The show is a follow up to the widely-acclaimed documentary Katie Price: Harvey and Me.

Katie was handed a 16-week prison sentence suspended for a year, 100 hours community service and ordered to attend 20 rehab sessions after the car crash.

Her driving ban was also extended for two years and she must pay £213 in costs on top of the £7,358 she already owes the court.

Sentencing in December, District Judge Amanda Kelly said: "When you chose to get behind the wheel that night you showed no concern for others.

"You could have killed somebody. Your actions meant the emergency services had to use up their precious time.

"You knowingly and deliberately flouted a court order and not for the first time.

"You seem to think you are above the law."

The judge also said Price, who has six previous driving convictions, had "one of the worst driving records I have ever seen".
