Rumoured Love Island bombshell caught drink-driving three times over limit
Gabriella had tried to navigate her Audi through the scene of a crash which was being blocked off by police while she was more than three times the legal drink drive limit
Rumoured Love Island bombshell Gabriella Bardsley has admitted drink-driving after she was caught more than three times over the limit. The 23-year-old daughter of ex-Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley, was pulled over in her Audi A3 last month.
Bardsley, who was tipped to appear on the latest instalment of hit reality TV show Love Island, had tried to drive through a police blockade at the scene of a crash in Wilmslow, Cheshire, a court heard. When officers approached her car she was visibly intoxicated, 'slurring her words' and 'struggling' to stand on her feet, Charlie Hayward, prosecuting, told South Cheshire Magistrates' Court.
After refusing a road-side breath test, Bardsley was taken to a nearby police station and found to have 122 micrograms (mcg) of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath - more than three times over the legal limit of 35mcg per 100ml. Wearing a black jacket and white pants, she pleaded guilty to one charge drink-driving
Her lawyer Gary Hughes told the court that until now she was of 'good character'. He asked for a pre-sentence report to be prepared by a female probation officer due to 'matters that are sensitive to the defendant'. 'These are issues that can be ventilated at sentencing,' he said, adding that he hoped the author of the report would have a community order at the 'forefront of their mind' when recommending a sentence.
Magistrates adjourned the case until Bardsley's sentencing on July 14. But the glamorous brunette sobbed and had to be comforted by her dad as she was slapped with an interim driving ban. The former footballer also tangled with a waiting journalist as he walked with his daughter from the building.
Bardsley could face an unlimited fine and/or disqualification from driving following her guilty plea. The influencer was rumoured to be a new Love Island contestant with bosses keen to introduce her as a bombshell on the series which started this week. Her mum Tanya Bardsley revealed in April that her daughter had turned down the show multiple times in the past.
'Gabriella's already said no to Love Island and we do need to get her a boyfriend. Gabriella just lives in fairy land anyway. So it's just another nice thing, you know, a little fairy land', Tanya told Closer Magazine. But her brush with the law may spark the end of the road for her Love Island hopes, after bosses axed fellow hopeful Kyle Ashman following his arrest on suspicion of a machete attack in February.

Love Island fans beg bosses to axe islander after ‘cruel' comment to one girl
LOVE Island fans have begged bosses to axe Ben Holbrough after his cruel comment to Toni Laites on tonight's show. ITV2 viewers were left open-mouthed when Ben told some of his fellow Islanders that US Toni had given him the "ick". 4 Love Island fans have begged bosses to axe Ben after tonight's show Credit: Eroteme 4 The taxi driver stormed off during a clash with US Islander Toni Credit: Eroteme 4 Ben cruelly dumped Toni after he admitted she gave him the 'ick' Credit: Eroteme It came after he snapped at her when she told him to "not make it all about himself". He then told Shakira in the kitchen that Toni had given him the "ick" and that there was no spark between them. After Shakira told Toni what Ben had said, the Connecticut based beauty pulled Ben aside for a chat, where he brutally ended their romantic connection. But those watching at home were gobsmacked at his brutal approach and have begged for him to be axed next. One wrote: "Ben is a loser, get him off Love Island." A second posted: "Ben is unnecessarily cruel, it's giving negging & all the red flags." A third said: "I feel so bad for Toni, Ben is VILE." "I wish I could vote Ben off right now," a fourth commented. The fallout came after Ben admitted she gave him the 'ick' after her reaction to Sophie Lee being sent home. Shock moment Love Island cast realise two islanders who AREN'T coupled up have secretly gone to the Hideaway after VERY awkward lapdance As the Islanders are still reeling about Shakira Khan choosing Harry Cooksley, Toni said: 'Boys, it's your turn, just saying - I don't think you're gonna be safe.' Ben replied: 'Are you saying me in particular?' Toni added: 'No it's about boys, not everything is about you.' Her comments didn't go down well with Ben and he walked off - leaving the others surprised by his reaction. Meg later told him: 'That was a bit much…I don't get what she said that was really offensive?' Ben replied: 'She said, 'Not everything is about you…' I just got the ick.' Ben then told Shakira he'd got the ick with Toni and Shakira lets Toni know about this and suggests she pulls him for a chat. Toni does exactly that and asks Ben: 'I've heard from people you said I'm giving you the ick?' It quickly turned sour and he told her: 'I don't feel like me and you have got that spark if I am being honest.' Looking taken aback she replied 'okay' as he continued: 'That is just me being honest but I know when I have got it with someone. That I feel it straight away. But yeah I don't feel like you and me have got it.' Toni told him: 'I mean I don't think that technique is going to work for you here.' He asked what she means and she replied: 'Right away off the bat.' Smirking, he responded: 'You'd be surprised. I feel like sparks have already been made.' A very unhappy Toni hits back: 'Good luck pal.' Ben asked Shakira to join him in the Hideaway for a chat, where he admitted he fancied her.
