Caprice today pleaded guilty to a drink-driving offence.

The model was arrested in London last December, and admitted she was over the legal limit when she was stopped.

But her lawyer, Nick Freeman, claims that there were "special" circumstances which led to the incident, namely that she took an anti-histamine before she began drinking: "It was a consequence of something that she imbibed...that the offence took place," said the solicitor, dubbed by many as "Mr Loophole".

He added: "It's the extra additional matter that she took by way of medication which is the special reason."
