An arrest warrant has been issued for Katie Price by a judge after she failed to attend a hearing relating to her bankruptcies

Ms Price was due to appear in court on Tuesday to face questions over her finances.

Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Catherine Burton said Ms Price had received “very clear warnings” that she must attend the hearing on Tuesday.

The former glamour model had not responded to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) over her debts, a court heard.

The demand for payment was made by HMRC last October.

Issuing the arrest warrant, Judge Burton said Ms Price had “failed to attend today’s hearing” and had provided no explanation for her absence.

Issuing the arrest warrant, Judge Burton said that Price had “failed to attend today’s hearing” and had provided 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.”

She continued: “The reason for her absence today is irrelevant.”

Previously, officials were seen at the sprawling £2,000,000 property as Price travelled to Belgium for her 17th boob job, as first reported by The Sun.

The former glamour model has previously denied eviction claims but moved out of the mansion last month after she suffered an acid attack on her Pink Range Rover.

Price has been quiet on social media, with her last post on Instagram showing her seemingly unfazed by the drama and eating a crisp sandwich.

At a hearing in February, Ms Price was ordered to pay 40% of her monthly income from the adult entertainment website OnlyFans to the trustee for the next three years, in relation to her first bankruptcy.

She was due to face questions on Tuesday related to her finances at a hearing known as a public examination, with barrister Darragh Connell, for the trustee, telling the court in written submissions that there “remains significant information missing as regards the bankrupt’s income and asset position”.

Speaking in court, he said the trustee does not “have any information as to her whereabouts”, adding that Ms Price “would not be kept in custody for a long period of time”, but would be detained to secure her attendance at a future hearing.

He said: “Her liberty is on the line, but unfortunately we are at the end of the road in relation to this matter.”
