Katie Price sent foul-mouthed ‘gutter s**g’ text to Kieran Hayler about fiancee before 1am arrest at Mucky Mansion
KATIE Price spent the night in a police cell after she sent a vile message to ex-husband Kieran Hayler about his fiancée.
The star, 43, could face jail after allegedly breaking a court order banning her from contacting Michelle Penticost, 39, “directly or indirectly”.
Police arrested Price at home at 1am yesterday and took her to Worthing nick, West Sussex.
Price could face jail for sending a foul-mouthed message to ex-husband Kieran Hayler — directed at his fiancée.
The former glamour model, 43, was spared prison last month after a drink-drive crash.
She was accused of breaking a court restraining order banning her from contacting Michelle Penticost “directly or indirectly”.
Michelle contacted Sussex Police on Friday to complain that Katie — mum to two of Kieran’s children — had sent him a tirade of abuse which was aimed at her.
Close sources said the text branded Michelle a “c***ing w***e piece of s***” and a “gutter s**g.”

Police interviewed Kieran, 34, and 39-year-old Michelle at their home before taking Katie into custody overnight.
The mother of five spent more than 12 hours at Worthing Police station before being released at around 3pm yesterday.
The drama comes days before appears in a new Channel 4 show giving a makeover to her notorious “Mucky Mansion” in West Sussex — and her life.
But she could end up behind bars if a court finds she breached her restraining order.
Cops could haul her back before magistrates if they suspect she has broken its terms and she may be charged with contempt of court.
It is classed as a criminal offence, punishable by a fine, community service or even jail.
A court will look at the reason the order was put in place originally, and this may impact the sentence she receives, if found guilty.
Sussex Police said: “At 5.45pm on Friday, police responded to a report that a suspect had breached their restraining order.
"Officers arrested a woman in her 40s who has been released under investigation while inquiries continue.”
Earlier that day, Katie was understood to have begun 100 hours of community service as part of her punishment for driving offences related to her crash.
But sources said, just hours later, Katie was enraged after seeing one of Michelle’s Instagram posts — which she interpreted as a direct attack on her.
The cryptic post read: “If someone treats you badly, just remember that there is something wrong with them.
"Normal people don’t go around destroying other human beings.”
TURBULENT LIFE
Katie then fired off her message. A source close to Michelle’s family said: “Katie was obviously livid and her words were vile.
"She called Michelle a ‘c***ing we piece of s***’. As if that wasn’t enough, she called her a ‘gutter slag’ too.
“Although the message was sent to Kieran, they both felt it was addressed to Michelle. So they got in touch with the police.
"Michelle is absolutely devastated, and feels very threatened.
"The message was incredibly aggressive. This has been a continuing tirade of abuse.
“Given the restraining order that’s in place, and the fact Katie is still on a suspended sentence, it’s extraordinary she decided to lash out like this — unprovoked, too.
“As the judge said at her sentencing (over the car accident), it seems she really does think she’s above the law.”
Katie was married to ex-stripper Kieran from January 2013 to March 2018, though their divorce was not finalised until last July.
They have two kids — Jett, eight, and Bunny, seven.
Kieran began dating mum-of-two Michelle after meeting at the primary school their kids all attend.
The pair went public in 2018.
But in June 2019 Katie was slapped with a five-year restraining order banning her from contacting Michelle after a foul-mouthed tirade at a playground.
'DESTROYING OTHER HUMAN BEINGS'
At Horsham magistrates’ court, the star admitted calling her a “f** c” multiple times in front of a group of young children.
Michelle said in a victim impact statement that she tried to avoid her partner’s ex at school because she felt “intimidated”.
The source added: “Michelle was relieved when the order was granted, because she felt she was protected from being abused like that again.
“Seeing those ugly insults from Katie this week has brought everything flooding back.
“She has been very upset and tearful, and has needed support. But she felt strongly she wanted to complain, otherwise she knows it may well continue.”
A spokeswoman for Kieran said: “We can confirm that an incident took place on Friday after which Michelle was left distressed by a tirade of abusive insults and threats.”
It is the latest twist in the turbulent life of reality star Katie.
In August, The Sun told how she was the victim of a violent attack.
A month later, she flipped her uninsured BMX X5 into a hedge near her home while disqualified and driving under the influence of drink.
She was given a suspended 16-week jail sentence because she complied with a requirement to attend The Priory —- despite going out shopping while staying at the facility.
'VILE MESSAGES'
Katie, also previously married to singer Peter Andre and kickboxer Alex Reid, is now engaged to former Love Island star Carl Woods.
Last week The Sun told how Kieran was to be quizzed by police over historic rape allegations after Katie made a claim in relation to another woman.
He is said to have immediately agreed to be interviewed, saying he was happy to co-operate and clear his name.
His spokesman said Kieran was “very saddened by the false allegations”.
Katie is due back in court this week over an unpaid bill of almost £7,500 in legal costs.
She is also scheduled to attend a bankruptcy hearing on February 14.
