Katie Price reacts to second bankruptcy

-

LOS ANGELES - Katie Price has reacted to being declared bankrupt for a second time over an unpaid tax bill, while speaking exclusivel­y to the Mail’s comedy podcast ‘Straight to the Comments!’.

The former glamour model’s second bankruptcy was revealed on Monday, after the star, 45, failed to pay over £750 000 in unpaid tax - and will now face losing her home unless HMRC can recover the money.

Katie failed to appear at a court hearing in London to explain why she has not paid any money to HMRC.

A judge at the High Court ruled that she be declared bankrupt after an official from HMRC said she has failed to pay any money owed or responded to any correspond­ence since the demand was made for the unpaid tax last year.

Katie was speaking to ‘Straight to the Comments!’ when the news broke, which embraces the hilarity and uniqueness of the MailOnline comment section with the celebs in question, with her episode to air next week.

When told there was a new story about her, Katie gasped in shock and said: ‘Has it? Oh get lost! Are you actually serious, while I’m sat here? What have I done now?’

After hearing that she had been declared bankrupt a second time, she said she had been signed off because of ‘serious stuff’ in her life.

She said: ‘I know I had court last week or the week before. Because of what’s going on in my life, I’ve actually been signed off because I’m dealing with serious stuff.’ Katie went on to claim that she ‘doesn’t get away’ with not paying, insisting that she is making payments.

She said: ‘There’s all different kinds of bankruptcy, I think they just use the word bankruptcy. No one actually knows the ins and outs of everything.

‘And trust me I don’t get away with stuff either. Like you can’t - tax you can’t ever run away from, you have to pay. Don’t think I sit here and don’t pay stuff because I do.’
