Arrest Warrant Issued for Katie Price After Missing Bankruptcy Hearing

British media personality and model Katie Price is facing legal troubles after an arrest warrant was issued for her on Wednesday. The warrant was issued by a court in London after Price failed to attend a hearing related to her bankruptcy case.

According to court documents, the 46-year-old Price, who was declared bankrupt in 2019, was due to appear at the Rolls Building, a court that specializes in bankruptcy and company matters, on Monday. However, she failed to attend the hearing, prompting the court to issue a warrant for her arrest.

A spokesperson for the Insolvency Service, the government agency responsible for investigating bankruptcy cases, said in a statement: “We can confirm that a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Katie Price. We are unable to provide further comment at this time.”

Price’s financial troubles have been well-documented in the British media. She first avoided bankruptcy in 2018 by agreeing to a repayment plan with her creditors, but ultimately failed to keep up with the payments and was declared bankrupt in November 2019.

As part of the bankruptcy agreement, Price was required to regularly disclose details of her income, assets, and expenditures. However, she has reportedly failed to comply with these terms on multiple occasions, leading to criticism from the insolvency practitioner overseeing her case.

In recent months, Price has faced a series of personal challenges, including a car accident in September 2021 that left her with serious injuries and the breakdown of her engagement to Carl Woods earlier this year. She has also spoken openly about her struggles with mental health and substance abuse issues.

Despite her legal troubles, Price remains a prominent figure in the British media landscape. She rose to fame in the 1990s as a glamour model and has since appeared in numerous reality TV shows, including “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” and “My Crazy Life.” She has also written several bestselling books and launched her own range of beauty and fashion products.

It is unclear where Price is currently located, and her representatives have not yet provided a statement regarding the arrest warrant. The warrant remains active until Price appears before the court to explain her absence.
