Katie Price was left red-faced when her credit card was declined at a busy tube station – but it had nothing to do with her financial troubles.
The former glamour model, who was declared bankrupt in 2019, revealed on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, that the awkward situation occurred because her nine-year-old daughter Bunny Hayler had been using her card for online shopping. The 45-year-old star explained: “Let me tell you why [my phone] wasn’t working – I have someone called Bunny Hayler, my nine-year-old daughter, who’s onto the site called Temu and she’s connected my card to Temu.”
“So when my card is unlocked in the app, she knows how to order stuff, so I have to keep locking it. So when you keep locking and unlocking it, sometimes it can take two to five minutes to register. So there we are at a busy [tube] station and I’m like ‘Soph, it’s fine – it only takes a minute’ but this particular day it took about 10 minutes for it to unlock. So by the time we went on and got a ticket and came back, my card was working again but it was too late. That was the start.”

Bunny, who Katie shares with Kieran Hayler, has been a help as well as a hindrance to Katie as she recently helped her realise she was suffering from a subconjunctival haemorrhage – a rupture in her eye that made it look like her eye was filling with blood. The youngster noticed the condition and alerted Katie to it – although she didn’t believe her youngest daughter at first.

Detailing the incident, Katie told her sister Sophie on the podcast: “I woke up to get Bunny ready for school at seven in the morning. She was going, ‘Mum, mum, your eye’s bleeding’. I said, ‘What do you mean, my eye’s bleeding?’ She went, ‘It is, inside your eye’. And I thought, ‘Is she winding me up?’ cos she’s always pranking me.”

“And then I looked in the mirror and I was like, ‘S**t, what the f**k’s happened to my eye?’ I thought I can’t leave my eye like this, I don’t know what it is, I’ve never seen it before in my life, what’s it bleeding and what’s happened? I just woke up like this.”
“There are a lot of stresses behind the scenes in my life, like, not work stuff. I love the work, but other stuff that I’m dealing with. Everyone has stress, I just wish my stress didn’t show in my eye.” Katie then quickly went to see a doctor who told her the haemorrhage was due to stress.

The NHS says subconjunctival hemorrhage might look scary and can be caused by high blood pressure or straining when you cough or sneeze. But sometimes they happen out of the blue, for no clear reason. Luckily, they get better on their own over time.
