Reality TV star and influencer Gabriella Bardsley today admitted drink-driving after she was caught nearly three-and-a-half times over the limit.

The 23-year-old daughter of former Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley - who today supported her in court - and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley had been tipped to be part of this year's Love Island line-up.

Gabriella - currently starring alongside the rest of her family in ITVBe reality series The Bardsley Bunch - has previously turned down invitations to go on the dating show, according to her mother.

But today a court heard how she was 'slurring her words' and 'struggling' to stand after being stopped by police in her Audi A3 in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on May 11.

She approached the scene of a road traffic collision and 'attempted to drive through the police blockade', Crewe Magistrates' Court heard today.
