Former model and reality TV star Katie Price, 46, was arrested at Heathrow Airport after failing to appear in court for a hearing related to her ongoing bankruptcy issues. The arrest occurred at 7:45 PM on Thursday, 8 August, as Price returned from a trip to Turkey. She was immediately taken into custody at a west London police station and is scheduled to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice on Friday, 9 August.

The arrest stems from an arrest warrant issued by Judge Catherine Burton of the Insolvency and Companies Court after Price failed to attend a critical hearing regarding her financial affairs. Judge Burton expressed frustration with Price’s lack of cooperation, stating that the former “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” contestant had provided no explanation for her absence and had shown only “piecemeal cooperation” in the proceedings. The judge emphasized that arrest warrants are not issued lightly, but Price’s repeated failure to provide basic information about her finances left the court with no choice.

Katie Price was first declared bankrupt in November 2019, a financial status that was repeated in March 2024 due to an unpaid tax bill exceeding £750,000. In February, during a previous court hearing, Price was ordered to pay 40% of her monthly income from the adult entertainment platform OnlyFans to a trustee managing her debts for the next three years. This financial obligation is part of the ongoing efforts to resolve her first bankruptcy case.
Price’s legal and financial troubles have been widely publicized, adding to the challenges she faces in her personal and professional life. Her upcoming court appearance will likely play a crucial role in determining the next steps in her complex financial situation. The public and media will be closely watching as this high-profile case continues to unfold.
