SCOTTY T has been banned from driving after being caught behind the wheel three times over the cocaine limit. The Geordie Shore star and Celebrity Big Brother winner was stopped in Newcastle on October 18 last year. On February 3, he pleaded guilty to two counts of driving with a controlled drug, which was above the specified limit. The city's magistrates' court heard that he had 32 microgrammes per litre of blood in his system while driving his Land Rover Discovery.

The legal limit is 10 microgrammes. He also had 800 microgrammes of BZE per litre of blood - above the legal limit, which is 50 microgrammes. Scotty T - whose real name is Scott Timlin - was fined £330 and banned from driving for a full year. He must also pay costs of £85. Scotty was born Scott Timlin in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in April 1988 and was raised by his mother Gill Baxter after his parents split up.

He is close to his father who now lives in Tenerife, where Scott lived for about eight months. He made headlines in 2018 when his company went bankrupt with thousands in unpaid debt. Despite him earning millions from his time on the MTV show, Scott's business - Scotty T Ltd - went bust with him owing the taxman a whopping £147,000. Scotty T previously told how he squandered an eye-watering amount of money he racked up from TV shows.
He said he spent the cash on boozy nights out and has "nothing to show for it". The reality star said: “I spent £1 million in two years. What have I got to show for it? I’d like to say memories but I don’t even remember it.". On his partying ways he added:” I've grown up, I don't go as much anymore.". "I’m very like one track-minded with work and stuff like that. And obviously I'm doing a lot of television. A lot of other things. Maybe a little bit of OnlyFans," he told GB News.
