She might not be a big deal Stateside, but trust us that she certainly is over the pond. A lot of people know her either as Katie Price or Jordan (or even that “Page 3 girl” from the early days of her career) and while she’s certainly had a lot of ups and downs during the course of her career, nothing like this has ever happened to her before.
There are new reports that say Price has plead guilty to drunk driving. To make matters worse, she also didn’t have insurance during the time of her crash, too. Here’s what you need to know.
British Television Personality Katie Price Pleads Guilty To Drunk Driving
According to reports, the former glamour model, 43, appeared in court and pleaded to guilty to driving under the influence while disqualified and without insurance following a crash near her home in Sussex.
After being confronted by officers at the scene, the court was told Price was heard saying: “I took drugs, I should not be driving, I admit it all. I was just going to my friend’s. I know I shouldn’t have because I’ve been banned.”
The BBC reports that Joe Harrington, Price’s defence lawyer, said: “As I understand it, she had been drinking, she was lonely, and she decided to go and see a friend who lived a relatively short distance away and that is when the incident happened.
She has had a lot of personal problems recently. Currently she is in the process of bankruptcy proceedings, so her house may be repossessed.”
In a statement shared on Instagram, her family said: “As a family we have for some time been concerned about Kate’s wellbeing and overall mental health. Today our worst fears nearly came true. As a family we have been and will continue to help Kate get the help she needs. We hope that she will realise that she cannot battle her issues alone.”
“We would kindly ask that the media and wider public give Kate the time and space she needs to seek the necessary treatment, so that she can hopefully return to the Kate we know and love as a mother, daughter and sister.”
Price was told that her sentence would be deferred until December on the condition that she have treatment at the Priory Center, and not commit any further offenses.
