Why Is Katie Price Not Going To Jail For Drink-Driving?

Katie Price was told by a judge on 15th December, 2021, that she deserved to spend Christmas in prison as she was spared jail for drink-driving because she got treatment at the £6,800-a-week The Priory after her ninth motoring offence, despite going out shopping while staying at the facility.

Katie Price was handed a 16-week suspended sentence and two-year ban at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on the afternoon of 15th December, three months after she flipped her BMW on its side on a country lane near her home in West Sussex on September 28 at 6.20am.

Drink-driving campaigners said they were ‘gobsmacked’ by the ‘unbelievable’ sentence, but a judge said Price would avoid going to jail after she completed a stint at the celebrity rehab clinic and stayed out of trouble.
