The news comes days after Katie had two charges against her dismissed in court. The two charges, including one of speeding, were heard at a case management hearing at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on Monday, where they were dismissed as “no evidence was offered”.

She had been charged with one count of exceeding the 60mph speed limit on September 13 2021, and one count of failing to provide information on January 26 this year. Sussex Police said that the speeding charge was dropped due to “insufficient evidence” to progress the case.

Last September, Katie was handed a suspended sentence after crashing her BMW on the B2135 near Partridge Green in West Sussex. She was given a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, with 100 hours of unpaid work and 20 rehabilitation activity requirement
