Arrest warrant issued for Katie Price

It’s after she missed a court hearing relating to her bankruptcies

An arrest warrant has been issued for Katie Price after she failed to attend a court hearing relating to her bankruptcies.

The 46-year-old had been due to appear at a bankruptcy court in London on Tuesday (July 30), after being told she must attend or risk arrest.

Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Catherine Burton said Price had been given “very clear warnings” about what would happen if she didn’t attend.

She added: “It is in my judgment necessary that the court issue a warrant for Ms Price’s arrest.

“She has no real excuse in failing to attend today’s hearing. The reason for her absence today is irrelevant.”

Price had previously missed a hearing in March because she was “dealing with serious stuff”, Sky News reports.

The former glamour model was declared bankrupt earlier this year over an unpaid tax bill of more than £761,994.05. This was the second time she’d declared bankruptcy, having had debts of £3.2m in 2019.

At a hearing in February relating to her first bankruptcy, Price was ordered to pay 40 per cent of her monthly OnlyFans income to the trustee for the next three years.

She had said in October that she was “fed up” with the threats of legal action, and would go to prison to be “done with it all.”
