Ms Price, a former glamour model, reality TV star, children's author and businesswoman was reportedly discharged from hospital on Monday.

She used to model under the name of Jordan, and was once said to be worth more than £40m.

The mother-of-five was declared bankrupt in 2019.

Last year, Ms Price told a hearing at a specialist insolvency and companies court in London that she had "lost everything".

She also said she suffered a "bad breakdown" in 2019 and spent five weeks in rehabilitation at one of The Priory clinics.
