Former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan has been banned from driving for six months after failing to identify the driver of her speeding car. Despite claiming it would cause her 'exceptional hardship', magistrates rejected her plea.
Former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan has been banned from driving for six months despite claiming it would cause her “exceptional hardship”.
Magistrates said they were not satisfied a ban would cause Flanagan, who already had six points on her licence, exceptional hardship and also ordered her to pay a £2,000 fine, £800 victim surcharge and £110 prosecution costs . She added: “I think there might be a perception maybe that I would easily be able to afford a driver but that’s quite far from the case. I’ve got enough money in my account to pay off my tax and my VAT and basically that’s about it.”
Asked if she had spoken to Sinclair about whether other arrangements could be made when he saw their children, Flanagan said: “No, I haven’t. I’ve got a very difficult relationship with my ex-partner. It’s very, very draining.” She said: “I very stupidly and naively thought it was acceptable for my boyfriend to reply on my behalf to explain to the police it was him that driving, it wasn’t me.”
