  • Gladiators presenter Barney Walsh has been banned from driving for six months after being caught breaking a temporary 50mph speed limit on a motorway.
  • Walsh was driving his Mercedes-Benz SUV at 58mph in a temporary 50mph zone in south Gloucestershire last October.
  • He was sentenced at Romford Magistrates’ Court, where his lawyer said Walsh could not attend due to work commitments outside England.
  • The TV star, who already had nine points on his licence, pleaded guilty to exceeding the temporary speed restriction.
  • In addition to the driving ban, Walsh was ordered to pay a fixed penalty notice of £72, a surcharge of £28, and prosecution costs of £85.
