TROUBLED Katie Price was last night facing a jail stretch after being arrested while still on licence for her drink-drive shame.

Police were called to the former model’s home on Friday and held her on suspicion of breaching a restrainin­g order.

It is alleged Katie, 43, broke a courtimpos­ed ban on contacting her ex-husband Kieran Hayler’s fiancée.

The mum-of-five is said to have sent text messages to Michelle Pentecost, who has a baby son with former stripper Kieran.

If proven, the breach could mean Katie has broken the terms of her 16-week sentence for drink-driving, which was suspended for a year – and she could be recalled to prison. She was held at Worthing police station, West Sussex, some 12 miles from her home in Horsham.

Obscenitie­s

Katie was hit with a restrainin­g order after shouting obscenitie­s at Michelle outside the school attended by her children with Kieran – Jett, eight, and Bunny, seven.

Sussex Police said yesterday: “On Friday police responded to a report a suspect had breached their restrainin­g order. Officers arrested a woman in her 40s who has been released under investigat­ion while enquiries continue.” The latest arrest for Katie – also mum to Harvey, 18, Junior, 16, and Princess, 14, – comes four months after she flipped her car while driving to see a friend at 6.20am.

She admitted drink-driving, having no insurance and breaching a roads ban. Magistrate­s gave the I’m A Celeb star 100 hours of community service, a two-year roads ban and the suspended jail term.

Despite it being her sixth driving offence in a decade, Katie, now engaged to Carl Woods, avoided a Christmas behind bars.

Michelle was granted a five-year restrainin­g order against her in 2019 after Katie pleaded guilty to using threatenin­g and abusive words or behaviour.

A victim statement was read out in court on Michelle’s behalf after accusation­s Katie repeatedly called her a “f***ing c***” outside the school.

It said: “It is clear Miss Price has been poisoning their children’s view of me – saying I’m fat, I have a big a***, that I hate mummy [Price]. I’m anxious I may still see her.”

Katie wed Kieran in 2013. He cheated on her with two of her friends and Katie split from him in 2018.

Their divorce was finalised last year.
