Katie Price could miss her sister Sophie’s wedding on Saturday 25 June as she faces being jailed after she pled guilty to breaching a restraining order.

Model Katie, 44, is set to be sentenced on Friday 24 June – a day before her sister Sophie is due to walk down the aisle and wed her long-term partner Harry Brooks.

Mum-of-five Katie entered a formal plea of guilty to breaching a restraining order during a hearing at Lewes Crown Court on 25 May, after she previously plead not guilty to a single charge of breaching a restraining order on 27 April and requested a crown court trial.

During the hearing, Judge Stephen Mooney addressed Katie and her counsel following the plea and warned the former glamour model she is “at risk of going to prison”.

Speaking in court, Judge Mooney said: “Clearly you have accepted responsibility for an offence.

“You have pleaded guilty and you are aware that you committed that offence while you were subject to a suspended sentence and you are at risk of going to prison.

“Your lawyer says there is a lot of information relating to the background of this offence and the offence which led to you receiving the suspended sentence.

“I will need to know about the relevant parts of the background.

“Be under no illusions, I am adjourning for a pre-sentence report but you do run the risk of receiving a custodial sentence.”

Katie’s lawyer Nicholas Hamblin argued the I’m A Celebrity star should avoid prison once more because only two words “tell your” in the alleged text breach the restraining order.

He said: “Were it not for those two words in the message this would not be a breach.”

The TV personality is currently serving a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months after she admitted to drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance after a crash near her home in September last year.

When the sentence was handed down, District Judge Kelly told Katie she was “extremely lucky” to have avoided prison as he sentence was deferred so she could get treatment at The Priory rehabilitation centre.

She added: “You deserve to spend Christmas behind bars.”

Katie was handed a 16-week suspended prison sentence, 100 hours of unpaid work in the community as well as a further two years added to her driving ban.

Speaking in a video from the passenger seat of a car on her Instagram stories on Monday morning, Katie told her 2.7m followers: “Happy Monday! I hope everyone has a good week.

“I know I’ve got an exciting week, all family family this week,” she said before letting out a big cheer.

Katie’s little sister is set to walk down the aisle with her long-term partner Harry Brooks this week.

Model Katie’s five children are all set to take part in the nuptials as they have all been asked to be ushers and bridesmaids.
