Katie Price and JJ Slater have been spotted soaking up the sun in Ayia Napa at a luxury hotel after the glamour model ‘skipped her latest bankruptcy hearing.’
The Mucky Mansion star, 45, and her Married At First Sight boyfriend, 31, were allegedly seen relaxing at the five-star Adams Beach Hotel which boasts deluxe suites for £760 per night.
Katie posted a video running on a treadmill to her Instagram Stories, while JJ shared a photo of the pair’s feet in the gym.
The former I’m A Celeb star also shared a snap of two massage beds next to each other with the caption ”Looking after my mind body and soul’.
A tourist told The Sun: ‘I saw them checking in on Friday evening.
‘We saw them later in the bar as they were sitting near us. They were having food and drinks and seemed incredibly relaxed.

‘There was a lady singing at the piano bar. When I realised Katie should have been at a bankruptcy hearing, I was shocked.’
It comes as Katie’s assistant informed Judge Mark Mullen that the star could not attend her latest bankruptcy hearing citing ‘depression and anxiety.’
The mother-of-five, who was previously declared bankrupt in 2019, owes over £760,000 in an unpaid tax bill amid mounting legal issues.
Following her latest hearing, Darragh Connell, representing the trustees, told the court: ‘It is important that she is on notice of the fact that this is a possibility.
‘The respondent should be in no doubt that any future non-attendance without a reasonable excuse will constitute contempt of court and necessitate an application for a warrant for her arrest.’
In written submissions, he said Katie had been aware of the hearing ‘for a considerable period of time’ and her evidence ‘simply is not good enough’.

‘It is clear that the evidence filed very late is of a variety that is deeply, deeply unsatisfactory and we are in a very serious situation as a consequence,’ he continued.
‘In these circumstances, there is deep concern from the trustees that what is happening here is an attempt at the 11th hour to kick things off into the long grass and that should not be allowed to happen.’
Judge Mullen added: ‘It is a fact that those who do not attend without a reasonable excuse for public examinations are likely to be arrested.
‘It is important that Ms Price is under no illusion that just like any other bankrupt, she is expected to attend unless there are reasonable reasons why she should be excused.’
He said that ‘similarly brief’ letters had been sent for previous hearings, and there is a ‘consistent pattern of last-minute adjournments being sought on the basis of scanty medical evidence.’
