Katie Price has made it clear that she was "not embarrassed or ashamed" by her arrest in a lengthy social media message. The former glamour model, 46, was arrested this Thursday (August 8, 2024) evening, as she landed back in the UK from Turkey, where she underwent a £10k face lift . A warrant for her arrest had been sent out after she'd failed to show up to a bankruptcy hearing last month , while she was expected to give evidence about her finances before a specialist bankruptcy court in London.
While she shared an insight into her latest trip with Married At First Sight star John Joe Slater , the mum-of-five was well aware of the arrest warrant in her name, prompting her to share her thoughts ahead of her arrest on Instagram . Although she admitted she was fearful, particularly for her son Harvey , she admitted that she didn't feel "embarrassed or ashamed" by her ordeal. She wrote: "I would just like to thank everyone that has been showing support and compassion to my situation this week with my pending arrest.
Despite what has been misreported I am now in route [sic] back from filming my documentary. I was never just abroad being ignorant to what's going on and I stand by the facts, which is that there has been miscommunications here between a number of people here to do with my bankruptcy." "However now I am returning home from work, & 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." Katie Price argued that she was "being treated like a criminal", though she recognised "the importance and severity of the matter." "I would like to point out once again that this is to do with a very unfortunate financial circumstance which as hard as it has been does not make [me] a criminal or bad person.
Millions of people suffer losses and go through bankruptcy's [sic], through many different reasons and mine was due to serious mental health issues and breakdowns from PTSD." "Whilst [sic] it's been hard, I repeatedly will stand by the fact that I am not embarrassed or ashamed that this has happened to me. People loose [sic] their lives every day over the embarrassment and fear of these situations and the public bullying I've endured on this matter is simply not ok.
I will continue to speak out on this and not be ashamed." Katie also wrote: "I will address this with the police and courts when I land and I ask for my son Harvey's sake it's handled with care and compassion. I am after all only a human being.
I appreciate all of you that continue to show me love it means a lot." Following Katie Price's arrest, a Met Police spokesperson said: "A 46-year-old woman from Surrey was arrested at Heathrow Airport at 19:45hrs on Thursday, 8 August for failing to appear at court. She has been remanded in custody at a west London police station to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice tomorrow, Friday, 9 August.
