Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona has been given a further two-week reprieve at the High Court in her bankruptcy battle with the taxman.
At a brief hearing in London a bankruptcy registrar adjourned the case until August 21.
In June Katona was given until Thursday to find £157,000 to pay off the remainder of a £417,000 tax bill.
But when the case returned to court, lawyers representing the reality TV star and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) told Mr Registrar Nicholls at the Bankruptcy Court that the parties had agreed there should be another "short adjournment".
Katona, 27, was not present for the proceedings.
