‘BT adverts star Kris Marshall copped a driving ban yesterday after he was nicked while sleeping off a boozing session in his car.’
‘Cops found the 38-year-old actor dozing in his Jaguar in a Tesco car park just after midnight.’
‘He smelled of drink. And when cops spotted the Jag’s key in the ignition, Marshall was arrested on suspicion of being drunk in charge of a vehicle.’
‘Magistrates heard Marshall, who also starred in TV sitcom My Family and the film Love Actually, willingly gave a breath test at the scene, which was positive.’
‘But he was “aggrieved” by his arrest, believing he was being responsible by kipping in his car rather than trying to drive home.’
‘At a police station later he decided to avoid giving a proper blast of breath, failing to lock his lips properly around the test machine’s tube.’
‘That sealed his fate – and he was charged.’
‘Yesterday Marshall admitted failing to supply a specimen of breath. He got ten points on his licence, which earned him a six-month ban as he already had three points for speeding and another three pending for using a mobile in his car. But Geoff West, chairman of the bench at Yeovil, Somerset, told him: “We have some sympathy with you.”‘
‘Marshall, who later refused to comment, had a gin on a train journey from London to Castle Cary, Somerset. He picked up his Jag and drove to Wells — near the village home he shares with his plumber girlfriend. He parked at the Tesco and went to a bar for more drinks before returning to the car.’
