Bankrupt Katie Price swerves court AGAIN as she racks up £3.2m debt – despite insisting she’s NOT skint
KATIE Price has dodged a court hearing for a sixth time as a judge tries to bring an end to her bankruptcy case.
The Channel 4 reality star had been due to appear before the bench next month as she battles to save her so-called Mucky Mansion.
The planned hearing before an insolvency court in London has been shifted to the end of April.
Katie, 45, has dodged court for months after the case was moved half a dozen times since November 2021.
The reality star and model is battling to save her £2million Sussex pad after running up debts of £3.2million.
At the last hearing in September, Katie was expected to tell the court how she planned to meet her debts or else prove that she needs the property as crucial to her work.

But as she logged on to the webcam link, she launched into a rage against other people on the call before the hearing could even start.
Katie claimed members of the public were taking screenshots of her to "sl** me off" on "tattle sites".
Cameras are not allowed in court and screenshots of online hearings are also banned with anyone caught doing so facing potential jail time.
At the time, she told the judge: "Your picture has already been put on this tattle site and they are talking about it.

"My anxiety levels have gone up. There are people on here who shouldn't be on here.
"I'm just protecting you guys as well as myself."
A woman who attended the hearing online told the court she was just an interested member of the public, adding: "I have not put [up] any screenshots."
Katie shot back: "You are here to sl** me off. I'm scared to be on here because of these people.
"They are awful people. I get anxiety ... I'm petrified."
His Honour Judge Paul Greenwood then ordered everybody who was not part of the hearing to leave the call - admitting he had lost control - and it would be private.
He said: "I'm not entirely sure I can maintain control of the hearing or the dissemination of the hearing.
"I'm going to exclude everybody who is not party and hear these short directions hearing in private.
"I cannot be sure that the integrity of the hearing is not being affected by the broadcast.
"In order it should be capable of being conducted, I'm going to direct it is going to be in private."
He added: "Everyone who is not party must leave the meeting," as he later adjourned the case.
