KATIE Price’s family said they are "worried about her mental health" after she was reportedly taken to hospital following a “drink-drive” crash.

The glamour model's relatives said "our fears nearly came true" when she flipped her car this morning while banned from driving, according to The Sun.

A dramatic photograph is believed to show the aftermath of the crash near Partridge Green, with police and paramedics called to the scene.

Her family have now posted a statement on her Instagram page saying the 43-year-old was "unwell" and was getting the "necessary treatment".

The Argus:

The statement read: “As a family we have for some time been concerned about Kate’s wellbeing and overall mental health. Today our worst fears nearly came true. As a family we have been and will continue to help Kate get the help she needs.

“We hope that she will realise that she cannot battle her issues alone. We would kindly ask that the media and wider public give Kate the time and space she needs to seek the necessary treatment, so that she can hopefully return to the Kate we know and love as a mother, daughter and sister.

“We are concerned and worried about her deeply, we know she lives her life publicly and to many she is fair game, but as a family we hope she can find her path privately moving forward during this very difficult period in her life. We are not asking for sympathy – just that is recognised that Kate is unwell.

“We take great comfort in reading the messages of support and love for Kate that we will pass on to her, in the hope that these positive messages will help spur her on.

“It takes great strength for one to acknowledge they need help, we hope the door is now open for Kate to learn to love herself and to be happy within. Mental illness is not a personal failure.”

Sussex Police confirmed that officers responded to reports of a single-vehicle collision on the B2135 at around 6.20am. 

While an officer shared a photograph of a crash in the West Grinstead area on Twitter and said the “occupant of the vehicle is thankfully on the whole okay”.
