Katie Price has left people absolutely fuming by appearing to carry on as if nothing happened after she narrowly avoided a jail term.
The former glamour model was in court yesterday for a string of driving offences, including drink-driving and driving while banned from the roads, but walked away with a suspended sentence.
District Judge Amanda Kelly explained her hands had been tied by a decision made by a magistrate at Katie's previous hearing, but that she felt the reality star deserved to spend Christmas behind bars.
The judge told her: "When you chose to get behind the wheel that night you showed no concern for others.
"You could have killed somebody. Your actions meant the emergency services had to use up their precious time. You knowingly and deliberately flouted a court order and not for the first time.
"You seem to think you are above the law."
Mum-of-five Katie, 43, was given a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months and ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid work in the community.
Her driving ban will also be kept in place for two years.
After returning home, Katie angered people by carrying on as normal on her social media channels.
On Instagram, she shared a throwback snap of son Junior, 16, who she shares with ex-husband Peter Andre, posing up with a horse.
"My beautiful boy Junior," she captioned it.
And on YouTube, she shared a video of herself and eldest son Harvey, 19, baking a carrot cake together.
The video was recorded before her court date, with her visiting Harvey at National Star College in Cheltenham, where he has his own little flat.
People took to the comments section on Instagram to express their feelings over Katie walking free.
One commented: "What a surprise you got away with it"
Another told her: "You should be ashamed of yourself!"
A third wrote: "Its called Public Relations and Trying to Re -Brand yourself, A sweet kid and an Horse, The whole scenario appears extremely Thirsty to try and win public opinion, its becoming a bit predictable now, a lovely pic of Junior though".
Katie was also criticised for tagging her son in the picture.
One follower commented: "Regardless of what you’ve done, have and haven’t been charged with, you must have been aware that you would receive huge amounts of negative comments on the back of posting this picture so to tag your own son in this image is just stupidity".
And another posted: "Why post something like this, then leave the comments open so you get abused, probably be on stories later on looking for sympathy".
Some came to her defence though, with one fan writing: "Omg if you don’t like her unfollow and scroll on #bekind and if you can’t be quiet".
While another told people: "How quickly people forget #BeKind. If you have nothing nice to say then I suggest you get off her page."
District Judge Kelly explained she was unable to send her to prison because of a previous decision at her plea hearing.
At that hearing, a magistrate agreed to defer Katie's sentencing to today on the understanding that she attended rehab facility The Priory for treatment and didn't commit any further offences.
And because those criteria were met, the judge explained she couldn't send her to jail.
She said Katie was "extremely lucky" that the magistrate chose to defer her sentence.
District Judge Kelly told Katie she was lucky that she wasn't going to prison, but that her hands were tied on the matter.
She told the reality star: "You deserve to spend Christmas behind bars."
The judge said Katie's driving record was "one of the worst" she had seen.
She said: "You showed no concern for the lives of others, you could have easily killed somebody.
"Unlike you not everyone has the luxury of putting themselves into the Priory clinic when their lives get hard."
She said her driving record was "absolutely appalling" and her actions were "incredibly selfish".
Katie was also ordered to pay £213 in costs, with the hearing told she already owes the court £7,358.
