Katie Price dresses down in casually chic jumper and jeans as she steps out for first time since announcing break from the public eye

• e-mail

She revealed on Friday that she would be taking a break from the spotlight to heal her aching heart, after constantly discussing husband Kieran Hayler's affairs during her recent book tour.

And Katie Price certainly opted for a much more low-key appearance than normal as she left the ITV studios later that day.

Leaving her famed busty ensembles and bodysuits behind the TV personality, 38, kept things casual in a simple beige jumper and jeans as she headed home from her Loose Women appearance, into her showbiz hiatus.

Low-key: Katie Price, 38, opted for a much more low-key appearance than normal as she left the ITV studios on Friday after announcing her month-long hiatus from the spotlight

Shades of beige: The TV personality kept things casual in a simple beige jumper and jeans as she headed home from her Loose Women appearance

The mother-of-five had changed since her appearance on the chat show that morning, sporting a more dressed-down look in light of her decision.

Katie dressed for the chillier London weather in a high-neck beige jumper, which featured chic and trendy cold shoulders.

The cosy knitwear was decorated with small diamond cut outs all over it alongside the ribbing at the neck and sleeves.

Fur o'clock: Katie paired her stylish loungewear with a funky pair of pink mule loafers, lined with fur - a theme she mirrored in her furry outerwear, visible from her black handbag

Despite remaining demure in style, the top still managed to enhance her famous surgically-enhanced bust thanks to its clingy material, and a V stitched pattern across her chest. 

Katie paired her stylish loungewear with classic blue skinny jeans and a funky pair of pink mule loafers, lined with fur. 

Clearly a favourite style of hers, the former I'm A Celeb contestant carried another extravagantly furry item of clothing in her sleek black leather handbag as she smiled for the cameras - perhaps for the last time for a while. 

Slender: Katie added blue jeans to the look, enhancing her slim legs

Forever glamorous: Katie added an oversized pair of sunglasses to her heavily made-up face, and left her hair in voluminous curls

Still retaining her usual glamour despite her more low-key look, Katie added an oversized pair of sunglasses to her heavily made-up face, and left her hair in the voluminous curls she had sported on Loose Women earlier that morning.  

During the TV appearance only hours earlier, the former glamour model announced that she is going to take a month-long break from the limelight.

The star announced that the tour for her autobiography Reborn, and discussion of her husband Kieran Hayler's affairs as part of promotion for it had become too much for bear- and now aims to heal her returning heartbreak privately with couples therapy sessions.

Break: Katieannounced on Loose Women on Friday that she's taking a month-long break from the public eye after the gruelling experience of promoting her new book Reborn

She explained: 'We're gonna go back to a therapist, not because there's anything wrong with our relationship... He's realised now I've moved on, how much he's hurt me. It's a lot for him to deal with.

'Everything, all in my life, I've never really sat down and spoken about it (with a therapist).'

She added: 'We had therapy at the time (of Kieran's cheating) and I thought I was over it... The past two weeks, I've been back on my book tour, it's reopened new wounds. I've had to talk about it.'  

Therapy: Katie and husband Kieran Hayler will be going to couples therapy in the near future

Late honeymoon: The couple will also be heading off next week for a late honeymoon

However, while she insisted multiple times throughout the show's broadcast that she and Kieran are not splitting, she did mistakenly refer to him as ex-husband Peter Andre. 

After her initial announcement of taking a break, Kieran sent a video message from his phone, in which he said: 'Hi babes, I love you and I'm so proud of you and I'm going to support you through everything. I love you.'

Katie jokingly fired back: 'You're the one who did the damage!'

Oops! During her time on the show, Katie mistakenly referred to Kieran as her ex Peter Andre

Testing times: Katie explained that speaking about her husband's cheating so extensively two-and-a-half years later has tested her and her spouse emotionally

When asked by her co-hosts if she'll ever forgive him, she said: 'I'll never forgive him. Never forget... But I wanna clarify me and Kieran - oops, I almost said Pete then - are absolutely fine. It's just been hard emotionally for both of us.' 

She also confessed that her move to expand her boobs to a new bra-busting size - much like her old alter ego Jordan - was likely because of insecurities. 

