Katie Price paddle-boarded on Thai holiday when she was supposed to be in court over f-word rant at Kieran Hayler’s new girlfriend
The mum-of-five failed to show up at Crawley Magistrates Court and enjoyed her luxury holiday instead
KATIE Price struck yoga poses on a paddle-board in Thailand while she was supposed to be in court over an f-word rant at her ex-husband's new girlfriend.
The mum-of-five, 40, failed to show up at Crawley Magistrates Court yesterday and was slammed by a judge for "a lack of respect" as she continued her luxury holiday with boyfriend Kris Boyson.
Katie was charged her over an alleged playground row where she is said to have screamed "Are you enjoying f***ing my husband” at ex Kieran Hayler's new girlfriend.
The former model wore a low-cut swimsuit with an array of fluro-coloured panels as she joked with her paddle-board instructor.
Kris held the back of the board while Katie showed off her skills in a sequence of moves that displayed her surgically-enhanced figure.
The on/off couple are currently enjoying a break at luxury hotel Celes Beachfront Resort on the island of Koh Samui.
District Judge Amanda Kelly said yesterday: "I believe she hasn’t turned up today. She has something better to do. This demonstrates a lack of respect for the court process."
The case was adjourned for next week while Price finishes her lavish holiday.
Last September she came face to face with Kieran Hayler’s new lover Michelle Pentecost when she arrived to pick up their children Jett and Bunny.
Cops were called after shocked parents went to the school head to demand a ban on the celebrity mum collecting her children.
The row allegedly took place on the first day of her children’s new school year - just hours after Katie jetted in from party resort Magaluf.
A charge sheet accused her of using “threatening or abusive words or behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress”.
Kieran was said to have started dating Michelle after meeting at the primary school their children attend.
Earlier this month Price threatened to take her children out of the school, reportedly saying she feels like the "black sheep of the playground".
The alleged blast left the former glamour model feeling "really awkward about collecting them [the kids] every day”, it is said.
Katie was once said to be worth £40million, but is thought to have blown a fortune on partying, surgery and luxury holidays.

It is not the first time the former glamour model has been slammed by a judge.
In January this year, she was scolded by Judge Nigel Dean during a hearing into claims she was drink-driving her pink Range Rover.
She was later cleared of the allegation but convicted of the lesser charge of being drunk while in charge of a vehicle and given a £1,500 fine and a three-month ban.
At the hearing, the 40-year-old had asked to keep her address confidential - with her lawyer saying she was hoping to become "anonymous".
Her solicitor said: "The position is she has been trying to become anonymous for some time."
But District Judge Dean denied the request for special treatment, saying: "I think the public and members of the press are entitled to know the address of the defendant.
"All defendants are treated equally."
She was spotted in Thailand this week despite racking up a staggering £2.1million of debts after staving off bankruptcy.
She jetted to South East Asia for a week-long luxury getaway without any of her kids in tow.
Harvey, 16, whose dad Dwight Yorke isn't involved in his life, has been left with salon owner and plus-sized influencer Louisa Roy.
Last month Katie revealed she was putting Harvey into residential care because he is too much of a handful for her to look after full time and was scaring his siblings.
