Katie Price was arrested at Heathrow Airport last night for failing to appear at court after returning from undergoing a £10,000 facelift in Turkey.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The 46-year-old former glamour model was remanded into custody at a police station in West London to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice for a hearing today.
Photographs showed her being taken away by police after landing at about 7.45pm with her son Harvey, 22, and boyfriend JJ Slater, 31, who was left to pick up her bags.

Members of the airport’s assistance team were seen pushing Harvey in a wheelchair through a corridor in the terminal as he watched his mother being arrested.

WHY SHE WAS ARRESTED
The mother-of-five, who lives in Sussex, failed to appear in front of a judge on July 30 as a part her £760,000 bankruptcy court proceedings and instead flew to Turkey on holiday for her sixth facelift while staying at a £133-a-night five-star hotel.
Price was aware she would be detained at the airport but had asked police that they ‘allow some dignity and protection’ for Harvey, claiming it would be ‘extremely disturbing for him to see’.

In a statement posted to Instagram earlier this week, Price claimed she had been in Turkey filming a documentary.
She said on return from work, she would be ‘detained at the airport’ which is what the ‘courts feel is necessary.’

THE REQUEST SHE MADE
Discussing her son Harvey, Price asked that authorities ‘allow some dignity and protection for at least his sake as this will be extremely disturbing for him to see’.
While acknowledging the ‘severity’ of the matter, Price said she was being treated ‘like a criminal’ and declared the ‘unfortunate financial circumstance’ did not make her a ‘criminal or bad person’.
Defiantly, Price said she was ‘not embarrassed or ashamed’ regarding the arrest.
