Helen Flanagan supported by fans as she admits 'unexpected' turns after driving ban

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Helen Flanagan has looked back over the last month, which says featured a few 'unexpected' turns after she was banned from driving.

The former Coronation Street star appeared at Wirral Magistrates’ Court on January 15, having been convicted of two counts of failing to give information relating to the identification of the driver of a vehicle when required, after failing to tell police who was behind the wheel of her car that was clocked speeding on two separate occasions.

She then claimed that her boyfriend, former footballer Robbie Talbot, had responded to the police notices in order to identify himself as the driver.

During her court appearance, the magistrates said they were not satisfied a ban would cause the actress, 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, alongside the ban.
