Katie Price FaceTimes Harvey from evening out in Bangkok after avoiding jail

Katie Price has already started celebrating her freedom as she calls home after her latest jail time escape act.

The star and her fiancé Carl Woods have jetted off to Thailand and she is already clearly already missing her family.

Troubled Katie, 44, has been spotted outside her Bangkok hotel, taking in the sights hours after landing in the country.

She jumped on FaceTime as she went for a walk, sporting a light pink vest and denim shorts as she spoke into her phone.

The mother-of-five was hard to miss in her bright pink shoes as she enjoyed a stroll on her own.

Calling her son Harvey back home, she then jumped in a rickshaw ride for a quick and fun ride around the bustling city.

Katie, who has already been on five holidays this year, is said to be filming a new travel TV show.

There was no sign of car salesman Carl, who the star reunited with earlier this year after reports of a split.

She was able to go on her getaway days after she avoided a prison sentence.

After appearing in court on June 24 for breaching a restraining order, reports suggest she booked the trip before being told she wouldn't be spending time behind bars.

Instead, she was handed an 18-month community order at Lewes Crown Court to carry out 170 hours of unpaid work after admitting breaching a restraining order.

She got in trouble after sending an abusive message to her ex-husband Kieran Hayler about his fiancée Michelle Penticost.

Katie branded Michelle a “c***ing whore” and a “gutter s**g” in the text message sent to her ex-husband in January this year.

When her verdict was being delivered, Judge Stephen Mooney told Katie on Friday how in his judgement the offence was "committed out of anger" and the breach could not be "considered minor".

"In my judgement, balancing the aggravating and mitigating factors, the appropriate sentence is a medium-level community order," he added when letting the star know her fate in the courtroom.

Kieran and his wife Michelle delivered a statement after the verdict was made.

They admitted they were 'incredibly disappointed' by the verdict after Katie admitted the breach.

'We feel a custodial sentence would have sent the right message to the public given the seriousness of Miss Price's offending," Kieran said.

Katie was first slapped with a five-year restraining order which forbids her from contacting her ex-husband's partner, directly or indirectly, after she admitted to using abusive language in 2019 towards Michelle at the school gates.
