Wednesday, April 8, 2026 - Katie Price has been banned from driving for the seventh time after failing to respond to police correspondence regarding a speeding offence.
The 47-year-old former glamour model was disqualified for
six months after a car registered in her name, a Ford Capri, was recorded
travelling at 80mph on the A64 near Stutton in North Yorkshire. Police
contacted her requesting confirmation of the driver’s identity, but no response
was received.
As a result, she was prosecuted and convicted for failing to
provide information to police, with the court also ordering her to pay fines
and costs exceeding £1,000.
The latest disqualification adds to a long history of
driving offences dating back to 2010, with bans totalling more than six years.
Previous incidents include speeding, driving while disqualified, drink-driving,
and failing to identify drivers in multiple cases.
In 2019, Price admitted to driving while disqualified,
resulting in a further ban, and was later convicted of being drunk in charge of
a vehicle. A judge at the time rejected her explanation that another individual
had been driving, describing her account as “not plausible.” She has also faced
penalties for driving without a licence or insurance, and in 2021 received a
suspended prison sentence after a crash in which she admitted to driving under
the influence.
Her most recent conviction was handled through the Single
Justice Procedure, where cases are decided by magistrates without a full court
hearing. Magistrate Claire Sagar found Price guilty of failing to respond to
police and imposed financial penalties, while the original speeding charge was
withdrawn.
Beyond her driving record, Price has also faced financial
challenges, including bankruptcy proceedings. Although her bankruptcies from
2019 and 2024 have been discharged, she remains under a court order to repay
debts until February 2027. She has previously said that her extensive driving
convictions have made it difficult for her to obtain car insurance.
