Celebrity Big Brother's Jack Tweed has been banned from driving for a year.
The 19-year-old claimed that he drove his BMW for just thirty seconds after returning home from a party to help girlfriend Jade Goody. Goody had called Jack when she locked herself out of her ?500,000 home, and police arrived after being contacted about a disturbance at their property.
Katy Appleton, prosecuting, explained: "The BMW was in the road blocking her Range Rover. Both had breath tests and Jack failed."
Tweed admitted that he had consumed four beers, had no insurance and only a provisional licence. As well as being given the driving ban, he was fined ?1,100 at Chelmsford court yesterday.
