Katie Price has reportedly left her kids “mortified” with her arrest warrant.
The 46-year-old TV star has sparked concern after she failed to show up for her latest bankruptcy hearing, having jetted off to Turkey for more surgery. The ex-glamour model had been due to face questions about her finances in the London hearing on Tuesday (July 30).
But Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Catherine Burton revealed she had “failed” to attend with no explanation for her absence. She 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. The reason for her absence today is irrelevant.” She said an arrest warrant was not issued “lightly” but that Price had offered only “piecemeal co-operation” and failed to provide the “most basic information” in relation to her bankruptcies.

It’s now claimed her children Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, are “mortified” by their mum’s legal drama and fear negative press will halt their own success in the industry. A source told The Mail: “Junior and Princess are now old enough to see right from wrong.
“They are well adjusted, they have grown up in a household where there have been boundaries. So seeing their mum behaving like this is difficult for them, it’s sad. Junior is in the studio getting ready to release music and Princess is getting offered work all over the place but they are so anxious that all they will be asked about is Katie. She is out of control.”

Katie has claimed she is in control of the situation and hasn’t been “running” from her bankruptcy issues. She wrote: “I have and 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.
“Despite consistent stories trying to humiliate me on my personal misfortunes, I am neither embarrassed or ashamed. I own my situation and I am trying my best to work my way out of it and put matters right.” She continued: “I am not running from matters.”

The court had heard that the former glamour model had travelled to Turkey – and a now-deleted Instagram story showed her eating a sandwich on a flight. Her boyfriend, Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater, shared a snap inside a five-star hotel in Turkey.
Pricey was declared bankrupt in November 2019 and again in March this year due to an unpaid tax bill worth over £750k. At a hearing in February, she was ordered to pay 40% of her monthly income from the adult entertainment website OnlyFans to a trustee for the next three years.
