Gabriella, whose stepdad is ex-Manchester United footballer Phil Bardsley, was arrested on May 11 behind the wheel of her Audi A3.
Crewe Magistrates' Court was told how she approached the scene of a road traffic collision in Wilmslow and 'attempted to drive through the police blockade'.
Charlie Hayward, prosecuting, said when officers approached her she was visibly intoxicated and 'slurring her words' and 'struggling' to stand on her feet.
She refused a road-side breath test and was taken to a nearby police station and was found to have 122 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath - the UK legal limit being only 35 micrograms.
The influencer, who stood in the dock in a black jacket and white trousers, pleaded guilty when the charge of drink-driving was put to her.
Her lawyer Gary Hughes told the court that she was of 'hitherto good character'.
But they handed her an interim driving ban and she sobbed as she left court, comforted by her former Sunderland defender father.
Gabriella could face an unlimited fine and/or disqualification from driving when she's sentenced on July 14.
The influencer appears on ITVX series The Bardsley Bunch alongside her famous parents and younger brothers Rocco, Renz and Ralphi.
Her stepdad Phil began his career at Man Utd before joining Sunderland in 2008.
He also played for the Scottish national team before hanging up his boots for good in 2023.

Three teenagers remain in custody over murder at seaside resort
Three teenagers arrested on suspicion of murdering a man in his 40s in a seaside town remain in custody, Kent Police have confirmed. The man, whose identity remains unknown, is thought to have died after being hit over the head with a large stone during an altercation on the Isle of Sheppey, by the north Kent coast. He was pronounced dead after the attack at around 7pm on Sunday in the Warden Bay Road area of the Leysdown-on-Sea resort after an air ambulance was called to the scene. A 16-year-old girl and two boys, aged 14 and 15 were arrested on Sunday in Leysdown-on-Sea and questioned by police. Local residents in the area believe that during the altercation, the man was pushed to the ground, and a stone or slab of concrete was dropped on his head. Yesterday, specialist officers brought out a sniffer dog at the crime scene and investigated in Leysdown-on-Sea town centre near the arcade. On Tuesday, the cordon around the crime scene remained but there has been no obvious signs of further investigation. Locals have called the incident 'shocking' and many have said that 'nothing ever happens' in the area. A shopkeeper, working at Oasis Stores across the road from the incident said he had run out to help after his wife said someone was having a heart attack. He told the PA news agency that he had heard 'when he was on the floor they had thrown the big rock at him', adding: 'It's not fair on the man, he was just here for holidays.' However there is dispute among residents as to whether the man was in fact a local. On Monday, a group of holidaymakers were heralding a local called Dean as 'the island hero' for trying to save the man's life. Andrew Owen claims someone ran past Dean shouting 'I've done him' before Dean saw the man lying on the ground and shouted back 'you haven't just done him, you've f****** killed him'. Detectives continue to appeal for witnesses and anyone with information should contact the Major Crime Unit via the Major Incident Public Portal. Alternatively, contact Kent Police on 01622 652006 quoting 10-1384 or report anonymously via Crimestoppers.

Jury considering verdicts in trial of priest accused of sexual assaults
The jury in the trial of a former priest accused of sexually assaulting women has retired to consider its verdicts. Christopher Brain, 68, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, was the leader of evangelical movement the Nine O'Clock Service (NOS), part of the Church of England, in Sheffield between 1986 and 1995. He denies one count of rape and 36 counts of indecent assault between 1981 and 1995 against 13 women. Prosecutors say NOS became a cult where Brain abused his position to sexually assault a 'staggering number' of women followers, exerting control over their lives and ostracising them from friends and family. Inner London Crown Court previously heard that a 'homebase team' – referred to as 'the Lycra Lovelies' or 'the Lycra Nuns' – was set up to 'care for' Brain, with witnesses reporting seeing the defendant surrounded by attractive women in lingerie at his home looking after his needs. Brain told jurors earlier this month that this was 'completely untrue'. Prosecutor Tim Clark KC previously gave an overview of the alleged offences, relaying accounts from complainants who made various claims – including that Brain groomed them, would touch them during massages and re-enacted a film scene involving rape or sexual abuse over clothes. Brain told jurors that some massages, intended to be for 'tensions' on his body, could evolve into 'sensual touching', which he said was between friends and 'no big deal'. He denied touching anyone's breasts during massages while a part of NOS in Sheffield but admitted doing so after his involvement. Brain said this was consensual and not forced. Defence lawyer Iain Simkin KC asked Brain if he would continue touching someone sexually if they were uncomfortable and the defendant said he would not. Brain rejected testimonies from alleged victims that he had tried to control people by making them wear the same clothing or lose weight, or that he discouraged them from maintaining friendships. Asked if he tried to start a cult, Brain said he did not, adding that those involved were 'completely anti-cult'. Jurors were sent out to start their deliberations by Judge Freya Newbery on Tuesday just after 12.30pm.
