Katie Price ignores jail threat by hunting down holiday bikini for day before court

Brazen Katie Price turned a blind eye to her impending court date by trying to get her hands on a bikini for an apparent holiday despite the threat of prison looming large.

The mum-of-five, 44, is due in court on June 24 after pleading guilty to breaching a restraining order against her ex-husband Kieran Hayler’s fiancee Michelle Penticost.

Former glamour model Katie says she needs the specialist-sized swimwear for ten days' time - June 23.

She is alleged to have texted Kieran in January, calling partner Michelle a "c***ing w***e piece of s***" and a "gutter s**g".

Judge Stephen Mooney has recently warned Katie she was "at risk" of going to prison.

But despite the court date being little over a week away, she uploaded a plea to Instagram saying she needs the items next week.

She wrote: "Hi, I desperately need to find swimwear for myself bikinis tops size XXL bottoms 8-10.

"Underwear bra size 34g bottoms 8-10 need them in ten days."

She returned this afternoon to say she isn't looking for a freebie - as she "always pays her way".

It appears she is all set for Ibiza, despite what's going on.

She is flogging a make-up class on the Spanish party island despite facing the legal threat back home.

Taking to Instagram with a video of her sporting a bikini surrounded by excitable looking women, she wrote: "I'll be in Ibiza on 15th July.

"If you ladies are on your holidays, hen dos, make sure you get tickets to my ultimate summer makeup masterclasses."

In December, Katie was given a 16-week prison term suspended for 12 months and 100 hours of community service after pleading guilty at Crawley Magistrates' Court to drink-driving, driving without insurance and while banned from the roads.

A judge told her at the time that she was lucky to not be spending Christmas behind bars.

Announcing her sentence, District Judge Amanda Kelly said: "When you chose to get behind the wheel that night you showed no concern for others.

"You could have killed somebody. Your actions meant the emergency services had to use up their precious time. You knowingly and deliberately flouted a court order and not for the first time.

"You seem to think you are above the law."

Katie has been rolling out the tutorials all over the country as she takes her mind of the latest police issues.

Classes cost fans £80 per session in which the artist formerly known as Jordan joins forces with professional make-up artist Fern Howe-Shepherd.

However uptake for the sessions is said to have been embarrassingly low, with just seven guests reportedly turning up to a bash in Bradford.

Several fans were staggered by the cost of the tickets, with one musing: “Seriously, £80 to look like her? No thanks, I’ll pass.”
