KATIE Price has been slapped with a fine for speeding just months after her drink-drive ban finished.
The glamour model, 45, broke the 70mph limit on a dual carriageway in a black Infiniti FX50.

And she was also convicted of driving a motor vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
A court charge sheet stated she “is the holder of an expired substantive driving licence”.
Details of her latest offending have emerged after bailiffs ransacked her Mucky Mansion yesterday over a £250,000 debt owed to her ex Alex Reid.
The offences happened on July 13 last year – three months after her December 2021 ban for flipping her BMW X5 after an all-night booze and cocaine bender was lifted.
Price was clocked breaking the limit by manned equipment on the A417 near South Cerney, Gloucestershire.
The area is around 18 miles from National Star College in Cheltenham, which her son Harvey, 21, attends.
Mum-of-five Price was given three penalty points for the speeding offence and fined £220.
She was also ordered to pay an £88 victim surcharge and costs of £90.
Her case took place under a closed single justice procedure hearing at Cheltenham magistrates’ court on November 21.
She was given until December 19 to pay the fees and was not given any further penalty for the other offence.
Eight days after the July 13 offences, police seized Price’s Range Rover in Worthing, West Sussex, after officers suspected she had been driving without insurance or a valid licence.
Price was given her licence back last April after undertaking a drink-drive reduction course which saw her ban slashed by 24 weeks.
However she was reported to have had her licence medically revoked weeks later.
Sussex Police said at the time of the seizure incident: “Officers responded to a report of a motorist driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence and driving without insurance at Sompting Road roundabout, Worthing, shortly before 6pm on Friday, July 21.
“A 45-year-old woman was spoken to, and a Range Rover was seized under Section 165(a) of the Road Traffic Act.”
In December 2021, Price avoided jail on a legal technicality after flipping her BMW in Partridge Green, West Sussex, at 6am on September 28 that year.
Typically, repeat offenders like Price – who has had multiple brushes with the law over motoring offences since 2003 – face a minimum of 12 weeks in prison.
But because she went to The Priory rehab clinic and complied with a deferral, her sentence was slashed to below the custody threshold.
She was instead given a two-year driving ban plus a 16-week sentence, suspended for 12 months, after admitting driving while disqualified, without insurance and while unfit through drink.
