KATIE Price will appear in court today charged with harassment via breach of a restraining order

Price, 43, will appear before magistrates in Crawley this morning accused of allegedly sending an abusive text to her ex-husband’s fiancee Michelle Penticost.

Mother of five Price was given a restraining order banning her from contacting Michelle “directly or indirectly” after swearing at her in a school playground in 2019.

The reality star was arrested on January 21 this year over the claims.

She spent the night in a cell after being interviewed by officers at Worthing Police station who had earlier picked Katie up from her home in Horsham after a report was made.

According to The Sun, breaching such an order carries a maximum prison term of five years.

Price also risks jail time for being arrested while still on licence for her drink-drive crash.

Price avoided jail in December when she was handed a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for a year, as well as a two-year driving ban after admitting drink-driving while disqualified.
