Katie Price’s arrest on Thursday evening was far from typical, according to a body language expert.
The 46-year-old former glamour model was arrested upon her return to the UK from Turkey, where she had been sunning herself and undergoing more cosmetic surgery, despite knowing she would be arrested for skipping her latest bankruptcy hearing.
She was photographed in the back of a police van on Thursday evening, with the Met Police confirming they had arrested a 46-year-old woman at Heathrow Airport “at 19:45hrs on Thursday, 8 August for failing to appear at court” and stated she would appear in court on Friday. Body language expert Judi James, after analysing the images of the star at a police station, claimed Katie “looks frail” and seemed to have avoided a “more traditional arrest”.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Judi said: “Katie has always been known for being able to style it out under extreme circumstances and even these bizarre-looking arrest photos seem to show her applying some lip-gloss as she crouches down at the back of the police van.
“Her facial expression is unfathomable as it looks as though she is still healing from surgery so what looks like a smile at one point could be misleading. She raises an arm but it doesn’t look like the kind of gesture someone might use if they’re trying to hide their face from the camera as that would normally involve using the hand so she might be showing off some new tattoos instead.
“Crouching with a lip-gloss in one hand and what looks like a vape in the other she looks frail though and even the guards seem to have decided to allow her to take a moment rather than bundling her off in handcuffs or in the manner of a more traditional arrest.”
While Katie was spotted in the back of the police vehicle, partner JJ was seen wheeling the pair’s suitcases through the airport terminal. Katie had previously admitted she knew this time would come.
Taking to social media while still in Turkey, Katie said she hoped authorities would “allow [her] some dignity” in front of her son Harvey when she is arrested.
She wrote: “I am aware that I am about to be detained at the airport which is obviously what the courts feel is necessary. I do hope of course for my son’s sake who is with me that they will allow some dignity and protection for at least his sake as this will be extremely disturbing for him to see.”
It’s not yet clear where Harvey was at the time of the detainment.
An arrest warrant was issued for the mother-of-five, Katie Price, after she failed to appear in court on Tuesday, July 30. She was scheduled to provide evidence regarding her financial situation at a specialist bankruptcy court in London.
Katie was declared bankrupt in November 2019 and again in March this year. The mother-of-five had been explicitly warned that she could face arrest if she did not attend the most recent hearing.
