Katie Price breaks silence in tense court appearance following arrest

Katie Price has vowed she will attend court for the next hearing after a judge threatened her with jail, promising: "I'll move my diary for it."

The model, who arrived at court with her head wrapped in bandages following facial surgery, complained: "Stop harassing me!" as she walked towards the entrance with a Louis Vuitton bag held in front of her face. However, she received support from former X-Factor star twins Jedward, who urged people to be "kind" towards her.

One Instagram Story featuring a picture of the trio, which was published today, read: "Everyone please be kind towards @katieprice it's a delicate situation and she deserves support and love. Please be sensitive, she's a human and mom with a massive heart and deserves respect.

They added that they were "sending strength to her kids and family". In another frame, where the twins stood either side of the pyjamas and tiara-clad model, they added: "A true icon that has been through a lot. We all need to lift her up in this fragile time!

"No one else could deal with the pressure and scrutiny. Let's all surround Katie with Love." Their words of encouragement come as Katie has been warned by a judge of the consequences of skipping another court hearing.

She was told in no uncertain terms: "No ifs and no buts, no going abroad and no holidays!"

The 46-year-old told the judge that she couldn't "hear properly or see much" as she appeared in court with black bandages tightly wrapped around her face following the face lift surgery she had in Turkey.

She also clarified that she had no legal representation due to her financial struggles.

Katie had flown back to Britain on Thursday, where she was arrested in front of eldest son Harvey and remanded in custody at a West London police station, before being bailed last night.

She said today that she would prefer to attend her next hearing remotely, but received no special treatment from the judge.

Katie told Judge Schaffer that she "finds it difficult in court" but was advised that she'd have to make a special application for permission to do so, and urged to get herself legal counsel.

She claimed: "I tried to get legal advice but I've been charged £50,000 upfront. Now being in bankruptcy at the moment, the bankruptcy is taking 40 per cent. I'm finding it difficult to do that. I can't get legal aid because I earn."

However, the judge replied that a solicitor should cost no more than £500.

He also told her: "This is a discreet application. It doesn't take Einstein to do it."
