FORMER Corrie star Helen Flanagan faces a driving ban after being caught speeding twice in 17 days.
But she blames her boyfriend – and said she was “too busy being a working single mum” to remember if she had read court documents about the offences.

Flanagan, 34 – Rosie Webster in the ITV soap – was convicted in September of failing to respond to police prosecution notices.
She was asked to say who was driving her Audi Q7 when it was caught speeding on July 10 and 26 in Liverpool.
Facing Wirral JP without a lawyer, Flanagan said she thought her ex-footballer boyfriend Robbie Talbot, 45, responded because he was the driver.
When asked if she had seen the paper, she said, “I think I did.”

But she added that she was “confused”.
She said: “I am a working single mother.
“I can’t remember.”
Robbie insisted in court that he responded on behalf of his partner after she signed the forms, but prosecutors say police did not receive them.
Flanagan will face court again in January and has been advised to get a lawyer.
She was warned that there is still a risk of being banned from driving.
