Love Island's Ellie Brown banned from driving after speeding at 101mph

Love Island star Ellie Brown has been banned from driving for six months after she was clocked speeding at 101mph.

The 22-year-old reality star was caught well over the 70mph speed limit as she drove her £40k Mercedes-Benz on the M42 in Warwickshire in June 2019.

Ellie pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing, before the case was adjourned to allow her to put forward her mitigation.

Although she attempted to escape a ban by insisting it would affect her work as an influencer and model, a magistrate rejected the 2018's Islander "exceptional hardship" plea after hearing she earns around £2,000 a week after tax.

Ellie was given six points, which amounted to a total of 12 on her licence and an automatic six-month disqualification, and a fine of £1,937.

Speaking at Coventry Magistrates' Court yesterday (25 January), she 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.

"I've learned my lesson and I haven't had any other offences. I've held my hands up and I'm really sorry."

Jack Fincham

Pen salesman Jack Fincham won the show in 2018 alongside Dani Dyer, the pair coupled up together in the first show and the rest was history.

Jack Fincham

After leaving the villa, Jack landed himself a TV show alongside Dani Dyer, appeared on the Celebrity version of Gogglebox and even hosted the NTA red carpet with Dani.

After the pair split up in April 2019, Jack has gone on to be involved in a number of sponsorship deals, as well as attending various events. He also recently appeared on The All New Full Monty.

Dani Dyer

Despite already having some fame (due to her famous dad, Danny Dyer) before entering the villa, Love Island certainly catapulted Dani into the limelight when she won the show with Jack Fincham.

Dani Dyer

After leaving the villa, Dani was in demand, landing her own clothing brand with In The Style, appearing on more or less EVERY TV show, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Red Nose Day, and releasing her own book.

Following her split from Jack, Dani was accused of 'cheating' with her ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, after snaps of them kissing emerged. However, the Love Island winner totally denied the rumours.

Laura Anderson

Despite her turbulent time in the Love Island villa, Scottish beauty Laura Anderson finished in second place with hunky model Paul Knops.

Laura Anderson

Despite her relationship with Paul not lasting, Laura has kept herself busy and she recently launched her own fitness and lifestyle website called So-LA.

Oh, and her Instagram is also filled with clothing deals from various brands.

Paul Knops

He was VERY popular with the ladies when he was a late arrival into the villa (probably due to fact he'd appeared in Britney Spears video), but it was Laura Anderson who he coupled up with finishing in second place.

Paul Knopps

After splitting with Laura just weeks after leaving the villa, Paul has continued to work as a model, showing off his good looks on his Instagram page.

We wonder if he features in any more of Britney Spears' music videos?

Kaz Crossley

After coupling up with Josh Denzel on the show, Kaz made it all the way to the final, with many fans wanting the couple to win ahead of Jack and Dani.

Kaz Crossley

Following her split from Josh, Kaz is well and truly living her best life, touring the world on modelling and clothing shoots. Just check out her Instagram to make yourself VERY jealous of her lifestyle.

In April 2019 it was announced she's dating Love Island star Theo Campbell!

Megan Barton-Hanson

Despite being very unpopular when she first entered the Love Island villa, Megan was able to turn public perception around, leaving as one of the favourites alongside Wes Nelson.

Megan Barton-Hanson

She's now a single lady after splitting from Wes, and released one of the best break-up statements of the decade.

Megan is now a brand ambassador for Pretty Little Thing, and most recently she took part in ITV's The All New Full Monty.

Wes Nelson

It took him a while to settle during his time in the villa, but he eventually seemed smitten when he coupled up with Megan Barton-Hanson, with the pair making it to the final.

Wes Nelson

Wes was in demand when he left the Love Island villa, landing a spot on Dancing On Ice in January 2019. Despite impressing with his moves (and being linked to his partner Vanessa Bauer following his split from Megan), the star finished in second place.

Wes is now living life to the full as a single man, landing clothing deals, attending events and being flown around the world to promote different brands.

Dr Alex George

Aww, Dr Alex! He stole the nation's hearts when he tried and continued to be pied in the villa, ending in him leaving the show as 'friends' with Alexandra Cane.

Dr Alex George

Despite this, Dr Alex certainly had the last laugh! After appearing on shows like Lorraine and This Morning to give medical advice, Dr Alex returned to his job at a hospital, saving lives every day!

Much to our delight, he's also super loved-up with his girlfriend Amelia Bath.

Jack Fowler

Despite leaving the villa with surfer girl Laura Crane, things fizzled out very quickly when they returned to the real world.

