EAST Anglian star Darren Day has been banned from the road for 18 months after he admitted drink-driving.

The actor and singer, who grew up in Colchester, was also fined £700 at Cardiff Magistrates' Court this morning.

The 40-year-old, an ex-pupil at Sir Charles Lucas School, was almost twice the drink-drive limit when he was stopped by police in Cardiff city centre in June.
