Katie Price was today handed a £880 fine after being found guilty of yet another driving offence, prompting campaigners to call for her to be finally put behind bars.
The bankrupt former glamour model, 45, drove a Range Rover on August 2 last year on the A14 bypass in Kettering, Northamptonshire, without insurance and without a valid driver's licence but was recognised by a police officer at a petrol station.
Magistrates sitting in Northampton tried Price in her absence after she failed to show up to court and found her guilty after being shown CCTV footage of the model, wearing black slippers, stepping out of the driver's side of her bronze-coloured car.
Price was banned from driving for two years after she crashed her BMW on the B2135 in West Sussex on September 28, 2021, and was also handed a 16-week suspended jail sentence for drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance.
During that court appearance, the prosecutor said Price had five previous driving bans.
Today's court hearing saw CCTV footage of Katie Price getting out of a Range Rover wearing slippers
The footage was filmed at a service station, where the former glamour model was recognised by a police officer
The model has a long history of run-ins with the legal system over her driving. She has committed 11 driving offences in the previous fifteen years
John Scruby, from the Campaign against Drink Driving, told MailOnline today: '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.
'She will carry on breaking the law and the only way to stop her is to put her behind bars.'
Price, who found fame on ITV reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, had previously denied both of the charges she faced today.
But three magistrates found Price guilty in her absence after a brief trial today, imposing an £880 fine and ordering her to pay £620 in costs and a £352 victim surcharge,
The 45-year-old model, of Dial Post, near Horsham, West Sussex, was given 28 days to pay the total amount of £1,852, imposed in relation to the offences committed on the A14 at Kettering on August 2 last year.
Finding Price guilty and imposing the fine, chair of the bench Neil Sheppard said: 'From the evidence we have been shown, the case is proven against Miss Price.'
Magistrates were told Price has numerous previous convictions for motoring offences, including driving while disqualified in 2019 and 2021.
Price was banned from driving for two years after she crashed her BMW in September 28 2021, and was also handed a 16-week suspended jail sentence for drink-driving.
During that court appearance, the prosecutor said Price had five previous driving bans.
Following the latest offence, Price was handed eight penalty points on her licence, which was said in court to be 'expired' after a 'medical stop' was placed on it in April last year.
The court was told Price was caught on CCTV at an M&S petrol station forecourt on the morning of August 2, where police officers standing near the entrance saw her vehicle pull up at one of the pumps.
Opening the facts of the case against Price, prosecutor Cheryl Burridge said: 'Officers were on a mobile patrol and they stopped at the service station.
'They saw a vehicle pulling into the service station by the fuel pump. She (Price) has exited the vehicle with an unknown male and a child.'
As Price and the male walked from the vehicle into the services past the officers, the court heard, she was recognised and they 'believed her to be disqualified from driving'.
Although Price was not subject to a driving ban, the court heard she did not have a valid licence due to the 'stop' put on it, after an application for renewal was withdrawn.
It also emerged that Price left the services in the Range Rover, with the unknown male at the wheel, and was not stopped because police had not witnessed her driving the vehicle.
After Price had left the services, the court heard, officers reviewed footage showing her getting out of the driver's seat and instigated criminal proceedings.
In a statement read to the court by the prosecutor, Pc Harrison Beverley said: 'During this statement I will refer to a female who is known as Katie Price.
'I was outside the front of the shops, speaking with response police. I did not see her (Price) driving.
'I recognised her as a media personality.'

The officer added that he had reviewed CCTV footage at the petrol station and had seen a female 'believed to be Price' step out of the driver's side of the Range Rover.
A marker was then placed on the vehicle after computer checks disclosed that Price had an expired licence and was not covered with valid insurance.
On the day of the offences, the court heard, Price was wearing a distinctive black and white top and black slippers.
Magistrates were told the previous suspended sentence imposed on Price had no effect in the current proceedings, and that she was given three penalty points in November last year for speeding.
Price's licence is now endorsed with a total of 11 penalty points, the court heard, and is understood to be currently classed as having been revoked.
The latest court hearing took place weeks after a High Court judge ruled that Price will lose nearly half of her monthly income from adult entertainment website OnlyFans for the next three years - after she was declared bankrupt in November 2019.
Barrister Darragh Connell - who was representing the trustees in the High Court - said that Price had previously reached a voluntary agreement over her debts but failed to pay up.
He informed a specialist bankruptcy judge that the previous agreement included the TV personality making 36 monthly payments of £12,500 as well as a lump sum.
The trustees went to court to request an income payments order, meaning money would go from any salary towards paying Price's outstanding debt.
Four companies were listed, including adult subscription website OnlyFans and celebrity photography agency Backgrid.
At the end of the hearing, Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Catherine Burton declared the four companies are 'obligated to deduct 40 per cent of the income due to be paid to Ms Price' each month for the next 36 months.
She added that the 40 per cent portion will now be paid to a bank account chosen by the trustees.

Today is far from the first time that she has had issues with the law related to her time on the road. The reality TV star has already committed 11 driving offences in the previous fifteen years.
Price was fined almost £400 for speeding and driving with an 'expired' licence last month.
She had been going over 70mph in Gloucestershire, near to the National Star College in Cheltenham, where her son Harvey studies.
She was also given points on her licence due to the incident. Her Range Rover was seized eight days after that incident, which took place in July 2023.
She had only been back on the road for a short time following a driving ban that was the result of a drunken crash on a country road near her West Sussex home.
Price was declared bankrupt in 2019 with debts of £3.2m from her failed company Jordan Trading Ltd, which was set up to oversee her perfume and cosmetics line
Price avoided jail time due to a little known legal mechanism.
She was slapped with a two-year driving ban and a suspended sentence after she admitted to driving while disqualified, without insurance and drink driving.
She had agreed to take a drink-drive rehabilitation course, which reduced the ban by 24 weeks.
Price has been on the end of repeated driving bans over the years.
In 2018, she landed a six-month ban for speeding after totting up 12 penalty points on her licence.
Five years earlier, she was disqualified from driving for a year for failing to respond to two speeding tickets.
In 2010, she was banned from driving for six months after running 83mph in a 70mph zone in West Sussex.
