Katie Price announces Christmas pantomime role amid bankruptcy hearing

Katie Price has announced a huge career move as she joins the cast of a pantomime in Liverpool over Christmas.

The former glamour model took to social media to share a first look of her in character after she recently dodged court again for her £3.25 million bankruptcy case. Katie, 44, appeared alongside her fellow cast mates to promote the show as she will be playing the wicked fairy Carabosse in Sleeping Beauty at the M&S Bank Arena.

The Mucky Mansion star donned a purple sequinned dress with horns, as she captioned the snap: "I'm beyond excited for this...Catch me as Carabosse in Sleeping Beauty at the M&S Bank Arena, Liverpool over Christmas."

This is Katie's first pantomime role since 2015, as it was teased earlier this year that she had a massive acting gig in the works. While the panto is family-friendly, it's been confirmed there will be an adults-only showing on December 27 later this year.

Katie's panto comeback was revealed back in January as a source told The Mirror at the time: "She’s most excited about landing a massive role in a pantomime. Katie loves to sing and perform, and panto is something she’s always been a fan of, so this is a dream come true.

"She has a range of new projects and businesses that she’s working on, and she’s got an accessories business in the pipeline, too."

This comes after Katie dodged court for a fifth time in her £3.2million bankruptcy case. The model was once worth a staggering £45million in her heyday but declared herself bankrupt in 2019.

Katie was expected to appear in person at the bankruptcy court in London last week and was going to be asked to explain how she plans to pay off her creditors.

The hearing was still scheduled to go ahead a week before, but court officials revealed the case had been adjourned at the last minute and a new date has now been arranged for July.
