Katie Price was reported to the police again after ‘driving while banned for a second time last Monday’.
According to a source, a neighbour of the former glamour model, 42, claimed they saw her driving her boyfriend Carl Woods’ BMW onto the driveway of her Surrey home.
The alleged incident is said to have been reported to authorities last Friday, but they won’t be investigating the situation due to lack of evidence provided by the ‘witness’.
A day later, the mother-of-five was caught behind the wheel of her partner’s Range Rover, just a few weeks before her driving ban ends.

An insider also claimed the media personality had been moving her pink Volkswagen Beetle from her ‘mucky’ mansion to her new house in Surrey.
They told The Sun: ‘A neighbour saw Katie pulling Carl’s car on to the driveway. It was incredibly risky of her. They couldn’t believe it as they knew she was still disqualified, so felt they had to contact police.
‘She even had the brass neck to then get back on the roads the next day. It’s mind-boggling – she was going to be caught sooner or later.’
Surrey Police also confirmed to the publication: ‘We received a report of a woman allegedly driving while disqualified. The information has been reviewed, and given that it is hearsay evidence, it would be disproportionate to take any further action.’

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Sussex Police and a representative for Katie declined to comment.
The TV star was quizzed by police after driving while disqualified for the second time – which can lead to an unlimited fine and jail time of six months.
A source previously claimed the businesswoman now fears she could face prison time over the latest offence.
Katie’s current two-year ban was issued in the autumn of 2019, but was reduced to 18 months after she appealed the ruling.
The order was put in place in October of that year, meaning it’ll lift in a matter of weeks, if not days.
The reality star has a long history of problems behind the wheel and has been disqualified from driving six times since her first ban back in 2010 for six months.
During her current ban alone, she was caught driving while disqualified in January 2019, and had another three months added to her sentence.
The ban was issued to Katie after her pink car was involved in a crash in November 2018, after which shhe refused to tell police who had actually been behind the wheel.
Katie was first slapped with a driving ban in 2010 for six months.
This was for speeding – 83mph in a 70mph zone in West Sussex.
She was then disqualified for a year in 2012, after failing to respond to two speeding tickets.
Katie reportedly failed to inform police when she received the ticket for breaking the speeding limit in a 50mph limit on the A24 in Dial Post, West Sussex in 2017.
She claimed that she didn’t see a pair of speeding tickets because her mother takes care of the mail.
Katie was ordered to pay a total of £75 and she was slapped with the 12-month driving ban.
In 2018, she was banned for another six months, totting up 12 penalty points on her driver’s license.
During this ban, she was caught driving while disqualified in January 2019, and was given another three months.
A further three months were added to this ban a month after this, when she was convicted of drink-driving the previous October.
The influencer was released by police pending further investigation on October 10 2018 following an alleged five-day bender that ended up with her being arrested for drink-driving after turning up uninvited to her on-off boyfriend’s birthday party.
At the time, Katie was receiving treatment at The Priory and meant to be abstaining from alcohol, but it has since been claimed that she went on a five day bender prior to her drink-drive arrest.
She had reportedly been enjoying Strawberry Daquiris with ex-boyfriend Alex Adderson after fearing the 25-year-old would think she is a ‘boring granny’ if she didn’t let her hair down.
Katie handed herself into police the previous July for driving while on a six-month ban, explaining at the time that she thought her ban was over.
Taking to Instagram, the I’m A Celebrity star admitted that she thought the ban was done – but as soon as she realised it wasn’t confessed her wrongdoing to authorities to avoid a ‘guilty conscience.’
She said at the time: ‘Been on such an emotional rollercoaster the last 6 months and my head has been all over the place, so much so, that I thought my driving ban was up.
‘After driving to [son] Harvey’s hospital appointment I have NOW found out that I don’t get my licence back until 8th August.
‘With this on my conscience I called police and reported myself.
‘I’ve come such a long way and just want easy life now.
‘I have got out of a hole and am finally happy and looking forward to being my old independent self.’
The part-time singer received a £750 fine as well as £200 in costs and a £75 surcharge following her conviction, according to reports.
This comes after Katie vowed she ‘won’t give up’ in her campaign to make online bullying a crime after receiving over 100,000 signatures for her Track A Troll campaign.
The social media star has been asking for a change in legislation that will require all social media platforms to ask users for ID after her disabled son Harvey, 18, became the victim of online trolling.
In a piece for The Independent Katie insisted she’ll do ‘whatever it takes’ to get her campaign through Parliament.
She wrote she understands concerns from some that required ID for social media users could ‘out’ members of the LGBTQ+ community or those with a criminal history.
The blonde insisted her law would mean users’ accounts can be tracked through the IP address, allowing police to put a stop to online abuse, and they wouldn’t need to share any other personal information.
Her petition has been backed by several stars and MP Andrew Griffith, and after reaching 100,00 signatures will now be debated in Parliament.
She wrote: ‘I’ve seen Harvey mocked and belittled since he was a small boy, because of his disabilities, and because of his race.
‘Now that he’s 18, he understands that the treatment he receives from strangers is cruel and unfair. He’s said it himself: ”People are horrible to me.” As a mother, that breaks my heart.
‘Once I get my teeth stuck into something, that’s it – there’s no giving up. I am prepared to do whatever it takes to lead the charge for kindness.’
On Monday, Katie also revealed her plans to attend court and face her son Harvey’s online bullies while discussing her Track A Troll campaign on BBC News.
Katie, whose 18-year-old son is blind and has Prader-Willi syndrome and ADHD, previously said she was ‘over the moon’ as police moved to prosecute a troll who shared a racist blackface video while mocking her disabled son.
And now, she is asking for a change in legislation, requiring all social media platforms to ask users for ID in hopes of reducing online hate.
Katie said: ‘I would love to say what kind of abuse Harvey gets, but I wouldn’t say it because it’s so horrific to say, but when you read it, it should be treated the same as how you say it.
‘If I verbally said these words I would get arrested, so it should have the same affect, just because it’s written down.
‘I do know three people have been arrested, the ones I was looking for, for Harvey. A couple in Aberdeen and some of the national newspapers ran their faces. And the person who actually retweeted it has been charged with Malicious Communications.’