The mother-of-five said: 'The boobs had nothing to do with what's happened with the book. I will admit people see me going out in more skimpy stuff.

Demure: Katie displayed her slimline physique in a comparably demure ensemble

Heartbroken: Katie broke Kieran's heart when he cheated on her with two of her best friends

'When I met Kieran, my body was small and normal and then I had two babies back-to-back and gained weight... The two women he had affairs with were smaller... Now I'm back to where I was and maybe it's like, "Now I'm back to where you want me." 

'I am insecure. I am vulnerable. It's kind of a relief for me to admit I'm not as strong as people think. I have to put a barrier up. But enough's enough now.

'I'm not disappearing for ages, just a few weeks... We're just going away on a belated honeymoon, just me and Kieran and the kids and enjoy some horses.

'I want to help Kieran through this as well, because it's tough for us both... I do trust him, but because of all this book stuff there's turbulence.'

Squad: She spoke candidly with panellists (l-r) Kaye Adams, Linda Robson and Nadia Sawalha

Sympathetic: She received support from the Loose Women team as she shared the news

Let's hug it out: The mother-of-five later shared a hug with Linda, who called her a 'great mum'

The first moment that she realised how gruelling it might be to relive the trauma was when her legal team advised her to read through her book and she couldn't face it.  

'It's just something I don't want to relive again,' she said. 'It's just absolutely awful, torture.'

She also explained that she got through many of her past pains by putting up a defence mechanism.

'If I'm hurt, I try and answer it in a jokey-bantery way to look like I can handle it... I haven't got any tears to cry. My heart is shattered.'

Rude boy: She also took the opportunity to shoot down rumours of an affair with Scotty T

Just friends: Despite rumours to the contrary, Katie insisted that she and Scotty are just friends

But she's also been feeling sorry for Kieran - despite the damage of his past actions.

'It's also been hard for Kieran,' she said. 'He's changed in two-and-a-half years... I've had to relive it with a fresh mind and go, "Oh my god, this is what he did to me."'

Kieran's indiscretions stayed close to Katie's mind, as later on in the show, when Anne Diamond came on as a guest, she made further confessions when the TV veteran spoke about being cheated on.

'Sometimes, it crosses my mind that I want to hurt him back,' said Katie of Kieran. 'Sometimes, I just want him to feel the pain that I had.'

Feeling sorry: Despite Kieran's cheating, Katie said that she feels terribly for her husband

Raunch: Katie also apologised for her recent return to wild public behaviour and raunchy attire

During the show, she also took some time to shoot down rumours that she'd had a fling with Scotty T.

'This has dragged on,' she said, looking exasperated as she explained that the Geordie Shore star had taken her and a friend to a sunbed.

She recalled: 'Afterwards he asked if he could come and change in my room because he had a event to get to in Blackpool. While he was in there I was just getting my hair done and that’s it. We’re just friends.

Warning: During the show, Nadia revealed that she'd advised Katie against going on the tour

Chaos: She also pointed out Katie's string of chaotic relationships since her split with Peter

'We had people in room. I shouldn't have to justify myself. I'm married. I'm not gonna do that.'

Katie's fellow panellists also asked if Kieran trusted her, to which she answered: 'I feel like he might wonder if I'll go and do something because of all the book stuff.'

Directing her apologies to the public about her recent antics, she said: 'I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my pictures and behaviour. But I'm human... I don't wanna talk about the past anymore. I just need to move on.'

She added: 'It took me 23 years to admit that I am vulnerable and I do have insecurities... I'm self-destructive sometimes, but I'm human.'

Opening up: She revealed that this will be the first time she candidly talks through her issues

Having a laugh: Katie admitted that she'd previously joked her way out of serious discussion

Despite her efforts to save their marriage, Katie appeared remarkably considerate of his possible future should they ever break up.

Speaking later in the show about vasectomies, she admitted that she wouldn't want him to go through with the procedure, just in case he wanted children with somebody else.

Katie said: 'Once we've had all our kids I'd be happy to do it. But I don't think I'd want him to. You don't know what's going to happen...

'What if we split and he met someone and wanted to reverse his vasectomy and I went off and had a baby with somebody else? It would kill him.'

Proud parents: The couple welcomed two children together in quick succession, bringing Katie's total number of offspring to five
