Katie was banned from driving for two years in December 2021 after crashing her BMW in a drink-driving smash in Horsham.

And while she was meant to get her licence back late last year, it has been delayed by almost another year.

This was after Katie was charged earlier this year with driving without insurance and a valid licence.

But today she looked relieved to finally have her licence back and be able to drive.

Making sure she was seen in an eye-catching red motor, Katie enjoyed the freedom as she ran errands near her home.

Dressed in a loose fitting grey jumper and light denim jeans tucked into black cowboy boots, she toted a Valentino designer clutch bag.

A source close to the star revealed: “Navigating the world of car insurance has proven challenging—she received quotes as high as £100,000—Katie isn’t letting that stand in her way.

” Instead of letting the high prices keep her down, she’s opted for renting a car, finding it a more affordable solution for now. Katie is delighted to be back driving after waiting so long to have her license back.”

Katie previously told The Sun, that she was convinced someone she knows has sent anonymous complaints to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).

She said: “I should have got my license back 16 months ago and I’ve still not got it.

“Someone anonymously kept emailing DVLA saying I’m not fit to drive and despite my doctors writing out fit to form letter four times, still haven’t got it back.

“I know it’s someone I know trying to spot me but it’s unfair because I did my community service, paid my fine, done my online course, so I should have got it back last April the 4th and I still haven’t got it.”

The Sun approached the DVLA for comment at the time.

When Katie lost her licence for drink driving in 2021, she spoke out about her deep shame and regret.

Speaking about the incident, Katie said: “I could have killed myself.

“I could have killed someone else. I deserved to be punished, enough was enough.

“Getting in the car was a terrible mistake I’m so sorry for.

“That was a prime example of me having been triggered and not knowing how to handle it, an example of me spiralling out of control because I needed help.”
