Katie Price's boyfriend JJ Slater has been seen for the first time since his girlfriend's arrest at Heathrow Airport last night as he emerged from her house today
Katie Price's boyfriend JJ Slater has broken cover and emerged from her house amid his girlfriend's legal woes.
The reality TV star, who appeared on Married At First Sight last year, popped out of Katie’s house this morning to get some items from his car parked outside the property just hours on from Katie's arrest at Heathrow Airport last night.
JJ was seemingly in an upbeat mood as he flashed his abs and showed off his tan from Turkey as he walked towards his £45,000 Mercedes in nothing but a pair of pink board shorts and white baseball cap ahead of Katie's court appearance later today.
Katie was all smiles as she was arrested by police at Heathrow airport last night. The star had just arrived back in the UK after a trip to Turkey with JJ but the pair were quickly separated as she was detained by police. Katie and JJ, 31, had enjoyed a trip away with Katie's son Harvey, 22, however the mum-of-five was "aware" she would be arrested on her return to the UK after she skipped a bankruptcy hearing.
Despite warnings she faced arrest, Katie still went to Turkey for £10,000 cosmetic surgery, including a facelift. When she landed back on UK soil at Heathrow Airport, Katie was whisked off to a police cell before being bailed later in the evening. JJ was seen collecting their baggage from the airport and headed on home by himself.
Katie was met by two police officers as soon as she stepped off the plane. She could be seen smiling while wearing a bandage over her face. The mum-of-five walked behind the officers as her son Harvey was pushed by assistance officers in a wheelchair. Katie wore a white vest paired with black trousers, Nike trainers and a jacket tied around her waist.
JJ was spotted alone, pushing Katie's pink suitcases through the airport terminal. He was casually dressed in a white T-shirt and backpack, with a black hat perched on top of the luggage. Harvey was nowhere to be seen. JJ updated his social media followers just hours before her arrest hit the headlines.
In an Instagram post ahead of the former glamour model's abrupt detention, JJ was pictured beaming with the staff at Dentica International, expressing his contentment: "Amazing people, thanks so much." His snapshot, flaunting a pristine smile, featured him in the same white shirt he wore upon their return to British soil, standing with clinic personnel.
Just last week, authorities issued the warrant after she missed a session in a specialist bankruptcy court in London, where she was expected to discuss her financial situation. Having previously been declared bankrupt in November 2019, and again in March 2023, Katies legal and financial woes continue to unravel.
Despite knowing she could be facing jail time, Katie still flew to Turkey with her children JJ and Harvey for more cosmetic surgery. Last night, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that Katie had been arrested. The force stated: "A 46 year old woman from Surrey was arrested at Heathrow Airport at 19:45hrs on Thursday, 8 August for failing to appear at court. She has been remanded in custody at a west London police station."
Katie is due to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice today (Friday, August 9). Photos taken shortly after Katie's arrest show her exiting the back of a police van. She was dressed in a white vest top and black sporty bottoms, with her face heavily bandaged. In a social media post made just before her arrest, the mum-of-five acknowledged the seriousness of the situation she was in.
However, she expressed her frustration at feeling like she was being treated as a criminal - something she strongly disagreed with. In the now-expired post, Katie wrote: "I am aware that I am about to be detained at the airport which is obviously what the courts feel is necessary.
"I do hope of course for my son’s sake who is with me that they will allow some dignity and protection for at least his sake as this will be extremely disturbing for him to see. Whilst I understand the importance and severity of the matter I do feel like I am being treated like a criminal."
