Katie Price could be jailed for rant to ex Kieran Hayler that breached restraining order

Katie Price has been warned she could be jailed for a rant that breached a restraining order.

She sent ex-husband Kieran Hayler a message in January calling his new partner Michelle Penticost a “c***ing whore” and a “gutter slag”.

Former glamour model Price, 44, is banned from contacting Ms Penticost directly or indirectly under the terms of a five-year restraining order imposed in 2019.

Price today pleaded guilty to indirectly breaching the order. She had denied the charge in court last month. Her message said: “Tell your c***ing whore, piece of sh**, girlfriend not to start on me...

“I’m sure she doesn’t want people knowing she [had] an affair with you behind my back. That gutter s**g.”

The offence hinged on Price using the words “tell your”, which was an indirect attempt to communicate with Ms Penticost, it was said at Lewes crown court in East Sussex.

Judge Stephen Mooney told Price: “You are at risk of going to prison.”

The offence carries a maximum sentence of five years in jail. Nicholas Hamblin, defending, suggested mental health issues may have led to Price sending the message.

It was previously heard the rant might have been triggered by an Instagram post by Ms Penticost, which she has denied was aimed at Price.

Price, supported by fiance Carl Woods, 33, was bailed and will be sentenced on June 24.
