Katie Price’s ‘mental wellbeing’ means bankruptcy case MUST be heard behind closed doors, court told

Описание: KATIE Price's bankruptcy hearing must be held in private due to her "mental well-being", a court heard today.

The ex-glamour model, 46, had been due to answer questions about her finances at the High Court today.

But a judge granted a request to adjourn the hearing until next month and said the interview could be held behind closed doors.

Chief Insolvency Judge Nicholas Briggs also confirmed Katie must attend and hand over requested documents a week before the meeting or faces arrest.

Bertie Boer-Roberts, representing the star, had asked for the case to be heard in private due to Katie's "mental well-being".

He added: "Her condition would be exacerbated by public examination.”

The lawyer also argued Katie had been "compliant" and was aware she had missed several court hearings.

Katie, who wore all-black and big sunglasses, will be grilled over her money woes on September 24.

The case will then return to court for a public hearing next year after a December date was ruled out due to Katie starring in a pantomime.

She was previously issued a stark warning from a judge that she must attend today's hearing after repeatedly swerving court.

An arrest warrant was issued in July after she jetted to Turkey for a face lift instead of facing her financial woes.

Katie was detained as she landed back at Heathrow Airport and hauled before the court with bandages still covering her face.

Informing her of today's hearing, Judge Schaffer told the mum-of-five she must attend court and provide documents when asked.

He said: "You have to attend that date, no ifs or buts, no holidays, no going abroad, you have to attend that date."

The judge warned Price that she faced being arrested again if she failed to comply.

The reality star is battling a £760,000 unpaid tax bill after being declared bankrupt for a second time in March.

She was served an eviction notice ordering her to leave her £2million Mucky Mansion by the end of May as bailiffs swooped.

In July, the court was told Katie has failed to cough up a £25,000 payment she owes, followed by monthly instalments of £12,500.

Katie was supposed to hand over her six cars - a Volkswagen Beetle, a Nissan, two Range Rovers, Suzuki Vitara and Infiniti FX50 - on July 5.

She also indicated she would hand over her pink Range Rover but has so far failed to do so.

The court was told Katie was paid £84,000 by TikTok to create content for three months - but blew the lot.

It was decided her income from the social media app would be suspended last week in a separate hearing.
