Glamour model Katie Price has been found guilty at Mid Sussex Magistrates' Court of not being in proper control of a vehicle.


The mum-of-three, was seen using a mobile phone while driving her pink horsebox, on the A23 at Baloney, West Sussex.


The 32-year-old, who already had seven points on her licence, was fined £1,000, and ordered to pay nearly £700 in costs. She also had another three points added, which leaves her just two points from an automatic six-month ban.


Price denied the charges, but prosecutors said she was seen on the phone for two to three seconds by two officers, who saw her make a "careless" manoeuvre into the opposite lane.


In court she told magistrates: "I'm just a typical woman driver."


As her punishment was handed out, the reality star whipped out her credit card and asked: "Can I pay now?"


The millionairess turned up to court with husband Alex Reid and her TV crew.
