Katie Price gets away with it again.

I think the Judge said she deserved prison but she'd gone to rehab which meant she didn't need to be imprisoned. Not sure why.

I don't think banning her from driving will have much affect. She's been banned and gone on to drive on more than one occasion.

With this last incident maybe she will take stock and decide that she needs to be very careful. She was very lucky not to have been injured.

What a disgrace. She is a complete liability.

Very lenient only giving a two year ban after several previous convictions for drink driving. She clearly never learns her lesson and it’s very concerning.

She gets away with it as a lot of famous people do.
They get away with all sorts of things.
She's no worse, no better, but a total liability, I agree.

She will never learn and should be ashamed of herself. To get behind the wheel of a car under the influence of alcohol and cocaine is a disgraceful act . She has got away with it again . Take the alcohol and drugs if she must- but to drive is utter madness . She should have a prison sentence.

I think she has problems with alcohol and needs to go back to rehab. With this being such a lenient sentence its not a deterrent. I just hope any other 'accident' isn't more serious. To be honest she'd be better hiring a driver, since she isn't in a fit state to drive herself around.

It's shocking that she didn't get a prison sentence! Surely, at the very least, after 5 drink/drug driving charges already, she should've have been banned from driving for life, not just another 2 years!! I'm sick of all these 'celebs' getting away with things that ordinary folks never would, and shouldn't!

They then go on to be treated like they are victims because they have such difficult, stressful lives. The media are all over them, paying for their sob stories, and interviews. Then they're being offered lucrative jobs on tv, and earning more than most ordinary, hard working, decent folk could only ever dream of! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people doing well for themselves, but not repeat criminals!

Frankly, I don't want to see this woman on tv ever again, knowing that she's being paid a fortune, after getting away with her criminal activities yet again! What kind of message does that give to young people today?!

I'm Canadian, live in Canada. I had to look her up as I had no idea who she was. Ugh. She's a menace

Think it's yet another example of 'money talks'. Let's face it, if she went to jail, she'd only end up writing a book about her experiences and, sadly, many people would buy it.

She is completely messed up, physically (just had her 13th boob job), mentally and emotionally. Since Peter Andre her choice in men has been a disaster. They only seem interested in parading Jordan on their arm and living at her expense. She is in her 40's but desperately trying to get back to her 20's. A prime attention seeker. She will do anything to court publicity. Someone close to her needs to take her wellbeing firmly in hand and get her the professional help she so clearly needs. To answer the post, yes, she has got away with it again. Had that been you or me our feet wouldn't have touched. It will all happen again but I sincerely hope that nobody gets killed or injured because of her selfish actions.

Disgraceful. She will be back behind the wheel again, uninsured, drunk, and kill someone.

She won't wait 2yrs before she gets behind the wheel of a car again,the sooner she is locked up the better.

She’s high maintenance this one that’s for sure.

She is a complete liability.

The courts have failed to exercise their full powers.

They will be left to regret it since she will not change and will surely do it all over again.

I was surprised she didn't get a custodial sentence given how many driving offences she has clocked up and this one had pretty serious implications. She has received a hefty community service sentence, I thought I read 1000 hours and I hope that she is made to serve it.

KP is a complex character, on the one hand she has done a sterling job with Harvey her eldest disabled son. Having said that she seems to suffer from some sort of arrested development, for example when the 2 fathers who have the main responsibility for the younger children, recently criticized her erratic behaviour from this last episode her response was akin to a thwarted 14 year old with a "I hate the fathers of my children" response. Someone on MN mooted the possibility of her being on the autistic spectrum and that at times that seems plausible, she certainly has a whole gamut of addictions and with never ending trips to The Priory, she still continues in the same vein. Similarly with the men who enter and depart her life, she comes across as a troubled soul who can't be on her own, hence any port in a storm. I believe it was the fact that she was booked into The Priory that saved her from going to jail, surely the judge had noted that she broke that stint to fly off to Las Vegas for some "I'm getting married" buffoonery, only to declare later "but I'm not really!"

Her terminally ill mother who seems to be a lynch pin and a steadfast support to her in spite of her own health issues must worry herself sick over her.

I do think she has mental health issues and might benefit from specialist help.

I read the police are wanting to appeal the sentence as they regard it insufficient considering her past record.

Perhaps a custodial sentence and psychiatric help could be combined somewhere.

flump she regularly goes into The Priory where there are many psychiatrists, I think there has to be a willingness on whoever is under a psychiatrist to act on whatever counselling they are given. Her continued behaviour patterns would indicate that these sessions have made little difference. On the one hand she acknowledges she has behaved irresponsibly, but resorts to petulance when she is criticised by those affected, such as the fathers of her children. I do think she could well be on the autistic spectrum and if so, that could have some bearing on why she continues to repeat the same behaviour patterns.

She needs to get her mental health sorted out before anything else. There is a definite disorder lurking within her.

I agree with you TerriBull.
She honestly is a loose cannon.

We either have rules or we may as well have done.

I think she needs a shock to the system and prison May have been the wake up call she needs. As for her family, I think they enable her because, thanks to her, they are also celebrities of a kind and are living a lifestyle on the back of her fame according to those that know her. For example, her sister and mother appear on TV. Would they without her fame? The fathers must be exasperated because no matter what they do to get the kids to lead a normal life she managed to create drama all the time.

I think she is a very troubled young woman who will continue to lurch from crisis to crisis until such time she acknowledges she has problems and seeks professional help.

She makes a big deal about being such a loving, caring mother - and yet brings her children up in chaos, swans off to America with the latest boyfriend, bad mouths their fathers, drinks, takes drugs, breaks the law, gets into debt despite all the money she earns, must break her sick mother's heart.

She needs to disappear from the media for at least three years while she sorts herself out properly.

She obviously has problems, she isn't the first or last, by far, so we can only hope she finds peace before something terrible happens as a consequence of her behaviour.
