Katie Price Skips Court for Cyprus Holiday, Sparks Backlash Amid Bankruptcy Battle
Bankruptcy Battle Turns Toxic
Former glamour model Katie Price is in hot water again over her second bankruptcy case. The 45-year-old was due in the High Court to face questions about her finances but vanished instead—heading off on holiday to Ayia Napa with boyfriend JJ Slater.
The no-show didn’t go down well. Judge branded her last-minute excuse of “health issues” as “scanty” and showed scepticism over her mental health claim.
Katie Cites Mental Health Struggles
Taking to her podcast, The Katie Price Show, Price hit back at critics. She revealed her consultant at The Priory signed her off from court appearances. “I was mentally not strong enough to face the court, especially with all the media and public attention,” she explained.
Katie insisted her Cyprus holiday wasn’t a carefree fling but a vital break from the mounting pressures surrounding her financial chaos.
Legal Threats Loom Large
Her defiance comes with serious risks. Barristers for the trustees handling her bankruptcy warned that missing future hearings without acceptable reasons could lead to arrest. Price owes more than £750,000 in unpaid taxes and debts to creditors, a financial mess she says she’s fighting hard to fix.

The Katie Price case highlights the brutal crossroads of celebrity life, crippling debt, and mental wellbeing. Supporters and critics alike remain glued to developments as the reality star faces potential legal consequences for putting her wellbeing before the court.
