"A woman, 43, was arrested on suspicion of driving while above the legal limit for alcohol and drugs, and has been taken to hospital to be checked over.

"The road was blocked temporarily while recovery of the vehicle was arranged."

In a statement that he shared on Instagram, Carl showed support for his fiancé and said, “Relationships are tested, people test each other – but when you love someone like I love Katie, you enjoy the highs and good times together, and that bond is tested during the low and difficult times together.

"Katie is a rough diamond. She has her imperfections however they make her perfect to me, she just needs that extra help to be polished.

"The sunlight will shine through her once again and the sparkles that she brings to everyone will return.

"I love you Katie 100%. My Dolly, always here, always will be.”

"And in a nightclub David held my hand behind her back, it was in my book. It was years ago."She has since thrown shade at Posh Spice's son Cruz Beckham.

She said: "I did a favour for @kavana_official by appearing in his music video as a favour when he asked by NEVER discussed going a duet with his and this is something that will NEVER happen as infact I'm in the studio recording my own tracks solo [sic]."

Katie Price VS Chris Hughes

We will NEVER forget Katie Price and Love Island star Chris Hughes' 2017 drama. It all began after Katie denied sending Chris any flirty messages after he said he was ignoring her.Things took a turn for the worse when Chris posted text messages she had sent him but it wasn't long before she hinted she has over 50 screenshots of private messages he sent her.Just when we thought things couldn't get any more juicier The Sun then verified that Chris HAD sent the mum-of-five private messages (even though he originally denied ever doing so). Pricey then went one step further and flashed one of those secret messages.Eek!

Despite some fans taking to the comments with supportive messages, some called out Carl's message, with one writing, “Polish her? Bit of a weird statement.”

Another commented, “Just needs that extra help to be polished. No woman needs help to be polished she needs to be herself.”

Carl’s post came after Katie’s family released their own statement on her Instagram page.

The post 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 she can hopefully return to the Kate we know and love as a mother, daughter and sister.”

Katie’s two children with ex-husband Peter Andre also shared their support for their mum as they both commented on the post.

Junior, 16, wrote, “love you mum” alongside a red heart emoji while Princess, 14 added, “love you mum so much.”

Katie is reportedly already serving a driving ban and if she's charged and found guilty following the reported incident, she could be jailed.

Earlier this week, Katie spoke on Good Morning Britain and revealed she's not allowed to drive until December.

"Harvey's in Cheltenham now, he keeps ringing me saying, 'Mummy I miss you, I need your kisses and cuddles', so it is quite hard.

"Because obviously I don't get my licence back until December, so I can't just whizz in the car down there and it's not close," she toldSusanna Reid.

Last month it came to light that a man had been arrested after Katie was allegedly assaulted at her home.

Shortly afterwards there were rumours that Katie and herfiancé Carl Woods had split but she's since hit back at the reports.

On her Instagram Story, she wrote, "It’s such a shame having such a good night these awful stories about me coming out in fact I never went out and said I’ve dumped Carl this is not true I was actually proud to be with my son Harvey I wish people would leave me and Carl alone."

It came shortly after Carl broke his silence on the alleged assault for the first time and insisted he "never would do anything to hurt her".

Closer Online has contacted Katie's reps for comment.
