Katie Price no-show at bankruptcy court hearing

Ms Price has been declared bankrupt twice
- Published
Katie Price has failed to show up in court to find out if more of her income will go directly towards paying off money owed under her two bankruptcies.
The former glamour model from Sussex was declared bankrupt in November 2019 and again in March last year, and the bankruptcies have since been discharged.
However, the mother-of-five, who did not attend the hearing in London on Friday and was not represented, still owes money as a result and had previously reached a voluntary agreement over her debts.
Last August Ms Price was warned by a judge about her non-attendance, after she was arrested for failing to show up for a previous hearing on the matter in July.
Barrister Darragh Connell, representing trustees, told the specialist court she has not paid the arranged £12,500 a month.
Mr Connell asked Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Sebastian Prentis to make an income payments order, which means money would go from any salary towards Price's outstanding debt.
The order relates to 10 companies.
However, the judge asked for more evidence to be provided to the court about Price's "reasonable domestic needs".
Last August, a judge ruled that Price's income from social media platform TikTok be suspended as part of efforts to pay off her debts.
And in February last year, a judge at a specialist bankruptcy court ordered that she must pay 40% of her monthly income from the adult entertainment website OnlyFans until February 2027.
The next hearing will take place later in the year, on a date to be confirmed.
