Katie Price banned from driving for seventh time

Katie Price has been banned from driving for the seventh time after failing to respond to police letters about a speeding ticket.

The former glamour model, 47, has received bans totalling more than six years since she was first disqualified in 2010.

Most recently, a Ford Capri registered in her name was recorded driving at 80mph (128.7kmh) in a 70mph (112.7kmh) stretch of the A64 near the village of Stutton, North Yorkshire, on 15 October 2025.

North Yorkshire Police wrote to Price at her home in West Sussex, asking her to confirm if she was driving the car. She has since been convicted of failing to respond and given a six-month ban and a legal bill of more than £1,000.

Price's latest conviction and driving disqualification was dealt with in the Single Justice Procedure, a secretive court process where magistrates deal with criminal cases behind closed doors.

Court papers show that Price was charged with speeding and failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of a vehicle. However, the speeding charge was later withdrawn by police.

Magistrate Claire Sagar, sitting at Harrogate Magistrates' Court on 31 March, found Price guilty of failure to respond to police charge, ordering her to pay a £660 fine, £120 in costs and a £264 victim surcharge.

Due to the secretive nature of the court process, it is not known if Price was given the chance to argue against another driving ban, it is unclear whether the court knew of her previous driving record and the records do not show if she already had penalty points on her licence.

In December 2010, Price was banned for six months after admitting a speeding charge, she was disqualified for a year in 2012 after failing to respond to speeding tickets, and she received a further six-month ban in February 2018 after being caught speeding.

In January 2019, she admitted to driving while disqualified, leading to a three-month ban. And a month later, she was convicted of being drunk in charge of a vehicle when it was seen by police to veer off the road and hit a grass verge.

Later in 2019, Price was convicted of failing to disclose the name of the driver following a car crash, which led to her receiving an 18-month road ban.

And in 2021, a judge condemned Price for "one of the worst driving records I have ever seen", as she was given a 16-week suspended prison sentence for drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance.

The incident landed her with a two-year driving ban, as well as 100 hours of community service and up to 30 rehabilitation sessions.

In 2024, Price was also fined £880 for driving without a licence and insurance in Northamptonshire, but she was spared a ban for those offences.
