Katie Price has avoided jail after admitting drink-driving while disqualified.

The 43-year-old former glamour model flipped her car in a crash near her Sussex home.

She has been handed a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for a year.

She has also been ordered to complete 100 hours of community service.

Price told officers after the collision:

"I took drugs, I should not be driving, I admit it all."

Price's sentencing was adjourned at her hearing on 29 September on the condition that she have treatment at the Priory Centre, not commit any further offences, and be banned from driving in the interim.

The court heard a drugs wipe gave a positive reading for cocaine and a roadside breath test taken by Price following the accident was positive for alcohol.

An image shared by police from the scene showed a car flipped on its side.
