Katie Price has dodged jail again – and has been getting ready to fly off on holiday.
The model admitted breaching a restraining order by sending an abusive text to ex-hubby Kieran Hayler about his new love.
In the “highly offensive and inflammatory” message she called Michelle Penticost a “c***ing wh*re”.

It broke an order barring the 44-year-old mum-of-five from contacting Michelle, which breached a suspended jail sentence imposed for a drink-drive crash last year.
Judge Stephen Mooney had warned Price she was “at risk” of prison. But at Lewes Crown Court yesterday he gave her a community order to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.

She must do an additional 20 hours for breaching the suspended sentence and pay £1,500 costs.
Last night a spokesman for Kieran and Michelle said: “We are incredibly disappointed.
“We feel a custodial sentence would have sent the right message given the seriousness of Miss Price’s offending.”
Price was last night “packing her bags for holiday” after telling pals: “I’m ready to party.”
A source said the star, who turned up to court in a green tracksuit clutching a furry handbag, had booked the trip before she was sentenced.

“Katie’s packing her bags today and will be off on holiday in a matter of hours,” they said.
“It never even occurred to her to cancel – she was so confident she wouldn’t be jailed.
“She’s told friends she’s ready to party after a stressful few weeks.”
Six months ago another judge said Price thought she was ‘above the law’ as she escaped with a 16-week suspended sentence and two-year road ban – her sixth – after flipping her BMW on a country lane near her home at 6.20am while nearly twice the drink-drive limit after taking cocaine.

Price admitted drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance.
But because JPs deferred sentencing for three months so she could check into The Priory for treatment District Judge Amanda Kelly said she could not now jail her as she had a `legitimate expectation’ rehab would spare her from custody.
Kieran was married to Price for eight years from 2013 and has two children with her aged five and six.
