S3, Episode #043 Katie Price

18-year-old Katie Price lives with her parents in Staffordshire and already weighs 18 ½ stone. Her father is a paramedic and is scared that one day he'll be called to pick up his own daughter. It's no wonder Katie is obese: she lives on a junk food diet and can eat an incredible 2,650 calories in just two of her meals. Her favorite food is burgers and she gets through 16 a week, each full of saturated fats and high in salt. Gillian certainly shocks Katie, but can this spotty, tired and moody teenager quit the junk before her eating habits kill her?
