She appears to be brushing off her latest bankruptcy, but insiders tell Closer that Katie Price’s inner circle have deep concerns about her
Declared bankrupt for a second time, owing over £761,000 in unpaid tax, Katie Price failed to show up to the court hearing last week after yet another roller-coaster few months that insiders say have left her friends fearful things have once again reached a desperate state for the star.
Earlier this month, the former glamour model was fined £880 for driving without a licence and insurance while on a two-year driving ban. It followed a spate of new surgeries and partying for the troubled mum, who was ordered into rehab by a court in 2021 after a shocking drink-drive car crash.
SIGNED OFF
A source tells Closer, “The constant court cases are not good but Katie won’t accept that there are consequences. Whenever she gets bad news, she tends to laugh it off and try to carry on as normal but her closest friends are starting to worry this could be her downfall. “Her mum, sister and friends tell her to stop glossing over her problems, but time and time again she struggles to do that. Katie just acts like it’s funny or blames her ADHD.”
The former Page 3 model, 45 – also known as Jordan – only discovered her latest bankruptcy when she was told during a recording for a podcast last week.
After questioning, “What have I done now?” when informed a news story about her had broken during the recording, Katie tried to justify her absence from court, saying, “I know I had court last week or the week before. Because of what’s going on in my life, I’ve actually been signed off because I’m dealing with serious stuff.”
Insisting that there are “different kinds of bankruptcy”, she added, “And trust me, I don’t get away with stuff either. Like you can’t – tax you can’t ever run away from, you have to pay. Don’t think I sit here and don’t pay stuff, because I do.”
SHORTAGE
In another interview, Katie – who is mum to disabled son Harvey, 21, Junior, 18, Princess, 16, Jett, 10, and Bunny, nine – said she hasn’t been able to attend court for mental health reasons.
“There’s a shortage of ADHD meds, that don’t help, I can’t get hold of any,” she explained when discussing her no-show.
Mum-of-five Katie has had multiple run-ins with the law over the years, predominantly for driving offences.
However, Katie chose to shrug off her legal woes. In fact, the same day she was declared bankrupt we spotted Katie at a VIP bash where we saw her partying with her new boyfriend MAFS UK st
