Katie Price insists she’s ‘going to enjoy her holiday’ in Turkey despite missing court and arrest warrant
KATIE Price has insisted she plans to enjoy her holiday to Turkey despite missing court and a warrant being issued for her arrest.
The double bankrupt star, 46, was due to appear in court yesterday but instead had jetted off to have more surgery.
As a result of Katie skipping court the judge served the warrant – but the mum-of-five isn’t letting it ruin her break.
She took to Instagram to share a snap of eldest son Harvey, 22, who has joined her and boyfriend JJ Slater.
She wrote: “Going to enjoy my holiday work trip filming with @mrharveyprice.”
After Katie was a no-show at the hearing yesterday, Judge Catherine Barton said: “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.”
Katie is battling a £760,000 unpaid tax bill after being declared bankrupt for a second time in March.
She was served an eviction notice ordering her to leave her £2million Mucky Mansion by the end of May as bailiffs swooped.
Last night Katie issued a statement on social media, insisting she is “fully aware of the severity of her current personal financial situation”.
Insisting she is in Turkey filming a documentary on corrective surgery, Katie added: “I have and I am continuing to cooperate with the relevant people on matters to the best of my ability which will be addressed after my return from work.”
The Sun revealed Katie will undergo £10k worth of surgery during her time in Turkey.
We told how she is having surgery on her eyes and under her chin in Istanbul after her usual surgeon refused to carry out the work for her.
An insider said: “Katie was determined to change her face again and when her usual clinic in Brussells said no, she made new arrangements.
“Katie has no intention to face the music back in the UK any time soon and is even thinking about extending the trip.”
