew out from Gatwick airport today and landed in Manchester with hair extensions that appeared to be pulling on her scalp.

She had a full head of extensions attached to the roots of her hair, which she piled into a large bun.

If she was trying to achieve a glamorous full head of big hair though, her attempt was unsuccessful and instead her barnet just looked painful.

The Pricey arrived in Manchester solo and must have left her Argentinian boyfriend Leando back in London.

The mother-of-three appeared happy to be on her own though, as she strutted through the airport in skin tight grey jeans and suede boots.

Despite being without Mr Penna today, Jordan spent last night with her Latin lover for drinks and dinner.

Katie and her Leandro were both wearing torn jeans and T-shirts as they headed to the Mayfair Bar in London.


Texting Leandro? Katie was snapped texting on her mobile phone - no doubt checking up on her Latin lover


Katie, 32, was all in white as she stepped out in ripped skin tight jeans, feathered boots and a T-shirt adorned with a woman riding a horse saying ‘ranch’ over her chest.

While 25-year-old Penna matched his scuffed jeans with a plain black T-shirt and cowboy-inspired boots.

After enjoying a few drinks at the exclusive bar, the couple decided to enjoy a meal at Roka Restaurant in central London.

Is that really you Katie? Make-up free Miss Price looks pretty and fresh faced without her war paint

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Fresh faced: The glamour model had ditched her heavy make-up for the night out instead opting for a minimal look


She is usually a firm believer that when it comes to make-up more is more.

But as the glamour model, 32, enjoyed a night out with toy boy Leandro Penna last night she decided to hold back on the war paint, opting instead to show off her natural beauty with minimal make-up.

Katie, was enjoying a night out with beau and her friend, makeup artist Gary Cockerill, in Soho and the group visited Balans bar in the area for the evening out.

Katie was dressed in a pair of tight jeans and wore an off-the-shoulder cream knitted jumper which emphasised her extremely dark tan.

Lovebirds: Katie and Leandro enjoyed a night out in Soho with Katie's friend Gary but didn't dress up for the evening


The mother-of-three had her bleached locks loose around her shoulders and added a flash of colour with bright pink nails.

Leandro, 26, was dressed in a grey jumper and ripped grey jeans and appeared extremely protective of Katie as he tightly held her hand and ushered her into their car as they ended for home at the end of their evening.

Toned down: We are more used to seeing Katie with a full face of makeup as seen at her novel launch last year compared with her fresh-faced look last night


And it was at this point she became snap happy playing up to the paparazzi and turned her own camera on them.

Katie picked up a camera after working out how to take pictures on it to try her photography skills out for size.

She wound down the window of the car and snapped a few shots of the photographers as they took pictures of her.

Snap happy: Katie played photographer last night as she turned her own camera on waiting photographers on a night out with Leandro and friend Gary

So no upcoming nuptials? Katie got to grips with the camera and appeared ring free, after wearing a large ring on her engagement finger last week


Katie had sparked rumours, albeit spoken with a helping of scepticism, that she and Leandro were engaged when she wore a huge ring on her engagement finger at a book signing last week.

But while she was ring-free at the event she kept her new tattoo, which she had completed on her most recent visit to South America, under the sleeve of her jumper.

You've got to be kidding Katie! Jordan flashes ring on engagement finger the day after Leandro jets back to U.K.

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Trying to tell us something? Katie Price was seen with a huge ring on her engagement finger earlier today as she attended a book signing with Leandro


She's admitted to being in love with him and just a day after Leandro Penna followed her back to the U.K. Katie Price has been spotted wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger.

The glamour model flashed the rock at her book signing earlier today as he boyfriend Leandro proudly looked on.

The 26-year-old model jetted to be back by Katie’s side yesterday after the couple spent just three days apart.


Katie jetted back from Argentina on Tuesday night and shortly after returning from a trip to Leandro’s home town Katie,32, tweeted: ‘At least I can admit now I'm in love with leo and had been for along time but didn't want to say woo.’ (sic)

As she clutched her novel for a photocall Katie, who has been married twice, showed off a huge ring on her engagement finger.

But while she has only known Leandro for a matter of months she appeared to enjoy playing up the camera's with the rock and ensured she held her book in her left hand to get the ring in shot.

She wore a checked grey shirt over a white vest teamed with a pair of grey leggings, suede boots and she finished off the look with a black wide brimmed hat.

Can't stand being apart: Leandro joined Katie at her book singing today after following her back to the U.K. from Argentina after just three days


But while she was happy to flash the rock she kept her latest body art hidden and was sporting a bandage around her left wrist.

Katie opted to have the etching added to her inner left arm - alongside her older designs of a crown and her daughter's name 'Princess' while she was in South America.

The glamour model used to have the tattoo of the word Pete in the same area surrounded by hearts but shortly after they split she was seen with his name crossed out.

'I love him': As Katie arrived back into the UK earlier this week she tweeted that she was in love with Leandro and today she ensured she was pictured wearing a ring on her engagement finger


Tweeting from the American Tattoo boutique in the upmarket Buenos Aires area of Recoleta, Katie wrote: ''In the middle of having a new tattoo ...OMG it HURTS grrrr ahhhhhh.'

Perhaps her new inking is a tribute to her current boyfriend who she met little over two months ago at an Oscars party hosted by Elton John.

Cat who got the cream: Leandro gives a thumbs up as he watches Katie at the book signing


Katie filed for divorce from Alex Reid, who she married in February 2010, just days after meeting Leandro in March.

The glamour model had split from her first husband Peter Andre in May 2009 after three and a half years together.
