KATIE Price’s community service duties have been revealed following her drink-drive crash.
The Brighton-born former glamour model was handed a suspended sentence after crashing on the B2135 near Partridge Green in September last year.
The 43-year-old was ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid work and was given a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months.

Her community service duties will reportedly include working in a charity shop and an elderly care centre.
According to The Sun, Katie will be tasked with duties such as washing and sorting second hand clothes and partaking in social group gatherings for the elderly.
Following the crash last year, she was also ordered to complete 20 rehabilitation activity requirement sessions within the next 12 months, disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to pay £85 costs.
She avoided jail by completing a stay at The Priory rehabilitation clinic.
Katie will reportedly begin her six weeks of community service next week.
She will also have to wear a hi-vis jacket while on site and will be banned from using her mobile phone, The Sun reports.
In a recent interview on Good Morning Britain, Katie said the events leading up to the crash were “really traumatic” and vowed to take steps to helping with her mental recovery.
“I’ve made the decision, finally, to see a therapist every week forever to deal with the traumatic events that led me up into that car,” she said.
“I feel ashamed about it. But it’s a new year and I’m still dealing with it all.
“I think people shouldn’t judge people. There’s always reasons for reasons.”
When discussing her mental state, Katie said she is “very good at hiding things”.
“It’s still been traumatic afterwards, so I’m not ready to talk about it yet,” she said. “But what I can say is, obviously I went to The Priory.
“There’s reasons why I got into that car and my mental state.”
She had already been banned from driving on six separate occasions before the most recent sentencing.
Katie also recently announced she will be releasing her eighth autobiography, which will include tales of her stay at The Priory.
She has previously released seven autobiography’s - Being Jordan, A Whole New World, Pushed to the Limit, You Only Live Once, Love, Lipstick and Lies and Reborn.
