If you're thinking of Elizabeth Winkfield, it wasn't the TV licence she
was refusing to pay, it was Council Tax. As far as I remember, she was
fined, with the prospect of going to jail if she refused to pay the
fine. Didn't someone pay her tax for her?

Probably either UKIP or Max Clifford, since it later transpired she was
involved with both.
