Katie Price has been arrested at Heathrow Airport after failing to attend a court hearing relating to her bankruptcies.
Price, 46, from Surrey, was arrested at the airport on her return to the UK.
The former glamour model has been remanded in custody at a west London police station to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice on Friday.
On Thursday evening, the mother of five was photographed next to a police van with protective headwear around her surgery wounds.
It is understood she had been in Turkey for surgery after photos emerged of her at a hotel swimming pool with bandages on her bloodied face.

In April, Price was also told she could be arrested if she kept missing hearings.
Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Catherine Burton issued an arrest warrant in July, saying that Price had been given “very clear warnings” that she must appear.
Price was due to face questions about her finances from barristers – she was declared bankrupt in November 2019 and again in March this year.
Last week, Price insisted she was “not running from matters” and posted a statement on Instagram saying she could not attend because she was filming abroad.
In a lengthy post online, Price claimed the media was trying to cause “continued humiliation to myself and family” but was “neither embarrassed or ashamed” adding that: “I have to continue in my work in order to satisfy these bankruptcy orders.”
Issuing the arrest warrant, Judge Burton said Price had not explained her absence and that “she has no real excuse”, adding: “The reason for her absence today is irrelevant.”

Judge Burton also said Price had offered only “piecemeal co-operation” and failed to provide the “most basic information” in relation to her bankruptcies.
Price insisted she was “doing the best… to rectify things during extremely challenging times”.

At a hearing in February, she was ordered to pay 40% of her monthly income from the adult entertainment website OnlyFans to the trustee for the next three years, in relation to her first bankruptcy.
She was then declared bankrupt for a second time in March due to an unpaid tax bill worth more than £750,000.
Last October, she said she was “fed up” with being threatened with legal action and would go to prison to be “done with it all”.
Price also recently discussed her views on cosmetic surgery, saying there’s “nothing worse” than young women having cosmetic procedures such as boob jobs and face and lip fillers.
