An air hostess found drunk at the wheel of her car at 4.30am has been cleared of any wrongdoing after claiming she had been sitting in the vehicle to keep warm whilst mourning a friend on the anniversary of their death.

Natasha Galletley, 34 who was dressed in her pyjamas, fluffy socks and a dressing gown tested almost twice the alcohol limit when police found her asleep in the driver's seat of her Nissan Qashqai after she had consumed almost five cans of Budweiser beer.

It took officers several attempts to wake the TUI flight attendant from her stupor and they said she appeared ''confused'' and was ''swaying from side to side'' as she being quizzed.

She was subsequently charged with being drunk in charge of a motor vehicle and faced a possible road ban, a £2,500 fine and up to three months in jail.
