Katie Price reveals ‘real reason’ she’s STILL banned from driving – insisting Princess will become her chauffeur
KATIE Price has revealed the ‘real reason’ she’s still not allowed behind the wheel of a car – three years after her ban.
The mum-of-five was disqualified from driving for two years in December 2021 after crashing her BMW in a drink-driving smash in Horsham.
Then, earlier this year Katie was charged at Northampton Magistrates’ Court for with driving without insurance and without a valid driver’s licence.
Despite completing her community service, finishing her awareness course and paying her fine, Katie claims she is still not allowed back on the roads.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, the star said she’s sure someone she knows has left anonymous complaints to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
She said: “I should have got my license back 16 months ago and I’ve still not got it.
“Someone anonymously kept emailing DVLA saying I’m not fit to drive and despite my doctors writing out fit to form letter four times, still haven’t got it back.
“I know it’s someone I know trying to spot me but it’s unfair because I did my community service, paid my fine, done my online course, so I should have got it back last April the 4th and I still haven’t got it.”
The Sun has approached the DVLA for comment.
Katie’s eldest daughter Princess Andre recently announced she had passed her driver’s theory test earlier this year.
Speaking about the big milestone, Katie joked she would make the 17-year-old become her chauffeur.
She told us: “Princess has passed her theory, she’s got to do her test now, then me and Princess in the car.”
“I messaged her and said I’m that close to getting you to be my driver.”
