Katie Price’s car is towed away just days after she’s exposed for driving while banned
The 40-year-old came clean about breaching her driving suspension after learning she'd been pictured behind the wheel
KATIE Price's pink Range Rover was towed away today just days after she was exposed for driving while banned.
The mother-of-five's unmistakable 4x4 was seen on the back of an AA recovery truck close to her Sussex home.
It comes just a day after The Sun On Sunday exclusively revealed pictures of Katie driving while banned — with her two youngest children in the car.
The Loose Women star, 40, confessed to cops after she was alerted to the snaps of her on the 24-mile journey home from Gatwick.
Her February speeding ban does not expire for two weeks. Breaching it carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and an unlimited fine.
Katie - whose £2million mansion is falling apart amid her money woes - blamed an “emotional roller coaster” for her crazy decision to drive while banned.
The troubled star climbed behind the wheel to travel home despite being disqualified.
Wracked with guilt she went to police after being shown photos of the offence.
Ex-glamour girl Katie later confessed on Instagram, explaining she had been driving son Harvey to hospital.
But we can reveal her moment of madness came with kids Jett, four, and Bunny, three, in the car — while a pal drove Harvey in another vehicle.
Katie copped a six-month ban on February 9 for speeding, meaning she cannot drive until August 8.
Last Wednesday a friend drove the star from her West Sussex home to Gatwick at 3pm in a 15-year-old Ford Fiesta Finesse.
Another pal followed in a black Mini and they left the vehicles in the airport’s short-stay car park.
Katie and the three children caught a train to London, returning at 7.30pm.
She strapped Jett and Bunny — her kids with third hubby Kieran Hayler — into the Fiesta hatchback. Harvey, 16, got into the Mini with friends.
The Loose Women presenter then got behind the wheel and started the engine, before doing her hair and exchanged words with a friend, who had paid her parking ticket.
After putting on her sunglasses Katie reversed out of the parking bay and drove 24 miles to her mansion near Horsham, West Sussex, arriving at 8pm.
Explaining herself on Instagram at 9pm on Friday, Katie wrote: “Been on such an emotional rollercoaster the last 6 months and my head has been all over the place, so much so, that I thought my driving ban was up."
She continued: “With this on my conscience I called police and reported myself.”
Katie added: “I’ve come such a long way and I just want easy life now. I have got out of a hole and am finally happy and looking forward to being my old independent self!”
Sussex Police are understood to have visited her that day.
Road safety campaigners called for the star to be hit with the severest possible penalty for the offence — a six-month jail term.
