Ellie Brown has been handed a six-month driving ban, after she was caught speeding back in 2019.
According to Metro, the Love Island star was clocked breaking the 70mph speed limit on the M42 on June 5, 2019.
The reality star, who was driving at 101mph, appeared in Coventry Magistrates Court on Monday.

In court, the 22-year-old argued that a driving ban could affect her income, as she regularly has to drive herself across the country.
Ellie said: “I have been self-employed for the past two-and-a-half years. I was on a TV show and when I came out I moved to Manchester to do modelling and different kinds of media.”
“I do a lot of travelling to shoots and it could be anywhere from London, Scotland, Leeds or all over the UK. My fashion brand’s factory is in Leicester and I have to go there carrying a lot of stock.”
The TV personality added: “I’ve learned my lesson and I haven’t had any other offences. I’ve held my hands up and I’m really sorry.”

Unfortunately Ellie’s plea was rejected, and she was slapped with a six-month driving ban after receiving an additional six points on her license.
The 22-year-old, who appeared on Love Island in 2018, was also fined £1,660.
