Nepo baby sobs as she pleads GUILTY to being three-and-a-half times drink-driving after talks to join Love Island
The stunning brunette, 23, was supported by her dad - ex-Manchester United footballer Phil Bardsley - after she admitted being three-and-a-half times the alcohol limit.

Gabriella, whose mum is Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley, was arrested on May 11 behind the wheel of her Audi A3.
Crewe Magistrates' Court was told how she approached the scene of a road traffic collision in Wilmslow and 'attempted to drive through the police blockade'.
Charlie Hayward, prosecuting, said when officers approached her she was visibly intoxicated and 'slurring her words' and 'struggling' to stand on her feet.
She refused a road-side breath test and was taken to a nearby police station and was found to have 122 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath - the UK legal limit being only 35 micrograms.
The influencer, who stood in the dock in a black jacket and white pants, pleaded guilty when the charge of drink-driving was put to her.
Her lawyer Gary Hughes told the court that she was of 'hitherto good character'.
But they handed her an interim driving ban and she sobbed as she left court comforted by her former Sunderland defender father.
Gabriella could face an unlimited fine and/or disqualification from driving when she's sentenced on July 14.
Her brush with the law may spark the end of the road for her Love Island hopes.
She was rumoured to be taking part in this year's reality show and had talks about joining the villa.
It came after mum Tanya revealed she'd turned down producers multiple times in the past, adding: 'We do need to get her a boyfriend. Gabriella just lives in fairy land anyway.'
Bosses have already been forced to boot out fellow hopeful Kyle Ashman after The Sun revealed his arrest for an alleged machete attack in February.

The 23-year-old was quizzed after masked thugs stormed a wake in Stafford and hacked at a dad with a blade.
Ashman was one of two quizzed but released with no further action.
Sources said the channel was unaware of the incident and he was not flagged as part of contestant checks.
The victim, 38, nearly lost his arm and had to be rushed to hospital for emergency treatment.
Kyle said: 'I fully co-operated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident.
'I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.'
We also revealed Dejon Noel-Williams became the second Islander to face a police probe, after he was accused of stealing a phone on a night out.
The semi-pro footballer, 26, who is appearing in the new series, was interviewed after a woman's mobile was taken in London.
He was quizzed by cops alongside Kettering FC footballer Harlain Mbayo, who was ordered to carry out a community resolution, which can involve an apology or compensation.
The dispute was sparked over payment for food and an Uber taxi ride.
Personal trainer Dejon told The Sun: 'I was never arrested.
'I voluntarily spoke to the police to clarify the truth about what happened in this incident, with no further action taken.
'To stress, my intentions here were entirely honourable and it is very upsetting to read claims that suggest otherwise.'
ITV added: 'We speak to our Islanders in advance of the show in addition to rigorous background screening, including DBS checks.'

Why Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz didn't invite his brothers Romeo and Cruz to their lavish second wedding amid his family feud
Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz recently had a lavish 'second' wedding, however his parents David and Victoria were noticeably absent from the guest list. Posh and Becks weren't the only family members of Brooklyn's missing from the 200 people guest list, as his brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, were also not invited. The brothers absence was reportedly down to a series of online 'trolling' from the duo, according to those close to Brooklyn and Nicola. A friend told The Mirror: 'Brooklyn's brothers have been fanning the openly made fun of and trolled Brooklyn in comments on social media.' Earlier this year, Cruz seemed to issue yet another swipe at elder brother Brooklyn after declaring the 'truth would unfold' amid the family's bitter fallout. Shortly after posting the pointed lyrics from The Beatles 1969 song, he took to social media once again to upload a video of himself playing the guitar. While the post quickly garnered more than 15,000 likes on TikTok, it also attracted a series of comments from trolls - with Cruz quick to hit back. One commented: 'Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?' To which Cruz - seemingly throwing shade at his brother Brooklyn's many career paths - responded: 'Wrong brother mate'. Over the years, Brooklyn has tried his hand at several different careers from modelling, to photography to becoming a chef and most recently training as a Formula E driver. It is unknown why the simple social media comments would have bothered Brooklyn to that extent. The actress has previously been accused of 'isolating' Brooklyn from not only his family, but his friends too. As well as Posh, Becks and his brothers, Brooklyn's sister Harper, his grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online. The Peltz's friend was responding to questions as to why it was necessary to ban the whole Beckham family from the wedding celebration on August 2. Cruz was asked: 'Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?' To which Cruz - seemingly throwing shade at his brother Brooklyn's many career paths - responded: 'Wrong brother mate' Over the years, Brooklyn has tried his hand at several different careers from modelling, to photography to becoming a chef and most recently training as a Formula E driver As one insider said: 'They are trying to make the best decisions for them in what are very unfortunate circumstances. Navigating family stuff is hard and it's ugly.' Astonishingly, they still claim to hope for a reconciliation, the pal added: 'The door is open. No one wants to see this kind of pain exist. There is always hope. At the end of the day. Blood is thicker than water.' Daily Mail has contacted Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckhams' representatives for comment. Brooklyn and wife Nicola, who first wed in 2022, said 'I do' for a second time in Westchester County in front of her family who had key roles in the day, with the Beckham clan nowhere in sight. Nicola wore her 70-year-old mother's vintage 1985 bridal gown for the big day, while her father Nelson, 83, was given the key role of officiating. Brooklyn become increasingly estranged from his family since he snubbed his father's 50th birthday, and now, the family fear it's a final kick in the teeth. A source told The Sun: 'This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria. Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially. Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited. 'His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them.' The source added: 'It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that. This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy - and see no way back. 'Honestly, they are now questioning why he even wants to keep the 'Beckham' surname - will he revert to Peltz? August 2nd 2025 - is this the day Brooklyn formally declared himself no longer a part of the Beckham family? It certainly feels like it.'. As well as Posh, Becks and his brothers, Brooklyn's sister Harper, his grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online (family seen before feud) Daily Mail has contacted Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckhams' representatives for comment. Brooklyn and Nicola first tied the knot in a lavish £3million ceremony in 2022, when relations first began to sour with his parents in the run-up to the big day. After shunning a dress made by her fashion designer Victoria mother-in-law in favour of a Valentino gown in 2022 - a choice which wasn't well received - Nicola once again snubbed the Spice Girl and wore her mother Claudia's vintage wedding gown. It is a poignant message to Posh and Becks', whom he and Nicola have grown increasingly estranged over recent months. All the while the Beckhams were said to be upset by the Peltz's in 2022 who they felt were taking over the wedding. And ever since their first big nuptials in April 2022, the two families have not reunited and Nicola has rarely been pictured with the Beckhams. The couple shared the images on Instagram on Monday, alongside the words 'only love.' Nicola wore the same original $1.8mill ring set adding a glinting filter onto the dazzling jewels. Brooklyn described the vow renewal as a 'really beautiful experience' while admitting he is still head-over-heels for his wife. Speaking for the first time about the day, the 26-year-old admitted he'd happily do it 'every single day' if he could. Brooklyn said the moment was all about creating a 'really cute memory' they'd treasure forever.

