Ex-Coronation Street star Adam Rickitt hit with drink-drive ban for 600-metre trip to pick up takeaway
Rickitt, 42, had been working late and drinking in a wine bar he runs - but was then called by his Good Morning Britain reporter wife Kate Fawcett to collect the meal she ordered. Police stopped his Skoda Yeti car on August 22 as he collected the food from near his wine, gin and craft beer bar, Dexter and Jones, in Knutsford, Cheshire. Traffic officers breathalysed him and tests found he was more than twice the alcohol limit having earlier drunk two single gins and a 65% rum shot whilst at work.
