Katie Price was a no-show at court for her latest encounter with the law and she stated that she was feeling 'burnout' due to her ADHD.
The 45-year-old had been due at Northampton Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, March 12, for sentencing and received a £880 fine, as well as £620 in costs and a £352 victim surcharge.
Adding to her long list of troubles, she was found guilty of driving without a licence or insurance but was too burned out to show up for the court date.
‘I’m so drained at the minute,’ Katie began on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, as she addressed the drama.
The court gave her 28 days to pay the total amount of £1,852, amid reports of bankruptcy and bailiffs descending on her Mucky Mansion home.
The I’m A Celeb star continued: ‘Behind the scenes, there’s been court cases that I’m supposed to have gone to and I haven’t been able to mentally. There’s a shortage of ADHD meds so I can’t get hold of any.’

Katie revealed her ADHD diagnosis last year, a disorder characterized by hyperactivity and attention issues, although diagnosis criteria has broadened and burnout can be a symptom.
Typically, it takes women longer to get a formal diagnosis and Katie is correct that currently, there is a shortage of widely used medication.
‘So where I have a lot going on in, my poor head is is like … the only thing that keeps me focused is the kids, podcast and the work that I do,’ she continued.
‘It’s not that I don’t have a routine, it’s all the other pressures behind the scenes. Soon as that comes in, I will probably be a different person.’
Over the years, Katie has infamously been banned from driving six times, mostly recently for speeding and failing to provide information to police.
Earlier this year she was fined almost £400 for speeding as well as driving with an expired licence.
Police have also released CCTV footage of the OnlyFans creator using her vehicle at a petrol station, where she was reportedly recognized by a police officer.
She was accused of driving a Range Rover on August 2 last year on the A14 bypass in Kettering, Northamptonshire, without insurance and without a valid driver’s licence after she was disqualified from driving in December 2021.
She had previously denied both motoring charges.
On top of this she had been banned from driving for two years after she crashed her BMW on the B2135 on September 28, 2021, something her ex Carl Woods took a dig at in their breakup.
She was also given a 16-week suspended jail sentence for drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance.
