She was banned from the road for 18 months, fined £20 with £85 costs and ordered to pay £21 victims’ surcharge by Blackpool magistrates.

She believe she was under the limit so she drove to drop off her car before they were to go on to a party.

Hough might now have to move to accommodation at the farm because of the distance between her home and work.
