Katie Price has revealed she’d turn to escorting in order to fix her financial woes.
The glamour model, 46, is currently in Turkey recovering from her sixth facelift while a warrant is out for her arrest after she failed to appear at her £760,000 bankruptcy court hearing.
Yet the mother-of-five has come up with a plan to dig herself out of her financial hole, and revealed the plan in her autobiography, This Is Me.
Katie penned: ‘Bankruptcy doesn’t hold the same fear now I can see a way out of it. If material stuff is taken from me, I know I can earn it back.
‘I will get into escorting if I need to, not to sleep with the men, just for company. To be on their arm. I think I’d be good at that.’
Katie concluded: ‘My mum would tell me I need to work on my table manners first though. And by the way, that is a joke.’
The TV personality’s home – dubbed the Mucky Mansion – has gone on sale for an asking price of £1.5million after Katie was evicted from the property in May, in the midst of her bankruptcy woes.
She had purchased the pad in Horsham, West Sussex for £2million in 2014, but had many problems with the home over the years, including break-ins, structural issues, and reports of ‘seeing ghosts’.
The star’s home was repossessed after she was declared bankrupt for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill, and she has since moved into a £5,000 per month new Tudor-style property.
Katie was absent at a scheduled £760,000 bankruptcy court hearing on Tuesday, having flown overseas to Turkey to undergo facial surgery.
An arrest warrant has since been issued, with Katie admitting she’s ‘doing the best she can’ to rectify her financial issues after receiving ‘very clear warnings’ that she needed to attend court.
In a statement posted on Instagram on Tuesday, Katie wrote: ‘Whilst I’m currently aware of the severity of my current personal financial situation with my ongoing bankruptcy, I am today shocked that whilst away working for a documentary on corrective surgeries that I should find myself yet again headline news.
‘The media in my opinion once again are trying to cause continued humiliation to myself and family.’
Katie wrote in her autobiography: ‘I will get into escorting if I need to, not to sleep with the men, just for company. To be on their arm. I think I’d be good at that’
She continued: ‘There are far greater and more pressing issues going on around the world that are more important and I’m sure most people are bored reading stories that are constantly misrepresented.
‘I am continuing to cooperate with the relevant people on matters to the best of my ability which will be addressed after my return from work.
‘Despite consistent stories trying to humiliate me on my personal misfortunes, I am neither embarrassed or ashamed. I own my situation and I am trying my best to work my out out of it and put matters right.’
Katie added that she is currently going through ‘challenging times’ and is doing ‘the best I can’ for the sake of her family.
She wrote: ‘I have to continue in my work in order to satisfy these bankruptcy orders which is all I am trying to do right now. I am however not running from matters and will continue to take matters with great seriousness.
‘I am doing the best I can to rectify things during extremely challenging times. Once again I would like to highlight there are far greater and more news worthy stories.
‘I will continue to work on my mental health disorders for the sake of myself and my family and do the best I can.’
In May, Katie claimed on her own podcast that she has been signed off from appearing in court for her mental health, after receiving backlash for missing her last bankruptcy hearing to go on holiday to Cyprus.
She had been due to give evidence about her finances at the High Court in May, but at the start of the hearing, lawyers said that she had told them at the last minute she couldn’t attend due to health issues. A judge described this excuse as ‘scanty’.
Katie then jetted off on holiday to Ayia Napa with her MAFS star boyfriend JJ Slater , facing public backlash after being spotted sunbathing together by the pool.
Taking to her podcast, The Katie Price Show , Katie hit back and claimed she had been signed off from court because she was ‘mentally not strong enough’.
She said: ‘Everyone is like “oh she’s missed bankruptcy and she’s gone on holiday!” No, let me address it.
‘The court knew that I wasn’t going to my bankruptcy, because mentally – my consultant at The Priory – I’ve been signed off for any kind of activity for court.
‘I’m mentally not strong enough at the moment to stand in court, be cross examined in front of the media and public.’
She went on: ‘I am taking my bankruptcy so serious, like I do everything else. It’s a very serious situation I’m in and it does look like “oh she’s just gone on holiday”.
‘No, my head at the moment needs a break. I had four days in my diary where I was able to go away.
‘When I say I’m not mentally able and stable to stand in court at the moment because I have a lot of things going on behind the scenes I’m dealing with.
‘Hence, I haven’t been on TikTok for months, since December, I’m only doing what my body and brain will let me do at the moment.’
She continued: ‘I am taking the bankruptcy seriously. It’s not like I’ve jetted off on a bloody five star holiday. I’m not in a £760 a night hotel.
‘It’s not my fault that my friend came to this hotel a week before me and told them that I was coming and to look after me. So when I came here they upgraded me for nothing, this holiday was actually a very cheap holiday.’
Katie then added that she wouldn’t be going to her next hearing and that she was getting a signed letter to allow her not to appear.
She said: ‘There is another court hearing and I won’t be going to that either. I want everyone to know I’ve had a letter from my trustees.
‘Before I went away on holiday I had an hours conversation with my trustees who handle both of my bankruptcies and explained fully my situation. Since then I’ve had a letter from them and a letter from court.
