Katie Price dodges bankruptcy hearing AGAIN as case is delayed until 2024

Ex-glamour model Katie, 45, attended a virtual hearing last week where she was due to lay bare her financial situation.

But a bizarre moment saw the judge admit he was losing control of proceedings due to other people on the video call.

The Sun can reveal she is now due to appear in February next year.

Mum-of-five Katie has failed to keep up with her monthly repayments of £1,200 to clear the hefty sum owed to multiple creditors.

Despite being officially declared bankrupt, she splashed out £1.3m on her Sussex home – dubbed Mucky Mansion – nine years ago.

The pad is now worth over £2m – with trustees handling her bankruptcy debating whether or not to sell in order to settle the debts.

Well-known celeb Katie was expected to present her case today and tell the court how she plans to meet her debts or else prove that she needs the property as crucial to her work.

But as she logged on to the webcam link, she launched into a rage against other people on the call before the hearing could even start.

Katie claimed members of the public were taking screenshots of her to “sl** me off” on “tattle sites”.

Cameras are not allowed in court and screenshots of online hearings are also banned with anyone caught doing so facing potential jail time.

She told the judge: “Your picture has already been put on this tattle site and they are talking about it.

“My anxiety levels have gone up. There are people on here who shouldn’t be on here.

“I’m just protecting you guys as well as myself.”

A woman who attended the hearing online told the court she was just an interested member of the public, adding: “I have not put [up] any screenshots.”

Katie shot back: “You are here to sl** me off. I’m scared to be on here because of these people.

“They are awful people. I get anxiety.

“I’m petrified.”

His Honour Judge Paul Greenwood then ordered everybody who was not part of the hearing to leave the call – admitting he had lost control – and it would now be private.

He said: “I’m not entirely sure I can maintain control of the hearing or the dissemination of the hearing.

“I’m going to exclude everybody who is not party and hear this short directions hearing in private.

“I cannot be sure that the integrity of the hearing is not being affected by the broadcast.

“In order it should be capable of being conducted, I’m going to direct it is going to be in private.

“Everyone who is not party must leave the meeting.”

Legal notices previously placed on Katie’s property prevent her from selling the home herself.

A previous short hearing at a specialist insolvency and companies court in London was told public examination over her finances was adjourned.

Katie did not attend on that occasion and was not represented.

But trustees asked for a re-listing of the questioning after she breached a payment agreement, according to barrister Darragh Connell.

Last month, Katie insisted that she “isn’t broke” during a Q&A on a TikTok live with her followers.

She said: “I live in my own £2.2million house, I own it, nobody can ever take it away from me.

“I wouldn’t call that broke, would you?”

She later addressed the subject again, saying: “I’m not poor actually, totally the opposite, but thank you.”

And in January, she said that being declared bankrupt was “not the end of the world”, adding: “Lots of people go into bankruptcies, and I think it’s quite good that I am in a bankruptcy – it’s made me re-value things.

“Everything in my life is now in place, never be embarrassed about being in a bankruptcy.”

Katie films much of her OnlyFans content from her property in West Sussex and also featured it in her Channel 4 reality series Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion.
