An Emmerdale actress has been fined and given four points on her license after driving 17mph over the speed limit.
Lesley Dunlop, 69, who is best known for playing Brenda Walker in the ITV soap, was caught driving 67mph on the 50mph M606 in West Yorkshire on December 2, 2024.
West Yorkshire Magistrates’ Court heard the offence was recorded by an automatic camera device while she was driving along southbound on the motorway.
Ms Dunlop pleaded guilty to speeding and was ordered to pay £222 in costs, including a £80 fine, by the end of the month.
She was also given four points on her driving license for the offence.
Ms Dunlop was also accused of a second charge of failing to provide information identifying the driver of the same vehicle when requested by police on March 26.
However this was later withdrawn by the prosecution.
