Katie Price is due back in court today for a bankruptcy hearing and faces being arrested if she fails to turn up again.
The former glamour model, 46, is expected at the Royal Courts of Justice in central London this morning over her finances.
She was previously arrested at Heathrow airport on August 8 over a failure to attend a hearing in relation to her enormous £760,000 debt.
Price was in court the morning after her arrest where the judge said she must appear on August 27 with ‘no ifs or buts, no going abroad, no holidays’.
She confirmed she understood and promised to move her diary in order to attend the hearing.

Price was arrested upon her return to the UK from Turkey nearly three weeks ago and remanded in custody at a west London police station. She was then bailed a few hours later by an out-of-hours magistrate.
She arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice the next day where she turned up wearing a beige outfit and black head covering to conceal her injuries caused by a £10,000 facelift she had in Turkey.
Deputy Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Daniel Schaffer ordered the model to give an ‘undertaking’ to the court that she would attend a further hearing to face questions over her finances on August 27 at 10.30am.
Price confirmed that she understood she must attend and later said: ‘I will move my diary for it.’
It led to Judge Schaffer discharging the arrest warrant issued against her on July 30 by a different judge after she failed to attend a previous hearing.
Price previously said she was ‘not running from matters’, but was ‘away working for a documentary on corrective surgeries’ during the court hearing.
In a now-deleted statement on Instagram, Price 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.
‘Whilst I understand the importance and severity of the matter I do feel like I am being treated like a criminal.’
Photographs from August 8 show the former model being taken away by police after landing at about 7.45pm with her son Harvey, 22, and boyfriend JJ Slater, 31, who was left to pick up her bags.
Members of the airport’s assistance team were seen pushing Harvey in a wheelchair through a corridor in the terminal as he watched his mother being arrested.
Price, whose head was covered in bandages, was later seen sitting on the edge of a police van before applying lipstick and taking a few puffs of her vape.
The mother-of-five, who lives in Sussex, failed to appear in front of a judge on July 30 as a part her £760,000 bankruptcy court proceedings and instead flew to Turkey on holiday for her sixth facelift while staying at a £133-a-night five-star hotel.
Price was aware she would be detained at the airport but had asked police that they ‘allow some dignity and protection’ for Harvey, claiming it would be ‘extremely disturbing for him to see’.
In a statement posted to Instagram, Price claimed she had been in Turkey filming a documentary.
She said on return from work, she would be ‘detained at the airport’ which is what the ‘courts feel is necessary.’
Discussing her son Harvey, Price asked that authorities ‘allow some dignity and protection for at least his sake as this will be extremely disturbing for him to see’.
While acknowledging the ‘severity’ of the matter, Price said she was being treated ‘like a criminal’ and declared the ‘unfortunate financial circumstance’ did not make her a ‘criminal or bad person’.
Defiantly, Price said she was ‘not embarrassed or ashamed’ regarding the arrest.
She explained that her bankruptcy was due to ‘serious mental health issues and breakdowns from PTSD’.
She added that she would be paying back debtors and hoped for ‘Harvey’s sake it’s handled with care and compassion’.
Her statement came after she was ordered to pay £25,000 after being declared bankrupt twice.
A judge at a previous hearing said Price risked arrest if she did not attend further court dates, adding evidence must be provided if she could not appear.
Issuing the arrest warrant , Judge Burton said she 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 continued: ‘The reason for her absence today is irrelevant.’
Judge Burton said that an arrest warrant was not issued ‘lightly’ but that Price had offered only ‘piecemeal co-operation’ and failed to provide the ‘most basic information’ in relation to her bankruptcies.
