The London Insolvency and Companies Court was told that Katie, 45, owes £761,994.05 to HMRC.

This was after she was previously declared bankrupt in 2019 with debts of £3.2million.

But this time around, the former I'm A Celebrity campmate admitted she was “dealing with serious stuff.”

When The Pricey was questioned by the Daily Mail podcast and was told there was breaking news about her, she remarked: "Has it? Oh get lost… Are you actually serious, while I’m sat here? What have I done now?”

She explained to the pre-recorded podcast: "I know I had court, I think it was last week or the week before.

"Because of what’s going on in my life, I’ve actually been signed off because… I’m dealing with serious stuff.

"There’s all different kinds of bankruptcy, I think they just use the word ‘bankruptcy’. No-one actually knows the ins and outs of everything.

"And trust me, I don’t get away with stuff either. Like, you can’t, like tax, you can’t ever run away from, you have to pay. Don’t think I sit and don’t pay stuff, because I do."

The former Loose Women star reportedly did not even send a lawyer to the latest hearing, which is part of a long string of financial woes.

She now faces losing her £2million Sussex pad or she could see bailiffs come around to repossess anything that could help pay back the debt owed to the government department.

Court Judge Sebastian Prentis said she had not responded to HMRC over the debt and declared her bankrupt.

He commented: "There has been no response from the debtor. The papers are in order.

"There is substantial debt due from Ms Price to HMRC and therefore I will make a bankruptcy order.
