A primary school maths teacher who hacked into a colleague’s phone and found an intimate video of her before trying to send it to himself on WhatsApp has been banned from teaching.

Brendon Fallows, 37, took the phone out of the woman’s coat pocket and guessed her password so he could look through her photos and videos, a Teaching Regulation Agency panel was told.
