Katie Price apologises for drink-driving following her arrest

Katie Price has apologised for drink-driving following her arrest.

The former glamour model pleaded guilty to drink-driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance after she crashed her car last month.

The mother-of-five then checked herself into rehab, where she is still receiving treatment.

The 43-year-old’s family have since released a statement on her behalf, where she apologised for her actions.

The statement, which was obtained by The Sunday Mirror, reads: “Kate acknowledges and takes full responsibility for her actions. She knows they were wrong and apologises.”

“Kate is deeply loved and she loves her family. We are all there for her right now – and her children, who she loves dearly, are giving her strength as a mum.”

It comes after Katie’s mother Amy issued a statement expressing her concerns for her daughter.

She wrote on Instagram: “I am setting out my concerns as Kate’s mother because I don’t know how else to address the issues that have arisen on social media and in the press.”

“I know better than most that Kate has made a career in which she has engaged with and benefitted from the press so I am not seeking to portray them as the bad guys and Kate as a victim.”

“My daughter behaved appallingly when she got behind the wheel or a car intoxicated. She could have killed herself or someone else’s child. I don’t hide from that and neither does Kate. But Kate is not well.”

“We asked as a family to have some space and privacy. Since our plea as a family there have been over 35 articles from various sources and interviews from ex-partners/husband all with an opinion,” she continued.

“Many of these articles are complete fabrication (claims Kate has not been in touch with Harvey or is moving in with me for example).”

“If, as is my fear, we lose Kate then the narrative will change and people/media may remember all the good she did for causes in her early days and not be judged on her failures.”

“How many more people do we need to lose in this world from mental abuse? It was not long ago I kept reading #bekind that seems to be a distant memory or media just think they can push the boundaries without responsibility.”

“My daughter is mentally unwell, we have no idea what the future holds but what we do know is Kate’s children will read and see every single article written.”

“The abuse I am seeing on social media says so much for the society we live in – it has become a sad place.”

“Please allow us time, allow my daughter space not because she deserves this but because I am asking as a very sick and poorly mother who is scared she will lose her daughter,” Amy added.

Katie will be sentenced on December 15.
