Kieran Hayler’s fiancée Michelle ‘fears Katie Price will ATTACK her’ after she swerves jail over restraining order’
KIERAN Hayler's fiancée Michelle Penticost has confessed she's scared Katie Price will ATTACK her after the star swerved jail.
Katie, 44, breached a restraining order after sharing a "vile and nasty" message aimed at Michelle.
Mum-of-five Katie admitted the charge at Lewes Crown Court last month in a huge U-turn after previously denying it at magistrates court.
She has now dodged jail despite a judge warning she was "at risk" of going to prison.
Now Michelle has admitted she fears for her safety after former glamour model Katie walked free.
In a victim impact statement read out in court today, Michelle said: "The impact of what Miss Price has done has had a detrimental effect on my mental wellbeing.

"The language used has made me scared. I worry and am scared she will attack me. I thought that having a restraining order would make me feel safe."
Today Katie was ordered to complete an 18-month community order,
170 hours unpaid work and pay £1,500 costs.
Speaking outside court a spokesperson for the Michelle and Kieran said: "We are incredibly disappointed with the result of today’s court hearing.
“We feel a custodial sentence would have sent the right message to the public given the seriousness of Miss Price’s offending."
Nicholas Hamblin, representing Katie, said she had been under a "misunderstanding" that the restraining order "worked both ways".
He also claimed she was "over-reacting as she felt she was being criticised".
Mr Hamblin added: "Katie didn't start it".
The court was told she has struggled with a "depressive disorder and anxiety" and sought help from the Priory.
Katie is already on a 16-week suspended sentence for drink driving after she flipped her BMW in a horror smash in September.
