Having been seen driving around earlier this week despite being disqualified from the roads, Katie Price was sure to play by the rules on Thursday.
The model was seen leaving home and getting into an awaiting car, this time into the passenger side, with boyfriend Carl Woods behind the wheel.
The appearance comes a day after The Sun claimed the mum-of-five, 42, was spotted behind the wheel of a Range Rover despite serving her current sixth driving ban, which is nearing its completion date. This is the second time she has been caught driving while banned – the first time being January 2019.

Katie’s current two-year ban was issued in the autumn of 2019, which she appealed. It was reduced to 18 months.
This happened in October of that year, meaning her ban will lift in a matter of weeks, if not days.
Police are set to ask her about this, with a source telling The Sun: ‘Katie’s been contacted by police and will be speaking with them later today.
‘There’s a real worry she’s facing a custodial sentence – if she’s banned again it’ll be her seventh driving ban.

The day before, Katie was seen driving her 32-year-old boyfriend Carl’s Land Rover on a public road in Hertfordshire.
An eyewitness said: ‘They were heading in the direction of the M11. Katie looked anxious.
‘She seemed to be biting her nails. How can she be so stupid when she’s only got a few weeks of the ban left to go?’
The ban was issued to Katie after her famous pink Range Rover was involved in a crash in November 2018, after which Katie refused to tell police who had actually been behind the wheel.
Driving while disqualified can lead to an unlimited fine and jail time of six months.
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 failed to 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 bane a month after this, when she was convicted with of drink-driving the previous October.
The former glamour model 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, according to The Sun.
Katie famously 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 former glamour model 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 reality star received a £750 fine as well as £200 in costs and a £75 surcharge following her conviction, according to reports.
