Price was due to face questions about her finances in the specialist bankruptcy court in London from barristers representing the trustee of her two bankruptcies.

A judge at a previous hearing said the former glamour model risked arrest if she did not attend further court dates, adding that evidence must be provided if she could not appear.

Issuing the arrest warrant, Judge Burton said that Price had 'failed to attend today’s hearing' and had provided no explanation for her absence.

She said: "It is in my judgment necessary that the court issue a warrant for Ms Price’s arrest.

"She has no real excuse in failing to attend today’s hearing."

She continued: "The reason for her absence today is irrelevant."
