Katie Price has been handed a 16-week suspended sentence after her drink-drive arrest in September.

The judge handed down the suspended sentence at Crawley Magistrates’ Court today, with Price earlier seen arriving to the building with her team.

Price was also suspended from driving for two years, will have to undergo 100 hours community service, and up to 30 rehab sessions.

According to Tristan Kirk of the Evening Standard: ‘Judge said Price was lucky not to have killed anyone, has an appalling driving record, and seems to think she is above the law.’

Earlier this year Price, 43, was arrested for drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance following a crash near her home in Sussex.

The mother-of-five admitted drink-driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance, with her sentencing being deferred to today following a stay in The Priory.

Price had previously entered her pleas in court on September 29, a day after telling police: ‘I took drugs, I should not be driving, I admit it all’, following the collision on the B2135 near Partridge Green.

Images from the scene showed a BMW flipped on its side on the country lane.
