Ex-Hollyoaks star caught speeding twice in six weeks but escapes ban because she needs car to drive son, 14, to football
A FORMER Hollyoaks star got caught speeding twice in six weeks but managed to escape a driving ban so she can take her 14-year-old son to football training. Phina Oruche played Gabby Sharpe in the Channel 4 soap opera in 2010 - now over a decade later, she has narrowly escaped a driving ban in Wirral Magistrates Court. The 52-year-old successfully argued herself out of the punishment by convincing the judges she needed her car to drive her son to football practice.
