KATIE Price was back behind the wheel of her pink Range Rover in London today as she picked up snacks with boyfriend Kris Boyson.

The 40-year-old picked up a carrier bag full of treats from a petrol station and Kris wasted no time diving into them as Katie pulled off the forecourt.

Katie dressed casually in a white T-shirt and skintight leggings, while Kris wore an Ed Hardy jumper and jeans.

Yesterday it was reported Katie was slapped with a parking ticket as she attended a meeting to talk about her future.

The cash-strapped star wrote on Instagram on Wednesday: "So excited for January woooo" and shared a photo of her name on a meeting room door.

But her money troubles seemingly follow her wherever she goes, as Katie, who borrowed £22k from a pal to swerve being declared bankrupt, returned to her £75,000 pink Range Rover to find a ticket on the windscreen.

Photos revealed the bright envelope on the star's outlandish car and a traffic warden nearby.

It's been a torrid time on the roads this year for Katie.

Earlier this week she was ordered to appear in court accused of drink driving.

Police charged the former glamour model with being “drunk in charge of a motor vehicle” after she was breathalysed when she allegedly crashed her garish pink Range Rover in the early hours of October 10.

Former Loose Women panellist Katie was charged by postal requisition last week and is due to appear at Bromley magistrates, South East London, on January 7.

It is another blow to mother-of-five Katie, who is battling bankruptcy and was admitted for treatment at The Priory clinic earlier this year after being diagnosed with apparent post-traumatic stress disorder.

She faces an automatic ban from driving if convicted with driving with excess alcohol following her arrest after celebrating ex-boyfriend Kris Boyson’s 30th birthday at a Turkish restaurant and bar.

Katie allegedly crashed her £75,000 pink Range Rover into a VW Golf and a hedge on a gated estate in Woolwich at 2am, damaging the vehicle and leaving debris spread across the road.

Witnesses claimed they saw a woman “gesticulating wildly” before the car ploughed into a bush.

After her arrest, Katie spent 13 hours in a cell at Plumstead police station before being released under investigation.

It is understood Katie initially claimed she was not behind the wheel of the car at the time of the crash.

However, police believe they have established proof that Katie was driving over the limit and have decided to charge her.

A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman confirmed to The Sun: “Police in Greenwich have charged a woman with being drunk in charge of a motor vehicle.

“Katie Price, 40, of Worthing Road, Horsham, Surrey was charged by postal requisition on Monday, 10 December.

“She is to appear at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 7 January.

“The charge relates to an arrest for drink drive on Wednesday, 10 October in Shooters Hill Road, Woolwich.”

The incident follows a turbulent year for Katie, which has already seen her fall foul of the law over driving offences as her life spiral out of control after she split from husband Kieran Hayler.

In February, the 40-year-old was banned from driving for six months after being clocked doing 60mph on the 50mph A24 in her £75,000 Land Rover.

The Sun on Sunday revealed in July that police had been alerted to pictures her driving two weeks before the end of her ban.

Katie later confessed on Instagram, explaining she had been driving son Harvey to hospital. She blamed an “emotional roller coaster” for her decision to drive while banned.

The telly favourite was previously banned from driving in September 2012 after failing to respond to two speeding tickets, arguing that her mum handled her post.

A source said: “She is a dot on the card to lose her driving licence if convicted and given her history, it could be quite a lengthy ban.”
