DOUBLE bankrupt Katie Price was pictured driving her brand new £40k car today after getting her licence back.
Showing off the results of her £10k surgery and tattoos, Katie, 46, returned to the roads after an incredible 18-month wait.
The former glamour model looked stylish in a purple Adidas tracksuit, a white crop top and silver moon boots following a visit to a London tanning salon.
Katie was banned from driving for two years in December 2021 after crashing her BMW in a drink-driving smash in Horsham.
And while she was meant to get her licence back late last year, it has been delayed by almost another year.
This was after Katie was charged earlier this year with driving without insurance and a valid licence.
The reality star, who was forced by a judge to hand over her pink Range Rover this summer, climbed into the driver’s seat of a black Nissan Qashqai in the images.
Katie seemed to be in high spirits despite recently suffering a painful foot injury during her holiday in Cyprus.
She was recently seen in a bikini being pushed in a wheelchair by boyfriend JJ while her left foot was bandaged up.
According to reports, the star fell and slipped on a rock – echoing her accident in Turkey back in 2020 that left her unable to walk.
A source close to her revealed: “Navigating the world of car insurance has proven challenging—she received quotes as high as £100,000—Katie isn’t letting that stand in her way.
” Instead of letting the high prices keep her down, she’s opted for renting a car, finding it a more affordable solution for now. Katie is delighted to be back driving after waiting so long to have her license back.”
Katie previously told The Sun that she was convinced someone she knows has sent 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.
Her last big trip abroad to Turkey was for a string of new cosmetic surgeries including a new facelift.
Following the operation, she documented her recovery with a series of photographs, including some gruesome shots of her looking battered and bruised.
Katie also admitted to suffering with her eyesight shortly after the invasive procedure.
The ex-model has spent more than £500k on cosmetic surgery over the years and she was back having another procedure earlier this month.
Katie had ‘the butterfly lip’ done, which uses surgical tape and filler to leave the lips excessively big and turned upwards in a butterfly shape.
But she’s still not finished her latest transformation and told fans she still wants to change her bottom.
