She may have been in Spain last week soaking up the sun, but Katie Price faced up to reality as she spent time at a charity shop doing community service.
The television host, 44, was handed a 18-month order at Lewes Crown Court to carry out 170 hours of unpaid work and pay £1,500 in costs after admitting to breaching a restraining order.
Katie avoided jail after claiming she ‘misunderstood’ the rules of a restraining order when she sent a ‘vile’ message about her ex-husband’s fiancée.
On Monday, the reality star got stuck into shifting furniture at St Catherine’s Hospice, dusting down a bike and sorting pricing on items for sale.
Fresh from her holiday, Katie had a bronzed tan and covered up her ample cleavage in a purple T-shirt.

She teamed the look with blue Nike leggings and Ugg boots.
Katie appeared to be having a good time as she carried out the work and was seen with a smile on her face as she moved furniture around and chatted to fellow volunteers.
Carl Woods then arrived in a Mini Cooper to pick Katie up after her shift.
St Catherine’s Hospice runs 14 charity shops across West Sussex and East Surrey that raise ‘vital’ funds for the charity, bringing in more than £1.6million last year.
The money goes towards helping people in the community suffering from terminal illness who need specialised care, as well as loved ones in need of bereavement support.
Katie avoided jail after claiming she ‘misunderstood’ the rules of a restraining order when she sent a ‘vile and nasty’ message about her ex-husband’s fiancée.
Katie had been banned from contacting Michelle Penticost directly or indirectly for five years in June 2019 after she hurled a foul-mouthed ‘tirade of abuse’ at her during a row in a school playground.
She admitted to breaching the order, when she sent a text to her ex-husband Kieran Hayler, branding his fiancée Michelle a ‘gutter s**g’.

Banned: Katie had been banned from contacting ex Kieran Hayler’s fiancee Michelle Penticost directly or indirectly for five years in June 2019
The message read: ‘Tell your c***ing w***e piece of s*** girlfriend not to start on me.
‘She has a restraining order so shouldn’t try antagonise me as she is in breach and I’m sure she doesn’t want people knowing that she was having an affair with you behind my back. That gutter s**g.’
The court heard the offence was committed due to Katie’s use of the words ‘tell your’, which was an indirect attempt to communicate with Michelle.
It was also said her message to Kieran may have been triggered by an Instagram post by Michelle, which she denies was aimed at Katie.
Last year, Katie was handed a 16-week suspended sentence after crashing her BMW X5 while drunk in September 2021.
She then dodged a potential jail term in January 2022 after £7,358 fines she owed for driving offences were paid at the last minute.
