KATIE Price’s court appearance for allegedly sending a “gutter s**g” text to ex Kieran Hayler about his fiancée has been delayed.
The reality star, 43, was charged with breaching a restraining order after allegedly sending the foul-mouthed message aimed at Michelle Penticost.
Police originally confirmed she would appear at Crawley Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.
But she now faces a longer wait to appear before JPs after the case was pushed back to April 27.
Katie spent 12 hours in police custody after being arrested at her mucky mansion in January.
Close sources told The Sun the text allegedly branded Michelle a “c***ing w***e piece of s***” and a “gutter s**g.”

The ex-glamour model faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison if charged and convicted.
Katie is already on a 16-week suspended sentence for drink driving after she flipped her BMW in a horror smash in September.
A person can be recalled to prison for the length of their suspended sentence if they were to breach the terms of their licence.
Usually a court will focus on the new crime that has been committed when sentencing and take the original term into consideration as an aggravating feature.
In this case, Katie could be jailed for five years with the 16 weeks running concurrently or potentially on top of the main sentence.
Katie was slapped with the five-year order in 2019 after she called Michelle a “f***ing c***” during a tirade at the school gates.
She was forbidden from contacting Michelle “directly or indirectly”.
The charge is the latest twist in the troubled star’s turbulent life.
In December, Katie avoided jail for flipping her car in a drink-drive crash.
A judge slammed her for believing she is “above the law” but couldn’t send her to prison because of a legal loophole.
Katie was driving to see a pal because she was “lonely” when she overturned her BMW in Horsham, West Sussex, in September.
She was already banned from driving when she got behind the wheel after taking cocaine and downing vodka and lemonades.
Sentencing, District Judge Amanda Kelly said: “When you chose to get behind the wheel that night you showed no concern for others.
“You could have killed somebody. Your actions meant the emergency services had to use up their precious time.
“You knowingly and deliberately flouted a court order and not for the first time.
“You seem to think you are above the law.”
The judge also said Price, who has six previous driving convictions, had “one of the worst driving records I have ever seen”.
She has been in court on at least 16 occasions for her driving offences but has never once been to jail.
Katie and Kieran wed in January 2013 and share two children, Bunny, 5, and six-year-old Jett.
They split in early 2018 following numerous allegations of cheating.
Kieran is now engaged to Michelle and they share a baby son called Apollo.

Meanwhile Katie was dumped by fiancé Carl Woods, 33, last month after he accused her of cheating.
The pair have since have sparked speculation that their engagement is back on.
