Katie Price 'preparing to return to work' after drink-drive conviction and rehab stint

Katie Price is reportedly preparing to get to work after her drink-drive conviction and rehab stint.

The former glamour girl, 42, had to cancel the launch of her Little Pricey clothing line, a collaboration with her sister Sophie, last month.

She was arrested following a car crash near her home in West Sussex in September and has since pleaded guilty to drink-driving, driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance.

Katie checked into The Priory to help battle her demons and her sentencing was deferred until December 15 to allow her to undergo treatment.

However, it now looks like Katie could be getting back to work very soon as the launch of her clothing line has reportedly been rescheduled.

According to The Sun, Little Pricey will now be launched on November 19.

Katie had been busy preparing for the launch shortly before her car accident, even appearing on Good Morning Britain with Sophie days before the crash.

Little Pricey is a range of clothing for children aged 0-18 months.

The former model is believed to have also axed plans to film a new reality show, with the shoot put on hold amid her personal problems.

A source previously told The Sun : "There's no show without Katie - which makes it the second time cameras have stopped rolling.

"They're way behind schedule and the house is so far from finished."

After her car crash, her family released a statement admitting they had been concerned about the star and insisting she needs time and space to heal.

It read: "This message has been written by Kate's family.

"As a family we have for some time been concerned about Kate's wellbeing and overall mental health. Today our worst fears nearly came true. As a family we have been and will continue to help Kate get the help she needs.

"We hope that she will realise that she cannot battle her issues alone. We would kindly ask that the media and wider public give Kate the time and space she needs to seek the necessary treatment, so that she can hopefully return to the Kate we know and love as a mother, daughter and sister."

A source told new! magazine: "Friends are hoping she can now reset and get the help she needs.

"It's really sad but she has a good support network in her mum Amy and sister Sophie and they will try and help her move on from this in the right direction.

"Nobody wants to see her in a bad place, but at the same time, those around her are glad she's getting help."

She has returned to social media in recent days and has been seen looking happy and healthy in her recent posts.

Katie has also been seen looking relaxed during several shopping trips over the last few weeks.
