Katie Price says she's 'discriminated' against as she gives update on bankruptcies
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Katie Price has expressed her frustrations over perceived discrimination following her two bankruptcies despite being recently discharged from them. The 47 year old ex-glamour model, who once boasted a £40 million fortune, has spoken candidly about her financial tribulations, which saw her face a significant tax debt exceeding £750,000 and led to two bankruptcies within a challenging six-year period. Despite clearing her debts last March and looking forward to future triumphs, Katie has faced ongoing issues. Last year, after leaving her 'Mucky Mansion', the mother of five disclosed difficulties with securing a new home, attributing this to estate agents harbouring a "black mark" against her due to her publicised monetary struggles. She recounted instances where agents told her properties had been let to others after she showed interest, only to find they remained available—a situation that leads her to sense unfair treatment as she attempts to rebuild her life. Speaking on her podcast, 'The Katie Price Show', Katie voiced her determination: "I love it how I have gone through all what I have because I will get there again." She expressed frustration: "I just have a problem with when you have been in a bankruptcy, you just can't get anything. It is so annoying because I earn such good money. I earn, like I did back in the day, really good money but it makes no difference if you earn the money." Katie explained: "Once you get that black mark against your name, there's nothing you can do. Even when I go to rent a house, as soon as they know its my name, it is discrimination.", reports the Mirror. "They are like 'Oh no, no' and I am like 'Oh is it because of what you've read?'. Does it really matter, I have got the money and I can pay upfront. It's the name that puts people off and it's such discrimination." Katie was initially declared bankrupt in December 2019 for one year. At the time, her worth was estimated to be £40 million.

She then agreed to make monthly payments of £12,000 to her creditors in an attempt to clear her debt. However, this was unsuccessful, and by July 2020, Katie found herself back in court for another bankruptcy hearing. She informed the court she was living in a rental property that cost her £4,200 per month. Then, in March 2024, during a brief hearing held at the Rolls Building, Insolvency and Companies Court in London, Katie was declared bankrupt a second time. During this hearing, it emerged that she owed £761,994.05 to HMRC, and the court found that she had failed to address this debt. Earlier this year, Katie announced her discharge from bankruptcy, expressing her relief: "I'm so happy. I can finally move on and leave these bankruptcies behind me, focusing only on the positive. Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this process."

Rangers to officially change name after takeover by US consortium completed
After the club were taken over by a US led consortium, Rangers are set to undergo a name-change, in a move which is provoking a lot of curiosity The parent company of Rangers FC is looking to rebrand following their acquisition of the club. The takeover of the Scottish giants by the US led consortium was officially completed on May 30. The takeover group, that is led by healthcare tycoon Andrew Cavenagh, purchased a 51 per cent controlling stake at the Glasgow giants, after the Scottish FA approved the move. The new owners are overseeing a transition from a public to a private company, pending shareholder approval later this month. Since November 2012, the Ibrox team has been known as 'The Rangers International Football Club PLC', but will now trade under the name 'Rangers International Football Club Limited'. This change ushers in a new era under chairman Cavenagh and 49ers enterprises, led by vice-chairman Paraag Marathe. The proposed shift will be put to a vote at the club's forthcoming Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), set for June 23 at Glasgow's Doubletree Hilton. To pass, the name change requires a 75 per cent approval rate. Despite their PLC status, Rangers were not publicly listed on the stock exchange. The transition to an LTD ensures shares cannot be offered to the public, providing an additional level of control for the new leadership, reports the Daily Record. The EGM will cover the move to the LTD company, informing shareholders about what they are voting on. Friday's big announcement covered the ordinary resolutions. This includes the allotment of nominal shares, a price that has been set in recent years for directors investing in Ibrox. The club is entering a new era with nine appointments to the revamped board, spearheaded by Cavenagh and Marathe. Patrick Stewart, Eugene Schneur, Andrew Clayton, Mark Taber, Fraser Thornton, John Halsted and George Taylor are the other seven who will play pivotal roles. In an open letter to the Rangers supporters, Cavenagh and Marathe said: "We are proud to be entering a new chapter for this extraordinary club. This moment is the result of months of thoughtful discussions with club leadership and our shared confidence in Rangers' success going forward. "To that end we'd like to tell you a bit about our thinking. Simply put - our goal is to win trophies in Scotland and be able to compete at a high level in Europe, while laying a foundation of financial sustainability for the future. "As our first step, we are investing fresh capital into Rangers, which will be strategically deployed on and off the pitch. While we recognise the importance of resources, we believe that thoughtful, disciplined investment, guided by a clear strategy, is the path to enduring success. "Every decision, whether sporting or business, will be made with the club's long-term success and sustainability in mind."
