Katie Price treats herself to customised pink scooter – despite 2-year road ban

Katie Price is reclaiming her independence after she received a hot pink scooter so she could get around with her broken feet.

The 42-year-old former glamour model is facing a long road to recovery after she suffered a dramatic accident during her holiday in Turkey.

The mum of five is now recovering at home after she faced complications during her recent surgery.

Katie will now be able to get around her home thanks to her customised hot pink mobility scooter.

Although the blonde bombshell is currently in the midst of a two-year driving ban, Katie has a new-found freedom thanks to her newly painted set of wheels.

According to government regulations, some types of mobility scooters are even permitted on public roads as long as they are registered and their owners do not require a driving licence.

The contraption has been fully customised to Katie’s standards and even has a personalised numberplate on the back that reads ‘Pricey’.

Katie appeared in high spirits as she tested out her new scooter around the garden of her rented Surrey home.

Wearing a pale blue ensemble, Katie put the scooter to the test by driving on the road alongside her pet pooch.

If that’s not enough, Katie also has a matching hot pink wheelchair for when she wants a break from her scooter.

An insider explained to the MailOnline that the reality star is certainly pleased with her new set of wheels.

“Katie will be able to claim back a bit of independence,” the source said.

“The scooter has been given a total makeover by Robbie at Valetmagic – he reached out to Katie offering his team to work their magic, putting a smile back on her face will certainly be speeding up her recovery.”

Katie’s latest investment comes as her family rally around the star and support her through her long recovery.

In recent days, Katie also announced that she was taking a break from social media to focus on getting better.

However, her social media hiatus was short lived as a new post appeared on her Instagram just three days later.

A representative for Katie has explained to the MirrorOnline that the post was pre-scheduled and that the star is actually still enjoying a break from her phone.
