Alan Carr's husband freed from jail after drink-driving sentence overturned

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Paul Drayton, Alan Carr’s husband, was freed after a 'harrowing' two nights in prison after a judge overturned his sentence for drink-driving.

The 50-year-old was jailed on Wednesday for reversing a 4X4 into a police car with an alcohol test reading 'off the scale'. He had been handed a 14-week jail term after pleading guilty to a single count of 'driving a motor vehicle when alcohol level above limit.' But on Friday a judge told him he should be given the opportunity to turn his life around and that his sentence would be suspended.

Drayton broke down in tears in the dock as he was told his liberty was being restored. READ MORE Katie Price says she hit ‘rock bottom’ after drink-driving crash He recently announced his split from comedian Carr, his partner of 13 years, and also underwent brain surgery just over two weeks ago.
