A BBC presenter has been banned from the roads after pleading guilty to drink-driving. Jemma Cooper had twice the legal amount of alcohol in her system while driving her Fiat 500 on Clifton Down Road in Bristol on August 31.
Bristol Live reports that the Bristol Points West weather reporter, 49, pleaded guilty when she appeared at Bristol Magistrates' Court on December 3.
When tested, she was found to have 71 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 35. Magistrates fined her £440 and told her to pay a £44 victim surcharge as well as £85 court costs.
She was also banned from driving for 17 months, which can be reduced by 130 days if she completes a specified course by October 23 next year.
