Drive ban for daughter of TV stars
THE daughter of TV stars Richard and Judy was banned from driving for 20 months yesterday after pleading guilty to drink-driving.
Chloe Madeley, 22, was arrested in the early hours of August 16 after she crashed into a parked car and overturned her Peugeot 206 in north London. Yesterday Hendon magistrates heard she was almost twice the legal limit after drinking cocktails with friends in Camden.
Madeley, also a TV personality, had returned home to Hamstead but drove out again because she “urgently required the services of a 24-hour chemist in relation to female products”, defence barrister Alex Radley told magistrates.
Her car landed on its roof and the airbags inflated. Madeley left the scene but police went to her home where she confirmed she was the driver. “She was about to call the police when they arrived on the doorstep,” said Mr Radley.
He said she was now planning to support organisations that help victims of road accidents.
