Although it is claimed that she was on a drug-hunting spree after she rowed with Carl last night, the couple looked completely different as they stepped out for a date night at Alec’s Restaurant, Brentford, Essex yesterday.
Katie pleaded guilty to three charges at Crawley Magistrates Court in September: driving while disqualified, drink driving, and driving without insurance.
In light of her guilty plea to drink-driving, the drug-driving charges were dropped by prosecutors. It happened one day after her arrest.
Price, Horsham West Sussex, was already banned to drive. Price flipped her vehicle on a country roadway at 6.20am, near West Grinstead, her home.
After being saved by a local resident Price was arrested for driving above the legal limit for alcohol or drugs and was later tested positive for cocaine.

The model said to police that she was going to visit a friend. I know I shouldn’t. I have been banned four times. I was a drug user. I shouldn’t be driving. It’s all my fault.
Price could still be in jail when she is sentenced to her sentence in December. After being disqualified from driving for two years in Oct 2019, Price is now without a license. She has been banned six times from driving.
The charges included driving while disqualified, driving while unfit to driver through drink, and using a motor vessel on a public street without third party insurance. Price was taken to the hospital, but is not believed to have sustained any serious injuries.
According to The Sun, Katie’s fiancé Carl Woods has been ‘a frequent visitor’. MailOnline reached out to Katie’s representatives to get their comments.
Price was informed that her sentencing would be delayed for 11 weeks, until December 15, in order to allow her to receive treatment at The Priory as well as speak to the probation officer.
Julie Hutton, chair of the bench, told her she could go but advised her to not drive in the interim. She said: ‘You’re free to go and good fortune at the Priory.
Ms Hutton gave Price an interim driving ban and warned her that she would send people to prison regularly for driving while disqualified.
Price left the court in a blanket covering her head and pink slippers. Her father Paul Price drove her away in a Fiat 500 while she ducked in her seat.