Woman, 23, who tried to smuggle £800,000 worth of crack cocaine into the UK in a wheel of cheese is jailed
A woman who tried to smuggle £800,000 worth of crack cocaine into the UK stashed in a hollowed-out cheese wheel has been jailed. US national Jamie Choi, 23, was stopped by Border Force officers at Heathrow on May 25 after arriving on a flight from Brazil. The California resident was then asked about the 8kg Parmesan cheese wheel she had with her. Choi claimed a friend had suggested she buy the cheese from Lima, Peru, for them to try, but when officers examined the wheel they found it contained crack cocaine. Forensic analysis later revealed the drug to be 94 per cent pure - giving it a street value of £800,000. The National Crime Agency, took over the investigation, tracing Choi's route zig-zagging across South America after flying from Los Angeles to Lima on May 20, 2025. The next day, Choi travelled to Asuncion, Paraguay, and on May 24, she flew to Heathrow Airport, after connecting through Sau Paulo, Brazil. A notebook was found in Choi's handbag, which contained a single handwritten memo dated May 21 – the day she left Lima. It read: 'I dropped out of UCSB (University of California Santa Barbara) on Monday. Currently I am in Paraguay in South America solo travelling for the first time. It's been amazing so far.' Choi, who was charged with importing Class A drugs, pleaded guilty to the offence at Isleworth Crown Court on 6 August. NCA senior investigating officer, Barry Vinall, said: 'We've seen people trying to smuggle cocaine into the UK hidden inside all manner of innocuous looking items, but Border Force and the National Crime Agency are well-practised in finding drugs, whatever the disguise. 'Smuggling drugs into the UK is simply not a risk work taking – it has consequences, as seen in this case.' Choi was jailed for five years and three months on August 12. It comes after last month three Brits who had been warned they faced the death penalty for smuggling drugs into Bali hidden in Angel Delight packets were let off with just a one-year prison sentence. The Indonesian court instead gave 12-month prison terms to the three British nationals, all from Hastings and St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex, who had been accused of drug running on the resort island. Jonathan Christopher Collyer, 38, and Lisa Ellen Stocker, 39, were arrested on February 1 after being stopped at Bali's international airport with 17 packages of cocaine that weighed nearly a kilogram, according to public court records. They appeared in court alongside Phineas Ambrose Float, 31, who was allegedly due to receive the packages from them and was arrested a few days later in February. The trio appeared in distinctive white and red prison uniforms before a panel of judges at Denpasar District Court on July 24. Presiding judge Heriyanti declared that all three suspects had violated article 131 of Indonesian Narcotic law - but said he was reducing the sentence because they had admitted their offences and had behaved 'politely'. All three defendants stated that they accepted the verdict and would not file an appeal. The time served since their arrest in February will count towards their sentence, meaning they should be released early next year. The shorter sentence was a surprise as convicted drug traffickers, especially those caught with large quantities, have in the past been executed by firing squad in Indonesia, including foreign nationals.

How fraudster on a jet ski runs a network of cold calling sharks who 'groom' victims into taking out fake domestic appliance cover. So are YOU on their 'suckers list'?
Hundreds of thousands of households are being fleeced by fraudsters who sell them fake insurance for appliances, electrical goods and domestic repairs, a Money Mail investigation has found. Scammers bombard targets with around 40 million cold calls a year, with the true scale of the fraud unknown because most victims do not report it.
