Bankrupt to ‘£45k A MONTH'

Woman’s Own columnist Dawn Neesom gives her view on Katie Price’s incredible financial U-turn

If there’s one thing certain about Katie Price it’s that you never know what she’s going to do next.

The 42-year-old was declared bankrupt in November 2019 and appeared, via Skype, at the Insolvency and Companies Court last month.

And in true Katie style the story that emerged was astonishing.

Not only did the mum of five reveal she’d recently suffered a ‘bad breakdown’ and spent five weeks in celebrity rehab clinic the Priory – at a mere £5k a week – she went on to say she’d ‘lost everything’.

Well provided you didn’t include the £1.3m Sussex mansion, trendy Beetle car and horse she owned.

And there was the small matter of her still earning approximately £45,000 a month.

Whoa. Hold on there. We all know Katie’s motto is ‘the Pricey is always right’, but when the price concerned is an income of over half a million quid a year you have to ask yourself, how the hell is she bankrupt? And how on earth is she still earning it?

A TOUGH TIME

Even by Katie’s standards the last 18 months have been chaotic. As well as her bankruptcy hearing her eldest son Harvey – who she had with footballer Dwight Yorke – spent two months in intensive care with a mystery illness. As Harvey, 18, also suffers from an array of problems including partial blindness, Prader-Willi syndrome, autism, and learning and behavioural difficulties, it was obviously a worrying time.
