Why This Anti-Drunk-Driving Group Wants Celebrity Katie Price Behind Bars
A CADD rep says it’s “the only way to stop her” from breaking the law.
History of Katie Price’s Driving Offenses
One celebrity should be locked away, according to an anti-drunk-driving group. Katie Price, the model and reality TV star, was recently slapped with a £880 fine after driving without a license in August 2023. The offense in question comes after Price’s troubling history behind the wheel. She has had 11 driving offenses over 15 years, which resulted in her being banned from driving five times. In 2021, the U.K. star was banned from driving for two years after driving drunk.
Advocacy for Jail Time
With Price’s new driving without a license offense, John Scruby of Campaign Against Drink Driving spoke to The Daily Mail to advocate for Price to be off the roads and in jail. CADD was “set up to highlight the dangers of drunken and irresponsible drivers,” per its website, and it clearly sees the former Celebrity Big Brother personality as one of those irresponsible drivers.
Scrutiny of Price’s Behavior
“It’s absolutely ridiculous. It’s time that people realise that she is not going to listen and will keep doing this again and again,” Scruby told the publication. “She will carry on breaking the law and the only way to stop her is to put her behind bars.”
Katie Price’s Public Persona
On reality TV, the mother of five is known for appearing on shows like I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Katie & Peter and Katie Price: My Crazy Life, and the aforementioned Celebrity Big Brother. As a model, the 45-year-old previously found fame under the name Jordan. She also now has a following on OnlyFans and has a pop music career.
August 2023 Incident
This August 2023 incident stemmed from Price driving to a gas station in Kettering, Northamptonshire, per The Daily Mail. Officers happened to be at the station and recognized her. Based on their knowledge of Price’s well-publicized legal history, they thought she was not allowed to drive. Upon further investigation, they realized their hunches were correct and brought charges against her.
