Kris Marshall was arrested on suspicion of drink driving last weekend.

The My Family actor was stopped by police as he attempted to drive out of a supermarket parking lot in Somerset.

Marshall was arrested after he declined to undergo a breathalyser test, but later released from custody after posting bail.

He has been ordered to appear in a Somerset court on October 13 to formally face a charge of failing to supply a specimen of breath while being the person in charge of a motor vehicle, a police spokesperson told PA.

Marshall first gained fame in My Family and later went on to appear in the films Love Actually, Death at a Funeral and the short-lived Fox series Traffic Light.

The star will next appear on the big screen in Glide, which is expected to be released next year.
