A week inside is fair punishment for his stupidity, he knew he was going to see the show, so why didnt he just either rebook the london trip or get himself excused from jury service prior to the start of the trial in which he sat on?

Lets face it a few years ago the excusal rate for jury service was something like 70% of those called for jury service. So its no biggy getting off it.


If there is any sort of credence to this story, I blame his mum, its her attitude that shocks me most about this story. I reckon its all her fault so dont think we should be slagging teens off in general for this,

Not the mum's fault......the boyfriend let the cat out of the bag

His boyfriend Christian Orr answered the phone and said Banks was not there because he had ‘gone to London to see a show’.
