YOU’D think it might be a case of once bitten, twice shy – but Jeremy Irons has been caught for a second time driving with his dog Smudge on his lap.

The actor, seen in 2018 with his pet on a motorbike, has now been spotted sharing the driver’s seat of his Mini with him.

Irons, 73, was dining at Mayfair restaurant Scott’s with wife Sinead Cusack. They left the mongrel in the car as they ate.

The Highway Code states animals must be ‘suitably restrained so they cannot distract you while you are driving’. Breaching the code risks a fine of up to £ ,000.
