KATIE Price joked "you must be bored of me by now" as she arrived at court for a third time this year over an alleged F-word rant at her ex-husband's girlfriend.
The mum-of-five was originally due to appear at Crawley Magistrates Court on March 13 but instead skipped it for a luxury Thailand holiday with lover Kris Boyson.
She was slammed by District Judge Amanda Kelly, who blasted: “I believe she hasn’t turned up today. She has something better to do.
"This demonstrates a lack of respect for the court process."
Price arrived back in the UK two days ago after enjoying two weeks of breakfast in bed, water sports and and a Thai cooking class – but is now due in court this morning.
The mum arrived for her hearing today hiding behind shades and wearing a fur jacket and matching hat, baggy leather trousers and ankle-high black boots.
She joked with photographers that they "must be getting bored" of her as she left a black Mercedes van accompanied by a camera crew and two pals.
It is the third time this year she has appeared in court – once for crashing her car while nearly twice the limit and another time for driving while disqualified.
The latest charge relates to an alleged playground row where she screamed "Are you enjoying f***ing my husband” at ex Kieran Hayler's new girlfriend.
'PLAYGROUND ROW'
The model had come face-to-face with Michelle Pentecost when she arrived to pick up their children Jett and Bunny last September – just hours after Price jetted in from party resort Magaluf.
Cops were called after shocked parents went to the school head to demand a ban on the celebrity mum collecting her children.
The charge sheet alleges she used “threatening or abusive words or behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress”.
Ex-husband Kieran had been caring for his two children with the Loose Women presenter, while her other ex-husband Peter Andre looked after Princess, 11, and Junior, 13.
Kieran was said to have started dating Michelle after meeting at the primary school their children attend.
DENIED SPECIAL TREATMENT
Price's dressing down by the judge last week is not the first time the former glamour model has been slammed in court.
In January this year, she was scolded by Judge Nigel Dean during a hearing into claims she was drink-driving while behind the wheel of her garish 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."
THIRD TIME IN COURT IN THREE MONTHS
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."
Today's appearance is the third court case Price has faced this year after admitting driving while disqualified in January.
It comes as her boyfriend yesterday denied threatening a police officer after Katie's car crash last October.
Boyson is charged with using threatening, abusive, insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause fear of or provoke unlawful violence.
Price was spotted in Thailand last week week despite racking up a staggering £2.1million of debts after staving off bankruptcy.
She jetted to South East Asia for the luxury getaway without any of her kids in tow.
