Katie Price has explained the unexpected reason her credit card was declined while she was trying to board the London Underground - and it had nothing to do with her financial woes.
The 45-year-old mother-of-five - who was declared bankrupt in 2019 - may have feared the worst as her card was declined. But it turns out it was down to her young daughter Bunny, aged nine, who uses her card to go online shopping.
Katie is a proud mum to Bunny along with 21-year-old Harvey, 18-year-old Junior, 16-year-old Princess, and 10-year-old Jett. But it seems Bunny may be the most tech and credit-card savvy of the bunch as she has connected Katie’s card to an online app - prompting the former glamour model to go to great lengths to keep her money safe.
When it came to boarding the tube, Katie was left in a flap as her protection protocols kept her card details locked - and she was left flailing at the turnstile in the middle of rush hour while trying to get it to work again.

"So when my card is unlocked in the app, she knows how to order stuff, so I have to keep locking it. So when you keep locking and unlocking it, sometimes it can take two to five minutes to register. So there were are at a busy [tube] station and I'm like 'Soph, it's fine - it only takes a minute' but this particular day it took about 10 minutes for it to unlock.
"So by the time we went on and got a ticket and came back, my card was working again but it was too late. That was the start."

Bunny noticed the condition and alerted Katie to it - although she didn't believe her youngest daughter at first.
Detailing the incident, Katie told Sophie: "I woke up to get Bunny ready for school at seven in the morning. She was going, 'Mum, mum, your eye's bleeding'. I said, 'What do you mean, my eye's bleeding?' She went, 'It is, inside your eye'. And I thought, 'Is she winding me up?' cos she's always pranking me.
"And then I looked in the mirror and I was like, 'S**t, what the f**k's happened to my eye?' I thought I can't leave my eye like this, I don't know what it is, I've never seen it before in my life, what's it bleeding and what's happened? I just woke up like this.
"There are a lot of stresses behind the scenes in my life, like, not work stuff. I love the work, but other stuff that I'm dealing with. Everyone has stress, I just wish my stress didn't show in my eye."
Katie explained that she then rushed herself to see a doctor who told her the haemorrhage was stress-induced. Why subconjunctival haemorrhages might look alarming, and the NHS warns the condition can be: "caused by high blood pressure or by straining when you cough or sneeze, but it can also happen suddenly, for no apparent reason." However, the condition will heal on its own over time.
