Helen Flanagan was recently seen in court, accompanied by her boyfriend, facing a driving charge. The former Coronation Street actress, 34, has reportedly been banned from driving after being caught speeding twice within two weeks. Flanagan, who was found guilty in September of not responding to prosecution notices, blamed her boyfriend for driving her Audi Q7 during the incidents in Liverpool.

When asked by Wirral JP if she had seen the court documents, Ms Flanagan said: “I think I have.”
But then she added that she was “confused” and “couldn’t remember” because she was a “busy, working single mother”.
