Football legend Paul Gascoigne’s step-daughter did not attend a hearing a Walsall Magistrates Court but the case was dealt with after she sent a letter of apology.

She also had five penalty points put on her licence. But it emerged in court she only held a provisional licence and the magistrates have urged the Crown Prosecution Service to pursue further charges against her now.

The court was told how the 19-year-old reality TV star was clocked by a police car on March 18 travelling between junction 7 at Great Barr and junction 9 at Wednesbury.

In a letter to the court, she said she had been rushing to her home in Malpas, Shropshire, to her mother Sheryl.

She apologised to the court and vowed to stay within the speed limit.
