A former BBC Breakfast executive has been banned from driving for two years after drink driving nearly three times over the limit.
Jessica Shiddell failed a breathalyser test after the Renault Captur she was driving rolled onto its side after she crashed into a parked car on August 20 last year. 41-year-old Shiddell was on her way to help an ex-boyfriend.
Further tests showed that Shiddell, who worked as an assistant editor with BBC Breakfast when anchorman Bill Turnbull was presenting, had 215 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of her blood. The legal limit in England is 80mg.
