Katie Price has avoided another speeding conviction after the case was dropped just hours before she was due in court.
The former glamour model had been charged with exceeding a 60mph limit on September 13 and was also accused of failing to tell police who had been driving her £62,000 BMW on January 26.
The two charges were heard at a case management hearing at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on Monday, where they were dismissed as “no evidence was offered”.
The hearing was originally listed as being scheduled to take place on Tuesday, but was brought forward, reports the Mirror.

Katie did not attend court as she's on holiday in Thailand at the moment with fiancé Carl Woods.
It comes after she narrowly avoided jail last month and was handed a community order instead following her guilty plea to breaching a restraining order.
The mum-of-five was given a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, with 100 hours of unpaid work and 20 rehab sessions to be completed within the next 12 months.
She was also told to pay £1,500 costs at Lewes Crown Court.
Katie had admitted she had sent a text to ex-husband Kieran Hayler in which she called his fiancée Michelle Penticost a "gutter s**g" in an explicitly worded text, which indirectly broke a five-year restraining order.
She had been previously banned from indirectly or directly contacting Michelle following an incident at a school playground in 2019.
Katie branded Michelle a "c***ing w**re" and a "gutter s**g" in the messages sent to her ex in January.
When delivering his verdict on June 24, Judge Stephen Mooney told the star how in his judgement the offence was "committed out of anger" and the breach could not be "considered minor".
"In my judgement, balancing the aggravating and mitigating factors, the appropriate sentence is a medium-level community order," he added.
In a victim statement read to the court, Michelle said the impact of the restraining order breach by Katie had a “devastating effect” on her mental wellbeing.
She said: “The impact of what Katie has done is very upsetting, I feel threatened and intimidated. I feel demoralised and not wanting to go out. The language used made me feel scared. I felt it was an attack on me. The consequences are I feel she will attack me. I felt by having a restraining order it would make me feel safe but by someone breaching it it has made me feel very vulnerable.”
And last September, the 44-year-old was handed a suspended sentence after crashing her BMW near her home in West Sussex.
She was also disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to pay £85 costs.
