KATIE Price insisted on getting the drinks in during a night out in London – despite being declared bankrupt again.
The former glamour model, 45, was overheard telling her boyfriend JJ Slater and pals that she could pick up the tab while at a showbiz event.

Katie made her generous gesture while at the press night for Priscilla The Party!, held at the swish exhibition space The Outernet.
She had been assigned a spot in the VIP area, but wanted to let her hair down and have fun with everyone else.
It came just a week after Katie was declared bankrupt again, this time over a massive unpaid tax bill.
An onlooker exclusively told The Sun: “Katie was on top form and just wanted to have a good time.
“Despite being made bankrupt for the second time just a few days ago, she insisted on buying a round for everyone in the group she was with.
“They tried to pay for her but she was having none of it.
“As one of the celebrity guests Katie was whisked into the VIP area but after a bit she had other ideas.
“She asked to be moved to the standard area as she thought it was more fun. It was nice to see her not acting like a diva for once.”
Katie was first declared bankrupt in November 2019, with debts of £3.2million.
Last week, a court declared her bankrupt for a second time.
At the hearing, held at the Rolls Building in London, the court heard she owes HMRC a total of £761,194.05.
She now faces losing her £2million Mucky Mansion in West Sussex, or bailiffs could repossess her belongings to help repay the mounting debt.
But while giving an inspirational talk at an event, Katie is determined to keep hold of her home.
She said: “You’ve followed my life, my journey. I say it as it is. Yes, I’m in a bankruptcy.
“But guess what? I own my house. No one could take it off me as well.”
The former Loose Women panelist went on to talk about the mental breakdown she had, explaining that it was the main factor behind her money troubles.
“I had a breakdown. And I don’t know if any of you have had a breakdown or been depressed or anything.
And you didn’t communicate with things … and then you don’t answer letters.
“Then it gets in the red. This, that and the other, then you’re like, I can’t cope, I can’t cope and you hide away. That’s basically what happened to me.
So then I had therapy. Got out of it, and I’m like, ‘Right, it’s not as bad as you think’
“Just start communicating these people, start it all up, and then you get out of it.
“Yeah, You have to do payment plans and whatever. It doesn’t matter, Never be ashamed of it, I’m not ashamed of it.”
Meanwhile, hours before her nighttime jaunt into London with JJ, Katie faced yet more drama after her son Harvey suffered an accident.
The mum-of-five posted a picture of a brick wall with blood splattered on it, saying that she was making a “hospital dash” with the 21-year-old.
Katie has since posted a snap of Harvey’s hand wrapped in bandages, telling fans: “Harvey is now fine after this morning’s trip to the hospital.”
