Katie Price has revealed she wants to expand her family by using a sperm donor.
The former glamour model, 42, who is already a mum-of-five, said she’d be open to the idea of having more children, but doctors have warned she’ll have to get pregnant ‘within the next couple of years’ due to delivering four of her kids via cesarean section.
In a new interview, the reality TV star said: ‘If I don’t find anyone, I’ll get a sperm donor. It’s probably easier – they’d be less rows at least! Although I am fine with the kids’ dads.’

Katie gave birth to her eldest child Harvey, 18, in 2002 following a romance with footballer Dwight Yorke, shares Junior, 14, and Princess, 12, with former husband Peter Andre and has Jett, six and Bunny, five, with ex Kieran Hayler.
The media personality, who revealed she was in the very early stages of adopting a Nigerian orphan last year, claimed she wouldn’t be permitted to take on the process due to her large family.
The My Crazy Life star told OK! magazine: ‘Definitely. I’d love to adopt, but because I’ve already got five children they probably wouldn’t allow it.

‘I went to a fertility doctor last year and they said because I’ve had four cesareans I’d need to try in the next couple of years.’
The number of babies born to women using donor sperm, but their own eggs, has leapt almost two-thirds in five years.
Latest UK figures show 1,515 babies were born in this way in 2017, up from 934 in 2012.
Women in Britain are limited to what they can find out about their sperm donor, although information on height, weight, eye and hair colour are available, along with their age, ethnicity, medical history, existing children and marital status.
Cheryl recently revealed she’s considering to have ‘two more children’ but isn’t looking for a new man, while singer Natalie Imbruglia, 44, gave birth to her first child, son Max, last year with the help of IVF and a sperm donor.
Elsewhere in the interview, Katie said disabled son Harvey was ‘sent to her for a reason’.

The CBB star showed her love for her son in a touching chat, and slammed his estranged father Dwight for allegedly failing to wish the teenager a happy birthday.
When Harvey was born he was diagnosed with the rare genetic disorder Prader-Willi Syndrome, among other health complications including being blind due to Septo-optic dysplasia while he is also autistic, has an underactive thyroid and diabetes.
Katie, who shares a famously close bond with her son, said: ‘I do think Harvey was sent to me for a reason. I’ve always had a caring side and wanted to look after someone. Sometimes I think it was meant to be.’
