She had reportedly just flown back from Turkey
Katie Price has been arrested at Heathrow Airport after failing to attend a court hearing relating to her bankruptcies.
The former model was photographed on Thursday evening next to a police van after she returned to the UK and has been remanded in custody at a West London police station.
She will appear at the Royal Courts of Justice later today.
She was pictured next to the police van at Heathrow airport wearing protective headwear around her surgery wounds after it was reported she had flown to Turkey for surgery.
Price was declared bankrupt in November 2019 and again in March this year, and was due to face questions about her finances from barristers.
The 46-year-old was warned back in April that she would be arrested if she continued to miss hearings and Insolvency and Companies Court Judge, Catherine Burton issued an arrest warrant in July.
Last week Price insisted she was not running away from the situation and told followers on Instagram that the reason she could not attend was due to filming commitments abroad.
Ina lengthy statement she claimed the media was trying to cause ‘continued humiliation to myself and family’. She said: “I have to continue in my work in order to satisfy these bankruptcy orders.”
However, images taken earlier in the week show Price at a hotel swimming pool with bandages on her face.

Judge Burton said Price had not explained her absence and added: “The reason for her absence today is irrelevant.”
The Judge said Price had failed to provide the ‘most basic information’ in relation to her bankruptcies.
However, Price insisted she was ‘doing the best… to rectify things during extremely challenging times.’
At a hearing in February, she was order to pay 40 per cent of her monthly income from her OnlyFans account to the trustee for the next three years, in relation to her first bankruptcy.
A month later she was declared bankrupt for the second time due to an unpaid tax bill worth more than £750,000.
Last October she said she was ‘fed up’ of being threatened with legal action and would go to prison to be ‘done with it all’.
