Katie Price ‘packing her bags for holiday’ and is ‘ready to party’ after swerving jail AGAIN for gutter s*** text
KATIE Price is ‘packing her bags for holiday’ and has told her pals "I’m ready to party" after swerving jail AGAIN for her gutter s*** text.
The former glamour model, 43, dodged a prison sentence today after she breached a restraining order when she sent a message aimed at Michelle Penticost to her ex Kieran Hayler.

The ex-glamour model could have been jailed for a maximum of five years for breaching the restraining order.
But today she was instead handed an 18-month community order, 170 hours unpaid work and £1,500 costs.
And now Katie is getting ready to jump on a plane and leave the rest of her stresses behind her.
A source said: "Katie's packing her bags today and will be off on holiday in a matter of hours.

"It never even occurred to her to cancel - she was so confident she wouldn't be jailed.
"She's told friends she's ready to party after a stressful few weeks."
The reality star spent 12 hours in police custody after being arrested at her mucky mansion in January.
She messaged Kieran: "Tell your c****** w***e, piece of s**t, girlfriend not to start on me.

"She has a restraining order so shouldn't try to antagonise me as she is in breach and I'm sure she doesn't want people knowing that she was having an affair with you behind my back. That gutter s**g."
Sentencing, Judge Stephen Mooney said the offence was "committed out of anger" and branded the words "highly offensive and inflammatory".
In an emotional victim impact statement, Michelle said she fears Katie will attack her and worries for her son.
The mum added: "The impact of what Katie has done is very upsetting, I feel threatened and intimidated.
"I feel demoralised and not wanting to go out. The language used made me feel scared. I felt it was an attack on me.
"The consequences are I feel she will attack me. I felt by having a restraining order it would make me feel safe but by someone breaching it it has made me feel very vulnerable."
Nicholas Hamblin, representing Katie, said she had been under a "misunderstanding" that the restraining order "worked both ways".
He also claimed she was "over-reacting as she felt she was being criticised".
Mr Hamblin added: "Katie didn't start it".
The court was told she has struggled with a "depressive disorder and anxiety" and sought help from the Priory.
Katie is already on a 16-week suspended sentence for drink driving after she flipped her BMW in a horror smash in September.
A person can be recalled to prison for the length of their suspended sentence if they were to breach the terms of their licence.
Usually a court will focus on the new crime that has been committed when sentencing and take the original term into consideration as an aggravating feature.
In this case, Katie could have been jailed for five years with the 16 weeks running concurrently or potentially on top of the main sentence.

Katie was slapped with the five-year order in 2019 after she called Michelle a "f***ing c***" during a tirade at the school gates.
She was forbidden from contacting Michelle "directly or indirectly".
