The Walking Dead star David Morrissey was banned from driving today after being caught speeding three times in a week.

The 61-year-old actor was sentenced after he was caught driving his £40,000 black Mini Countryman at 46mph in a 40mph zone on the A406 in Willesden, North West London, at 5.41am on August 2 last year.

Just two days later, he clocked at 55mph and 48mph in 40mph zones on the A40 near Greenford on August 4 and 5, at 5.23am and 2.35am respectively.

Morrissey did not attend a short hearing at Willesden Magistrates' Court today and was handed an £5,700 fine.

Prosecutor Maya Arputham said: 'Morrissey should pay the full £1,500 costs for the trial last week included in the fine.'
