Katie Price is due in court in a matter of days as she faces her second bankruptcy.
The former glamour model, 45, missed her last court hearing and has been spotted on a lavish holiday in Cyprus with boyfriend JJ Slater. She was due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court but reportedly informed her lawyers at the last minute that she couldn't attend court.
Katiewas declared bankrupt for the second time last month over an unpaid tax bill amounting to £761,994.05. She was ordered to pay 40% of herOnlyFansearnings for the next three years as part of a separate issue. The mum-of-five was due to face a grilling over her finances in court, with the expectation that she would show how she can pay off her debts.
She will now face court again on May 14, according to The Sun. The publication reported a barrister told the High Court judge last week: "It's quite apparent that the evidence was filed very late and not even filed with the court. We are in a very serious situation as a consequence. She may be held in contempt of court, imprisoned, fined or a warrant issued for her arrest."
Despite Katie missing the hearing on Friday, her ex husband Alex Reid was spotted leaving court. Katie was snapped in Ayia Napa holding hands new boyfriend JJ and appeared carefree as they soaked up the sun. Over the weekend, the star spoke out for the first time since being threatened with jail. She posted a video of herself while on a photoshoot ahead of the release of her latest autobiography and told fans the book will be more insightful than her previous memoirs. Katie said: "This book just tops all the others.

The glamour model is facing her second bankruptcy (katieprice/Instagram)"For so many years I hide behind what I've learned the mask because that's my way to deal with things. And it gets to a point where it becomes noise. I had my breakdown, the worst thing ever. And now I've come on top I've learned not to be afraid. And I think in this book people get to see really what it's like to be me. There will be uplifting moments, dark moments, moments where I can put the truth right with a lot of things." She then fist pumped the air and screamed: "She's got her next book out."
Back in 2019 she had debts of £3.2million and was then declared bankrupt. Katie faces losing her £2million Sussex mansion, dubbed Muck Mansion, or face the humiliation of bailiffs. Last month Katie found herself in hot water once again and was fined £880 for driving without a licence or insurance. She was also ordered to pay £352 victim surcharge and £620 court costs, which amount to £1,852. The star was spotted on CCTV in a Range Rover last August in Kettering.
The Mirror has contacted Katie's representative for comment.
