Katie Price says she's 'ashamed' as she returns to GMB after drink-drive crash

Katie Price has said she is 'ashamed' as she returned to Good Morning Britain after her drink-drive crash.

The former glamour model last appeared on the ITV news programme four months ago.

Twenty-four hours later it was reported she had been involved in a single-vehicle collision and had been arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

Katie was spared jail and handed a 16-week suspended sentence last month after spending time in the Priory.

The 43-year-old, who says she is now receiving therapy weekly, appeared on GMB with her son Harvey to talk to hosts Richard Bacon and Susanna Reid about their book.

But when Katie was asked about her escaping time behind bars.

Katie said: "2022 is definitely my year - 22 is my lucky number... this has to be my year of no dramas. So much has happened last year."

To which Susanna pointed out: "You must be thankful that you're not in jail... you managed to avoid a jail sentence, things could have been very different."

The mum-of-five then responded: "The events leading up to it were really traumatic and it’s still been traumatic after, so I’m not ready to talk about it yet.

"What I can say is, I went to The Priory and I’ve made the decision to see a therapist every week forever to deal with the traumatic events that led me up into that car because I’m very good at hiding things.

"When I’m ready to talk about it, I will come on and talk about it because there’s reasons why I got in that car… my mental state."

She added: "I feel ashamed about it all and everything Like I say, it was a traumatic build-up to it. The reasons I’m still dealing with now."

But Katie did say she is in a much better mental state now with lots of exciting things to come this year.

"Babies, marriage, I want everything. I have definitely found the one with Carl," Katie said when asked about her plans for 2022.
