He was caught driving his silver Ford Mondeo in Rayleigh at 58mph in a 40mph limit at around 11am on December 9, 2015.

Osuhon, 26, appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Tuesday and was disqualified from driving for six months, fined £500 and ordered to pay court costs of £150.

He was driving his silver Mercedes at 65mph in a 40mph limit in Leigh at around 2am on December 11.
