In a new episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, the mum-of-five revealed exactly how much it will cost her to get back on the road.
Speaking to her sister Sophie, Katie said: “New year, new start manifesting, already good stuff has happened.
“Jobs on my way but the most important thing is me getting back to driving.
“Now I got my licence back two years after I should have got it back because I had the problem with DVLA and people emailing in.
“I got my licence back but I couldn’t get insured on any of the cars – it was going to cost be £150k a year, £7k a month, who’s going to pay that, that’s ridiculous.”
Continuing she added: “So I went to rent a car, I could rent a car and pay £1,600 a month to rent a car and I thought ‘oh let’s just see if I can get insured on my car’ and it went through.
“I’ve now got normal insurance for £800 a year – fully comp and I’m so happy.”
DRIVING BAN IS LIFTED
Katie revealed more about the ban being lifted in her late January podcast.
She said: “I’m driving now! I don’t know if I was proper driving [on the last podcast].
“So this year, is going to be amazing.
“Having my independence back is so nice to the point that if I’m in the car with the kids, I’m like, ‘I’m sorry kids if I’m driving slow’.”
She continued: “If I’m in a 30, I set it at 30. Or on the motorway, I set it at 70.
“They’re like, ‘No, mum. It’s good, it’s good that you’re sensible. No, no, we love this, mum.
“I have changed a lot. I think the past is the past, the future is the future and continue on that.
“I’m glad last year’s done. Lots of good things are happening.”
KATIE’S LEGAL TROUBLES
Katie was banned from driving for two years in December 2021 after crashing her BMW in a drink-driving smash in Horsham.
She had been meant to get her licence back in later 2023, but it was delayed by almost another year.
This was after Katie was charged in early 2024 with driving without insurance and a valid licence.
To add to her woes, was also declared bankrupt for the second time in March last year.
At a hearing held at the Rolls Building in London, it was heard she owed HMRC a total of £761,194.05.
But in the UK, providing you cooperate with the terms of your bankruptcy, you can be discharged after 12 months.
Katie’s first bankruptcy ended in November 2024, and her second will be up in late March this year.
GET RICH QUICK PLAN
The star, who was once worth an estimated £40million, has now hatched some grand plans for making herself a fortune again.
Katie said on her podcast, which returned on Thursday following a four-month break: “My New Year’s resolution, if that’s the right word, is I wanna make about £500million in about three years.
“There’s one way I’m going to do that. Do you know how? Win the f***ing lottery!”
