Katie Price buys novelty registration plate to make husband Kieran’s sports car birthday present look twice as expensive
The Loose Women panellist fitted a personalised plate on the Audi R8 she presented to Kieran Hayler — hiding the fact it was second hand
KATIE Price used a false registration plate to make a sports car given to husband Kieran Hayler look flasher than it really was on her new reality show.
The former glamour model unveiled the Audi R8 at Kieran’s 30th birthday party thrown at Gilgamesh nightclub in London last week, with reports saying the motor could be worth £130,000.
But in fact a personalised registration plate concealed the fact the car is four years old and worth closer to half that figure.
And sources say the scenes were designed to look as impressive as possible for the benefit of the TV cameras.
A source said: “The car looked like it was brand new with the personalised registration plate, but it was actually second hand.
“Obviously it’s still a swanky car – but the whole scene was for the cameras and adding the registration plate to make it look more expensive than it really was.”
Kieran’s party took place at London nightclub DSTRKT last Saturday, where Katie broke her year-long self-imposed booze ban.
The star declared on Loose Women she would give up alcohol for the whole of 2017 but hit the tequilas after presenting Kieran with his new car.

A clubber at DSTRKT said: “Katie looked pretty worse for wear as the night went on.
“At one point her pals were even getting her to neck a bottle of water because she looked wasted.
“She might have given herself a cheat night on the ban and her tolerance to booze is not as high as it used to be.”
The ex-glamour girl made a public declaration that she was quitting booze after embarrassing footage of her showing her enhanced breasts to office workers at a corporate Christmas party went public.
Katie was also rude to party-goers and at one point made lewd comments about her ex Dane Bowers.
The Brighton-born model was paid £13,000 to appear at the EnergySave Christmas do – but the boss who booked her got more than he bargained for.
As well as letting girls touch her breasts, the I’m A Celebrity star, 38, was also accused of fondling the manager before asking his wife if he was “f****** me or you tonight”?
Speaking on Loose Women on 21 December, days after the boozy spectacle, she said: “I am not going to drink for a whole year.
“It doesn’t agree with me. It’s taken me 38 years to realise.”