Katie confirmed that the police contacted her to let her know they had made an arrest.
Prior to her latest woes, she had previously called her two-year driving ban ‘b*******’ and ‘obscene’ in a YouTube video shared in 2019.
It had come just days after she was charged with withholding the name of the driver following a collision which involved her pink Range Rover in November 2018.
In a video posted to her account, the socialite hit out at police as she claimed officers ‘pull me over to be nosey’ following her fourth ban at the time.
The campaigner – who had pleaded guilty at a hearing in August 2019 – insisted her recent conviction is down to ‘paperwork’ and revealed she was preparing to appeal against the charge.
Providing her social media subscribers with some background about her ban, Katie began her clip at the time: ‘I’ve been banned now four times from driving, but it’s actually not me driving but paperwork.
‘I was in court yesterday and the lawyers said to the court that I would not be there as I’d be out the country. We proved we’d be out the country, but the judge wasn’t interested in adjourning it.’
The former Loose Women star – who failed to turn up to court because she was abroad -reasoned her ability to drive is vital due to her location, her then 17-year-old son Harvey’s needs (he has since turned 18) and her terminally ill mother Amy.
‘I need to drive and I am going to appeal’, she said. ‘I live in the middle of nowhere, I have a son with disabilities that might need to be rushed to hospital at certain times.
‘My mum is terminally ill and I need to visit my mum. If they’re banning me for two years how do I know my mum is going to be here in two years’ time? I need to be able to get to my mum.

‘It’s obscene that the courts won’t listen just because they banned me before three times, which was also unfair’, the Brighton native elaborated.
Katie went on to claim court letters had been sent to houses in her area as they share the same postcode.
The 2015 CBB winner shared: ‘My post gets moved here, there and everywhere, so at the moment I don’t get all my posts, but I am going to appeal my driving ban.
‘Some people write to me but I don’t even get it on time. It’s got my name and my postcode – but the wrong house.
‘It’s obscene, being banned for two years. Two years is a long time and I don’t deserve it, it’s a load of b*******. Everyone says my pink Range Rover is gone but I still have it, I just don’t drive it.
‘Well, I can’t now because people like the police do pull me over and I’m like “what have I done”, and their attitude is ‘’what’s with the attitude’’ and I’m like “why have you pulled me over?”
‘They just want to be nosey, they know it’s me, who else has a pink car in the area?’, she added.
Katie did not attend the sentencing hearing on October 10 2019 at Bexley Magistrates Court, claiming she was only due to return to London Gatwick Airport in the morning.
At the time, this was the sixth time Katie has been banned from the roads. Prior to this, she had revealed she was selling her garish £75,000 pink Range Rover and Fiat Ducato horsebox ‘because they get her into trouble’.
Meanwhile, the Brighton native recently appeared to confirm she’s pregnant with her sixth child.
The fashion star already has Junior, 15, and Princess, 13, with ex-husband Peter Andre, 48, Jett, seven, and Bunny, six, with former spouse Kieran Hayler, 33, and raises eldest child Harvey, without his biological father Dwight Yorke, 49.
