Katie Price reported to police for ‘driving while disqualified’ amid 18-month ban
Katie Price has been reported to the police amid allegations she broke her driving ban, it has been claimed.
The mum-of-five was banned from getting behind the wheel for two years at the end of 2019 – which was later reduced to 18 months.
However, according to reports, the reality TV star, 42, was seen driving her famous pink Volkswagen Beetle from her Sussex mansion to her current rental home in Surrey.
The Sun states she then swapped cars with boyfriend Carl Woods, and was spotted driving his car onto the driveway.
‘A neighbour saw Katie pulling Carl’s car on to the driveway. It was incredibly risky of her,’ an insider claimed to the publication.
‘They couldn’t believe it as they knew she was still disqualified, so felt they had to contact police.
‘She even had the brass neck to then get back on the roads the next day. It’s mind-boggling – she was going to be caught sooner or later.’
A police spokesperson has now confirmed that they will not be looking into the reports any further.
A statement given to Metro.co.uk read: ‘We received a report of a 42-year-old woman allegedly driving while disqualified around 2.10pm on Friday (19 March).
‘The incident is believed to have taken place during the afternoon last Monday (15 March) in Ashtead.
‘The information has been reviewed, and given that it is hearsay evidence, it would be disproportionate to take any further action.’
The news comes after Carl broke his hand in a freak accident – following Katie’s continuing recovery after breaking both of her legs during a holiday in Turkey.
It has been said that the 31-year-old injured himself after slipping, causing a heavy dumbbell to fall on him.
It’s said that Carl, 31, became injured after accidentally slipping causing a heavy dumbbell to fall on him.
‘This is the worst possible situation for the pair – they’re now both struggling with severe injuries,’ they told the Sun.
‘Carl has broken three bones in his hand and has had to have his whole arm put into plaster and is now facing an operation to get it fixed.
‘It’s just typical of Katie’s bad luck at the moment that his hand is out of action while she’s recovering from breaking her feet,’ they said.
Metro.co.uk has contacted Katie’s reps for a comment.
