Katie Price is set to enter rehabilitation centre the Priory for treatment after she pleaded guilty to drink driving charges.
The former glamour model pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified, driving without insurance and driving while unfit to drive through drink, following a car crash.
The 43-year-olds sentencing has been deferred until December 15 allowing her to have treatment at the Priory Centre and speak to the probation service.
She was told her sentence would be deferred on the condition that she attended rehab at the Priory, and did not commit any criminal offences between now and December 15 as well as a driving ban.
Chair of the bench Julie Hutton at Crawley Magistrate’s Court told Katie she was free to go but warned her against driving in the meantime, saying: "We regularly send people to prison for driving whilst disqualified.
"On that basis, Ms Price, you are free to go and good luck at the Priory."
Katie's defence solicitor Joe Harrington told the court: "She has had a lot of personal problems recently.
"Currently she is in the process of bankruptcy proceedings, so her house may be repossessed.
"So, quite a lot going on in this lady’s life, a really difficult period.
"As I understand it, she had been drinking, she was lonely, and she decided to go and see a friend who lived a relatively short distance away and that is when the incident happened."
This has come after Katie was arrested on Tuesday after a single car collision in the early hours of the morning.
Her family have issued statements on social media asking for kindness towards Katie at this time as she is struggling with her mental health and wellbeing.
Friends have also reached out and issued support, like best pal Michelle Heaton have also stood by her as they encourage the star to get the help she needs during this tough time.
