Sue Cleaver banned from driving

Sue Cleaver, who plays Coronation Street's Eileen Grimshaw, has been banned from driving after she was caught behind the wheel almost twice the legal limit.

The Manchester Evening News reports that Sue pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol, at Manchester Magistrates Court this morning. She was banned for 17 months, fined £1,000 and ordered to pay £100 costs. Her ban may be cut by four months if she completes a driving course.
