However, she was charged with two counts of failing to give information relating to the identification of a driver.

However, magistrates said they were not satisfied that a ban would cause Helen, who already had six points on her licence, exceptional hardship. They also ordered her to pay a £2,000 fine, £800 victim surcharge and £110 for prosecution costs. The actress appeared flushed as she left the courtroom after magistrates dismissed her pleas for leniency so she could ferry her children about, take them to meet their footballer father Scott Sinclair, and travel to therapy.
