EastEnders star's driving ban overturned as 'he'd be recognised on public transport'

EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick left court beaming today after a judge reduced his six-month driving ban to two.

The 27-year-old, who has played Jay Brown in the BBC soap for the last 15 years, is having to pay for alternative transport to take him to the BBC studios.

His lawyer claimed Borthwick is unable to take public transport in case he is recognised and could no longer drive his great uncle and aunt to their hospital appointments.

Borthwick was clocked speeding in his Mercedes at 52mph on a 30mph road in Romford, east London in May last year.
