Declan Donnelly's ex Georgie Thompson lands drink-driving ban and £1,000 fine

The TV presenter pleads guilty to driving her Porsche whilst over twice the legal drink-drive limit

Sky Sports anchor Georgie Thompson pleaded guilty in court

Sky Sports host Georgie Thompson has been banned from driving for 19-months and fined £1,000.

Blonde Georgie admitted being over twice the legal drink-drive limit after reversing her Porsche Cayman into a parked vehicle in Chelsea, West London in the early hours of 22 August.

‘It was a massive error of judgement on my
part and a huge mistake, for which I'm so sorry,' Georgie says in a statement.

‘I thought I'd left enough time before getting into my car, but evidently I hadn't.

‘There's no excuse and I've evidently learnt a harsh lesson.'

The glamorous TV star's sentence comes 4 months after her shock split from TV host Declan Donnelly.

Georgie, 33, has made no secret of her struggle to come to terms with the break-up.

‘It's really tough,' Georgie told The Daily Mail in June.

‘It's a really hard thing to live out a painful break-up when you're in the public eye.

‘It hurts, but we have to be grown-up.'
