Katie Price has urged everyone to ‘be kind’ as she posted on Instagram for the first time since appearing in court after a dramatic 24 hours.

The former glamour model, 46, appeared remotely at a hearing in a specialist bankruptcy court after she was arrested at Heathrow Airport.

Police had been waiting for Price on the tarmac to return from her trip to Turkey with her boyfriend JJ Slater, 31, where she had a £10,000 facelift.

They were carrying out orders from a judge who last month issued a warrant for her arrest for failing to attend a previous hearing.

After her hearing yesterday, Price reposted a message from Jedward on Instagram, which appeared to refer to her legal woes.

They said: ‘Everyone please be kind to Katie Price. It’s a delicate situation and she deserves support and love.

‘Please be sensitive, she’s a human and mum with a massive heart and deserves respect. Sending strength to her kids and family.’

Price published a second post from the X Factor stars which read: ‘A true icon that has been through a lot we all need to lift her up in this fragile time! 

‘No one else could deal with the pressure and scrutiny! Let’s all surround Katie with Love.’

On Friday, Price attended court in London and was told by a judge at the hearing that there would be ‘no ifs, no buts’ and she must attend a ‘public examination’ on August 27.

The mother-of-five confirmed that she understood that she must attend and later added: ‘I will move my diary for it.’

The hearing was held at the Rolls Building, but Price attended via a video link from an office of High Court enforcement staff at the Royal Courts of Justice nearby after arriving on foot on Friday afternoon.

Wearing a beige outfit and a black head covering, she was accompanied by another woman throughout the hearing whom she described as an ‘appropriate adult.’

During the hearing, Price asked the judge whether she could attend the hearing later this month remotely as she said she finds it ‘difficult in a court’, saying: ‘Am I able to do it by Zoom or in a side room?’

‘No,’ the judge replied, adding that she could apply to attend remotely and ‘it does not take Einstein to do it.’

She said that she did not have legal representation, telling the court: ‘I have tried to get legal advice but have been charged £50,000 upfront.”

Price continued: ‘I can’t get legal aid because I earn. I don’t know what to do on this.’

She added: ‘I have been asking for legal representation for all of this and no one would do it.’

Price was first declared bankrupt in 2019, and in February this year was ordered to pay 40% of her monthly income from the adult entertainment website OnlyFans to the trustee of her bankruptcy until February 2027.

She was then made bankrupt for a second time in March due to an unpaid tax bill worth more than £750,000 owed to HM Revenue & Customs.

In May, the TV personality moved out of her £2million Mucky Mansion after reportedly being served an eviction notice.

She maintains that it was her choice to move out after reports of attempted burglary and an acid attack on her pink Range Rover.

Adding to the drama, bailiffs were seen at the sprawling property as she travelled to Belgium for her 17th boob job, as first reported by The Sun.
