KATIE Price is undergoing £10,000 worth of surgery in Turkey this week – while a warrant is out for her arrest.
The 46-year-old skipped court today to answer questions about her finances after being declared bankrupt twice and has opted to travel abroad instead.
The Sun can reveal that Katie is having surgery on her eyes and under her chin in Istanbul after her usual surgeon refused to carry out the work for her.
And despite being wanted back in the UK, Katie is said to be ‘in no rush’ to return home.
An insider said: “Katie was determined to change her face again and when her usual clinic in Brussells said no, she made new arrangements.
“Katie has no intention to face the music back in the UK any time soon and is even thinking about extending the trip.
“She is with JJ and her close friend, who is getting a tummy tuck, so she feels happy being away from the drama back home.”
Earlier today JJ revealed the pair were visiting a dental clinic and we can now reveal that Katie had her back veneers fixed because they keep falling out.
JJ also revealed they’re staying at the five star Sheraton Istanbul Atakoy Hotel.
Katie had previously spoke about getting ‘her face done’ on a holiday with Harvey, but it is unclear if he has joined them.
In a Q&A with her sister, she said: “I’m taking him on holiday next week because I’m having my face done.”
Surgery fan
Speaking in her new tell-all book, This Is Me, Katie asserted she preferred going to Turkey for any plastic surgery, saying the UK was “too expensive and not up to date” and “not liking the amount of aftercare” given by the US.
She explained: “You can’t ever accuse me of not being completely honest about how it can look when you have surgery because I share the hideous photos so that people can see the reality.”
Katie also explained that her five children have become used to seeing her post-surgery, so the bruising and stitches no longer scare them.
The reality star admitted earlier this month she had plans to get more procedures, acknowledging she may have body dysmorphia after years of nips and tucks.
Speaking to Heat World she said: “I’m not content now, I’m having more surgery next week. My mum says I’ve got body dysmorphia.
“I don’t ever look in the mirror and think I look good. I never have done.
“So, there’s obviously an underlying issue.”
Just last month she had her boobs reduced, saying at the time: “I’ve decided I’m going to have my boobs made smaller because they do make me look bigger, and I have messaged the surgeon already, and to be honest I’ve been going to the gym, and yeah I’ve decided.”
Court trouble
Katie was due to attend court today to answer questions about her finances after being declared bankrupt twice.
After Katie was a no-show at the hearing,Judge Catherine Barton said: “It is in my judgment necessary that the court issue a warrant for Ms Price’s arrest.
“She has no real excuse in failing to attend today’s hearing.”
Katie is battling a £760,000 unpaid tax bill after being declared bankrupt for a second time in March.
She was served an eviction notice ordering her to leave her £2million Mucky Mansion by the end of May as bailiffs swooped.
The court was told Katie was paid £84,000 by TikTok to create content for three months – but blew the lot.
