Others were worried Bunny drinking coca-cola, due to its high sugar content. 

In the photos, Katie used coca-cola cans as hair rollers and looked glamorous as she wore a full face of make-up, which she recreated on her daughter Bunny.

Katie captioned the post: ‘Never underestimate the pricey, I know what’s coming up… #bunnyisinheavenwiththemakeup’.

Katie has reportedly lost half a stone after being left in so much pain she is unable to eat following her surgery on her broken feet, after sustaining the injury during a nasty fall in Turkey. 

A source told The Sun: ‘Katie’s on all these pain medications but she just can’t sleep she’s in so much pain.  

‘She’s gone off her food, which is unlike her, and has lost half a stone since the operation. She was already tiny, so everyone’s trying to tempt her into eating again as she can’t lose much more.’
