The wife of England international footballer Kyle Walker, Annie Kilner, has been fined and given points on her licence for holding a phone while behind the wheel of her car.
Annie, 32, did not attend the brief hearing at Chester Magistrates’ Court where her solicitor, Nick Ross, entered a guilty plea on her behalf to the charge of not being in a position where she could have proper control of her vehicle.
Annie was given three penalty points to add to the six points already on her licence and £677 in fines and costs. Michael O’Kane, prosecuting, told the court at around 8.30pm on June 8 last year, Pc David O’Connor of Cheshire Police was on patrol and stopped at traffic lights on Bollington Lane in Alderley Edge.
Mr O’Kane continued: “As he was waiting a car passed the vehicle, a black Mercedes people carrier EQV 300. “He observed the driver, Miss Kilner, she had her mobile phone in her left hand with the other hand on the steering wheel. “The officer then pursued and stopped the vehicle and engaged in conversation with the defendant. “She said, ‘My kids are at padel’ and that she was late.” The court heard a not guilty plea had initially been entered but Mr Ross, representing Ms Kilner, said she now admitted the offence.
