Katie Price’s boyfriend JJ seen for first time since she was arrested after pair’s Turkey holiday
KATIE Price’s boyfriend JJ Slater has been seen for the first time since she was arrested at Heathrow Airport.
Price was confronted by cops moments after the couple arrived back in the UK following a trip to Turkey last night.
The ex-glamour model is due to appear at the High Court in London this afternoon for a bankruptcy hearing.
It comes nine days after a High Court judge issued a warrant for her arrest when she failed to appear at court last Tuesday.
JJ and Katie had flown from the UK to Turkey hours before she had been due to appear as part of her £760,000 bankruptcy battle.
The couple jetted off with a film crew, who are documenting their latest cosmetic work.
Price underwent £10,000 worth of surgery on her eyes and under her chin in Istanbul after her usual surgeon refused to carry out the work for her.
JJ, meanwhile, shared a clip from his own procedure, showing him having his teeth done.
It comes as a source previously revealed Katie extended her trip over fears she would be arrested with staples in her face following the surgery.
They told The Sun: “Katie’s actually extending her holiday and plans to stay in Turkey longer.
“She’s worried she’ll be arrested at the airport when she lands back in the UK and will have to go to jail before the metal staples are taken out of her face.
“She’s really worried she’ll be arrested in front of Harvey, and that would upset her.
“She’s better off hiding out in Turkey and recovering there.”
Price herself said she was aware she would be arrested upon her return to the UK from holiday.
In a statement begging for son Harvey’s “protection”, she said: “I am aware that I am about to be detained at the airport which is obviously what the courts feel is necessary.
“I do hope of course for my son’s sake who is with me that they will allow some dignity and protection for at least his sake.”
Price added: “This will be extremely disturbing for him to see.
“Whilst I understand the importance and severity of the matter I do feel like I am being treated like a criminal.”
