It sounds like it’s been a hellish few weeks for Katie Price. Not only is her marriage to Kieran Hayler floundering, but she’s also had to sack off dates on her talking tour amid reports she’s received threats that her son Harvey will be kidnapped.
And things don’t seem to be getting any better for the former glamour model – she’s now announced that she’ll be postponing ALL of her remaining dates until 2018.
The mother-of-five was set to play venues including Folkestone, Brighton, Manchester and Wimbledon, ending her tour in December.
But she’s issued a social-media statement explaining that “threats” and “personal circumstances” have forced her to reschedule.
In a message posted on the Facebook page of Leas Cliff Hall, Folkestone, where she was due to play this Saturday, she wrote: “Due to recent threats and events with my personal circumstances, I have made the decision to postpone my remaining tour dates until next year.
“I hope that ticket holders can make the new dates and can’t wait to see you all next year.”
She also shared the news to her own Twitter account.
Problems first arose on the tour last month, when the 39-year-old postponed a show in Manchester.
At the time, she issued a statement saying: “Unfortunately, I have been left with no choice than to postpone my show in Manchester this evening due to an urgent family matter involving the police and one of my children.”

The Sun reported that an email had been sent to her management company from an anonymous source, warning that Harvey, 15, would be harmed unless Katie gave them £50,000 and an Armani suit.
It was said that they’d also threatened to reveal details of Kieran’s extra-marital affairs.
The newspaper quoted her as saying: “I’m terrified. This is clearly a blackmail threat, and I need to be at home with my family.”
However, in a social-media post on Monday, Katie revealed that she was in Turkey having dental work done.
Alongside a picture of her beaming into the camera, complete with cute filters, she wrote: “So here I am at the Dental Centre in Turkey about to get rid of these teeth.

“For a new pair – because these are 10 years old, and I can’t wait for the new smile!”
It was later reported that she’d left her kids at home with Kieran. And some fans reacted with cynicism.
One tweeted: “She cancelled her tour because of kidnap threats, or a trip to the dentist. Wake up @KatiePrice fans.”
And another said: “Someone has to parent the kids while she gets discounted veneers in Turkey.”
