KATIE Price has avoided jail after flipping her car earlier this year.

She has been handed 16-week prison sentence suspended for a year, 100 hours community service, and up to 30 rehab sessions for her drink drive crash.

The 43-year-old reality star was sentenced today for drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance following a crash near her home in Sussex.

The former glamour model admitted drink-driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.

She entered her pleas at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on September 29, a day after telling police: “I took drugs, I should not be driving, I admit it all,” following a collision on the B2135 near Partridge Green.

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

Officers responded to the crash at about 6.20am, and Price was arrested and taken to hospital.

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.
