Katie Price will be sentenced today following her September arrest for drink-driving, with the reality star warned she could face jail time.

Earlier this year the mother-of-five was arrested for drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance following a crash near her home in Sussex.

The 43-year-old admitted drink-driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance, with her sentencing being deferred to today following a stay in The Priory.

Her sentencing is listed for 2pm at Crawley Magistrates’ Courts.

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

At that hearing, her sentencing was adjourned on the condition that she have treatment at the Priory Centre, not commit any further offences, and be banned from driving in the interim.

Officers had responded to the crash at about 6.20am, and Price was arrested and taken to hospital.

The court heard a drugs wipe gave a positive reading for cocaine and a roadside breath test taken by Price following the accident was positive for alcohol.

An image shared by police from the scene showed a car flipped on its side.

After the crash Price’s family had expressed concern for her wellbeing.

In a statement from the family shared on Price’s Instagram account, they 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.’

Last month, public records revealed Price and her fiance Carl Woods, a car salesman, had obtained a marriage licence in Las Vegas.

Price arrived in the city, which bills itself as the marriage capital of the world, the week the US reopened its borders to tourists, and was seen with Woods attending Clark County Marriage License Bureau. However, soon after, Woods revealed the pair had no intention of getting married in Vegas.
