It’s Ender the road as Dean gets car ban
EASTENDERS star Dean Gaffney got a driving ban after refusing to reveal who was at the wheel of his speeding Mercedes.
A speed camera snapped the 39-year-old’s motor doing 38mph in a 30mph zone in January last year.
The offence coincided with his final night in panto Aladdin at The Brindley, Runcorn. But Gaffney, Robbie Jackson in the BBC1 soap, would not tell police who was driving.
He denied failing to give information last October, then failed to attend his trial before Liverpool magistrates this month.
Gaffney requested an adjournment but was found guilty in his absence and this week fined £1,000 and banned for nine months due to a totting-up disqualification.
