Danni Menzies from A Place in the Sun weighs in on Kurt Zouma's cat-kicking verdict
Danni Menzies was absolutely enraged when she heard about footballer Kurt Zouma's meltdown, which led to him abusing his Bengal cat in the presence of a young child.The West Ham sportsman was sentenced to 180 hours of community service and banned from keeping cats for five years - but Danni had earlier revealed she didn't know what level of punishment would have been enough for the crime."I don't know what you'd do to punish someone like that," the A Place in the Sun star exclaimed.On learning that he had lost sponsorships after the attack, she blasted: "Too right - he's disgusting."It was really awful seeing that, especially because he was in front of his kids, wasn't he?" she continued."Teaching your kids that that's acceptable behaviour is disgusting."Danni has always been vocal about her passion for animal welfare, having previously run her own business rescuing sickly horses.Animals that would have been destined for the slaughterhouse due to previous neglect transformed under her watchful eye and even became show-jumpers.The project had been therapeutic both for Danni and her animals alike as she used it as a focus to help her recover from a bout of agoraphobia.Danni, also a dog lover, has also told of how she would love to present a TV show focused around animal welfare in the future.She regarded the attack by Kurt, during which he kicked, slapped and threatened to "kill" the animal as unthinkable.His brother Yoan had filmed the footage and then sent it to a love interest, who was so sickened by what she saw that she immediately called off their date, telling him: "Don't bother coming today."A judge sentenced the brothers during a 15-minute hearing, telling them: "Both of you took part in this disgraceful and

'Love going fast!' A Place In The Sun star Danni Menzies admits learning to drive at ten
Danni Menzies admits she's always been "passionate" about high-speed cars, but few fans knew just how far back her interests began.The A Place In The Sun star explained that her father had taught her as a child, in preparation for the future rally drives together that lay ahead."My dad taught me to drive when I was about ten years old," the 33-year-old tomboy confessed."I've always been quite passionate about going fast and driving cars."It was humble beginnings for Lamborghini lover Danni, however, as she reluctantly admitted with a laugh: "My first car was a Fiat Panda!"The car had been a hand-me-down from her grandfather, although that mattered little to Danni as she raced around the golf course of her family farm.There was no chance of a collision, as the former Formula Woman Racing presenter was practising her newfound skills on private property.She grew up on her family's Mains of Taymouth Country Estate, located in Kenmore, Perthshire.Two years after trying her hand at driving, she was then gifted a pony, which gave her a new focus.However, without "horsey" parents, she was forced to get to grips with riding without her family on hand to help.Later in life, when she'd grown up further, she kept up with her passion for driving by doing "a rally across Europe [with my dad]."Meanwhile, her first ever job in TV involved driving supercars.Danni seems to have come full circle after announcing her departure from A Place In The Sun earlier this year, explaining that she is yet again taking on the racing circuit on-screen."I've just been to Sweden for filming for a new project - it's like the X-Factor for female racing drivers," she disclosed at the time of our chat.She voiced a desire to work with animals for a TV show in
