Holidaymaker Jonathan Ashton, 34, of Moorland Road, Bolton, had a nightmare trip to Blackpool - with resort magistrates told he went to the loo and returned to find his girlfriend in the arms of another man.

After a row, he was then booted out of his hotel - and arrested for drink-driving on the way home, the court was told.

Jonathan Ashton was arrested for drink-driving following an argument with his girlfriend.

Ashton was banned from driving for a year and told to pay £239 in costs.
