Katie Price has finally apologised for the drink-fuelled car crash that left fans terrified for her health - and said she has 'taken full responsibility for her actions'.

The former glamour model, 43, flipped her BMW on its side on a country lane near her home in West Sussex in September.

In the aftermath of the shocking it was revealed that Katie was drunk at the wheel and had made a dash 'for more drugs after an all-night binge'.

Cocaine was also found in her wrecked car.

The mother-of-five admitted to driving whilst disqualified as well as driving without insurance because of being disqualified for two years in October 2019. It is the sixth time she has been banned.

Today, a statement given by her family to the Sunday Mirror reads: 'Kate acknowledges and takes full responsibility for her actions. She knows they were wrong and apologises. Kate is deeply loved and she loves her family.

'We are all there for her right now – and her children, who she loves dearly, are giving her strength as a mum.'

In late September, Katie pleaded guilty at Crawley Magistrates' Court to three charges of drink driving, driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance. 

But prosecutors dropped a drug-driving charge in light of her guilty drink-driving plea. It came one day after family and friends rallied round her following her arrest.
