According to the Daily Mail, the mum-of-five notified the court ahead of time that she was unable to attend, she reportedly wrote in a letter: "I have been booked for a paid appearance in Scotland for which members of the public have already paid."
Gareth Jones, prosecuting, told the court: "It is an imprisonable offence. She didn't provide any evidence of the engagement.
"But, as she is a media personality, there probably is some truth in it. If she doesn't attend on the new date, we will seek to prove in absence and seek a warrant."
It's reported that the case has been adjourned until March 6 and the reality star will be sent a letter explaining if she fails to attend again she could be convicted.
