A judge has ordered the suspension of Katie Price's income from TikTok as part of ongoing efforts to recover debts from her two bankruptcies. The former model was declared bankrupt in November 2019 and again in March 2024, and is due to face questioning over her finances later this month.
At a remote hearing on Monday, Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Catherine Burton ruled that the suspension was 'appropriate' until a solution can be found to ensure payments are directed to the trustee. Price was not present and was not represented at the hearing.
In February, Judge Burton ordered Price to pay 40% of her monthly income from the adult entertainment website OnlyFans into a bank account chosen by the trustee. That order was extended in July to cover eight other income sources.
Darragh Connell, representing the trustee, told the court that 'while some progress has been made', investigations were ongoing into how TikTok could comply with the order. He expressed 'real concern' that 'potentially substantial sums' could flow to Price from TikTok without the suspension, making recovery difficult.
Lauren Kreamer, representing TikTok, said the platform had paid Price £84,000 for a three-month agreement to create e-commerce content, plus smaller payments believed to be commissions. She stated TikTok was 'endeavouring to comply' and not being obstructive.
Price is due to appear in court on 27 August to face questions about her finances, after a warrant was issued for her arrest when she failed to attend an earlier hearing. She was arrested at Heathrow Airport on 8 August.