Jack appeared on Celebs Go Dating earlier in 2019, and despite fans loving his date Kate, nothing materialised between the two.

Most recently, Jack has been on holiday to America with his Love Island pals, and he often models for BooHooMAN.

Georgia Steel

She was like Marmite on the show, and eventually left the villa with Sam Bird, before their very sour split just months after the show ended.

Georgia Steel

After her sour split from Sam Bird, Georgia signed up to Celebs Go Dating (on the same series as Jack Fowler). Despite taking a very handsome man to the final show in Tenerife, nothing seemed to happen after the show.

She's now modelling and is involved in a ton of endorsement deals on her Instagram page.

Charlie Brake

Millionaire Charlie Brake swept Geordie girl Elilie Brown off her feet during his time in the villa, with the pair enjoying a number of luxurious holidays in the months following.

Charlie Brake

Just months later, Charlie was accused of 'cheating' on Ellie, and he's since been linked to former TOWIE star Ferne McCann and Dan Edgar's ex-girlfriend Amber Davies.

In other news, he's still a millionaire.

Ellie Brown

Following her heartbreak after her romance with Charlie ended, Ellie found comfort in her Love Island besties, including the likes of Zara McDermott, Adam Collard and Kaz Crossley.

She's now involved in a number of endorsements on her Instagram page, as well as attending events with her co-stars.

Samira Mighty

It took her a few weeks, but eventually Samira Mighty seemed to find happiness with late arrival Frankie Foster, with Samira leaving the villa after her man was dumped from the show.

Samira Mighty

Despite this, just weeks later, Samira dumped Frankie after he was caught cheating on her.

Now, Samira is still best friends with a number of her co-stars including Adam Collard and Dani Dyer, and she often posts super sizzling snaps of herself modelling on her Instagram page.

Adam Collard

He was the heartbreak kid at the beginning of the series, gaining the 'player' title, but the public's view of Geordie boy Adam Collard soon changed when he turned smitten with Zara McDermott.

Adam Collard

Although they lasted nearly a year, Adam and Zara announced they'd split on Valentine's Day (brutal). The PT has been linked to a number of other woman since, including Harley Brash and Delilah Belle Hamlin, but he appears to be single right now.

Adam is keeping himself busy on modelling shoots at stunning destinations across the world, as well as promotional deals and his PT business.

Zara McDermott

She was the one girl who seemed to 'tame' Adam when she arrived in the villa, and despite leaving before her beau, Adam and Zara reunited when he left.

Zara McDermott

Zara is very active on her Instagram page, landing clothing deals with the likes of Missy Empire, AX Paris and Lasula.

Eyal Booker

Despite having one of the best haircuts to ever grace the Love Island villa, poor old Eyal left the show without finding love.

Eyal Booker

Don't feel too sorry for him though, as well as THAT snog with Kendall Rae-Knight at the Love Island Christmas reunion, Eyal appeared on Celebs Go Dating and he's now dating American model Delilah Belle Hamlin.

Work-wise, Eyal continues to use his handsome face and unreal physique to his advantage, picking up modelling deals left, right and center.

Rosie Williams

Poor old Rosie Williams had her little heart broken by Adam Collard in the villa, resulting in her being dumped from the show far too early.

Rosie Williams

Rosie recently revealed to fans she'd been editing her photos 'too much' after Love Island left her feeling 'rubbish'.

However, the former Islander later told fans how she's been working with her family and friends to come up with ideas of how to recreate her Instagram, to bring back the 'sassy' Rosie her fans know.

However, the court did not rule in Ellie's favour.

Neil Gallagher, chairman of the bench, said, "Exceptional circumstances is a very high hurdle and I'm afraid in the circumstances we find it does not apply in your case.

"You're on a good income at the moment. You have done well but I'm afraid we can't avoid the ban and you will have to make other arrangements to travel around the country."

Following her appearance on Love Island, Ellie went on to star in MTV's Celebrity Ex on the Beach where she got together with 2019 Islander Michael Griffiths.

Their romance didn't last though, and it was later revealed that her relationship with Michael had caused a "rift" with her former best friend and his ex, Amber Gill.

Amber spoke out about the feud last year in an appearance on heat's Under the Duvet with VOXI, admitting, "I don't talk about that, oh my God. This isn't Ex on the Beach."

Her friend Anna Vakili added, "It's just mad, isn't it? Babe I've got your back, don't worry.

"I'm just saying that if me and [Amber] ended up not talking, I wouldn't go there [with her ex]. That's just something that you don't do, no matter what.

"If at one point you're that close with someone, like you were with Ellie, you just don't go there."
