Fears as Katie skips rehab after 4 days for a wedding PRIORY SNUB STAR ‘ON THIN ICE’

- By Halina Watts SHOWBIZ EDITOR

TROUBLED Katie Price skipped rehab to attend a pal’s wedding just FOUR DAYS after starting treatment.

The model and TV star beamed as she stood alongside bride Abigail Scott – her manicurist.

But friends fear her very attendance at the nuptials showed that she isn’t taking her treatment at The Priory seriously.

A fellow wedding-goer said: “Katie was on top form and was having a great time.

“She didn’t seem like a woman who was in rehab.”

Katie signed up to a 28-day rehab stint after being diagnosed with comorbid post traumatic stress disorder.

And a pal stressed: “The fact it is only 28 days and she’s allowed to leave with a curfew isn’t helping her.

“It’s all on her terms. I had a similar treatment and it didn’t work at all. She needs to go to the States.”

Another friend added: “Katie is skating on thin ice, everyone thinks she isn’t taking this seriously at all, and that it is not going to work.”

Tight

Former Loose Women star Katie took the decision to enter rehab after family and friends were left horrified over footage that emerged of her cavorting with two German men in Majorca.

In the footage she was heard rapping: “I love coke.”

Katie, 40, later broke down during crisis talks about her behaviour and lifestyle and admitted she desperatel­y needed help to stop her self-destructiv­e behaviour.

It has been reported that the Priory has put Katie on a curfew but allows her home in the evenings to care for her children.

She is banned from social media and has had her phone confiscate­d – though she was carrying one at Friday’s wedding in Horsham, West Sussex.

Katie – godmother to the kids of bride Abigail and groom Greg Teasdale – wore a tight-fitting black trouser suit.

An even tighter red blouse matched her painted finger nails – quite possibly done by the bride herself.

Onlookers told how Katie arrived in a black Range Rover eight minutes after Abigail – and left before the official photograph­s were done.

Doctors will take Katie in for residentia­l treatment if she is considered a threat to herself, or fails to follow the clinic’s strict rules.

Mum-of-five Katie’s struggles come in the wake of her split from third husband Kieran Hayler, 31, earlier this year.

She has also repeatedly clashed with first husband Peter Andre, 45, over care of their two children. Meanwhile we can reveal Katie is facing fresh woe at the hands of her second husband Alex Reid, 43.

He is hoping Kieran will back him in his well-publicised revenge porn claims against ex-glamour model Katie.

Former cage fighter Alex claimed Katie played a phone clip to a TV show audience showing him in drag and performing an act with a sex toy. Katie was quizzed by cops about the allegation­s in April.

The ex-husbands have been in contact but sources close to Kieran said that he wouldn’t be able to help while he is still married to Katie.

Alex hopes this will change when the pair finalise their divorce. Yesterday Kieran gave an explosive interview in which he claimed Katie cheated on him with two well-known footballer­s at the end of their five-year marriage.

He also spoke about other frictions in their marriage and said he may reveal more “one day”.
