The former television presenter was caught driving his Porsche and Bentley over the limit just 20 days apart last December. Telford magistrates gave the 56-year-old seven penalty points last week after police used speed camera pictures to prove the offences. He must pay about £1,770 in total costs, and officers had to find him at his Monmouthshire mansion after mail bounced back.
