Ant was more than twice the legal limit when he caused that crash. There are no excuses.

Ł86,000 fine and a 20 month driving ban (reduced to 15 if he completes a referral course by May 2019)



And the statement he gave when interviewed:

He is only sorry because he got caught. If he had not been caught he would still be doing it. No sympathy from me.

Quote:
McPartlin's barrister said his client had been seeking help for "alcohol and emotional issues" at the time of the crash.

He told the judge the incident was down to "a brief relapse" unbeknownst to McPartlin's mother.

"Anthony McPartlin is sorry and is doing everything he can to ensure this never happens again," Mr Walker said.

"He hopes that in time he can make himself better and that he might be forgiven by all of the many people he knows and he feels he has let down terribly."

Its hard to feel sorry for him as he could have seriously hurt or killed someone. On the other hand he is obviously suffering from some issues himself. I know I will be jumped all over for saying that and I do not condone his behaviour but he has pleaded guilty, taken the punishment, apologised publicly and only time will tell if his career can survive so there is not much more he can do now although people will still want blood I'm sure.

Is anyone buying that his Mum was sat next to him in an enclosed space and didn't know he had been drinking?

not for a second. Looking at the photo of him at the scene, he was quite clearly drunk as a skunk

Not necessarily if it's a first offence.

You're right. Civilians do get a fine and banned from driving etc on their first offence so Ant isn't getting no special treatment there

however, i do believe because he is a loved celebrity he gets sympathy but if he wasn't people wouldn't be happy with this story.

I dunno, it's a tough one. He did something really stupid (but hardly monstrous) and could have seriously hurt someone. On the other hand... it's not like he's been partying / living it up for the last couple of years care-free or anything like that. He's quite clearly a very unhappy individual, probably clinically depressed. I personally do feel sympathy for anyone going through that; it's certainly not a picnic.

the Ł86k fine was because it was 2/3 of his weekly wages of 130K

Completely agree TS.

I feel people think because he's rich and famous he is infallible. His wealth and fame will have compounded his problems. I just hope this rehab will help him lay his demons to rest
