Pundit Jamie Redknapp is looking to face a driving ban after being caught speeding twice in three months.

The ex-England star, who is now a Sky Sports pundit had to go to court last September after getting caught speeding in Twickenham, London, in March. He was also ordered to pay £1,032 in fines and court costs and was hit with six points.

However, by the time he was in court, Jamie had already picked up another speeding fine in June, leading to another session in court last month. There, it was decided that he would get an automatic six-month ban.

The March ticket was when he was driving his Audi A8 on the A316 Great Chertsey Road in Twickenham, south-west London. His motor was recorded driving 46mph in a 40mph.

The June offence was when he was doing 26mph in a 20mph zone in an Audi Q8 along Putney Hill in Putney.

This will be the second time Jamie has been banned from the roads. The first time was back in 2015 when he got a for a series of driving offences culminating in a him speeding in a Bentley on the M25.

Another of which was him doing 66mph in a 50mph zone in a Mercedes on the A3 in Hook, Surrey, in March 2010.

It seems he has a different car for each speeding ticket. His latest ban comes just over a month after his ex-wife, singer and TV star Louise, was also banned from the roads for six months.

She was pulled over by cops for using her phone at the wheel on her way back home from the school run. The court heard the 50-year-old had been trying to find an alternative route on a Sat Nav app to dodge traffic when she was caught.

She pleaded guilty to using a handheld mobile phone while driving.
