Reality TV toff Arthur Fulford handed driving ban and hefty fine after flipping his car on way home from the pub
The 24-year-old — whose family appeared in The F***ing Fulfords and Life Is Toff — lost control of the vehicle after drinking four to five pints following a cricket match, a court heard
REALITY TV toff Arthur Fulford has been banned from driving after crashing his car just yards from his family’s estate.
He drank four to five pints of ale and cider in a pub after taking part in a cricket match, a court heard.
But the 24-year-old — whose family has appeared in The F***ing Fulfords and Life Is Toff — lost control and flipped his Ford Focus as he drove home from a pub.
Cops who found the car discovered a note in a sealed plastic wallet which read: “Contact this number. Driver okay. No injuries. Apologies for car in road.”
Shaken Fulford downed more than half a bottle of red wine when he got home.
But when cops visited the Great Fulford estate in Dunsford, Devon, he claimed he only had alcohol after the crash.
He told them: “You don’t roll a car and not have a drink afterwards.”
One officer said Fulford began “swearing and was belligerent”.
Freddie Huntley, prosecuting, said: “He became verbally aggressive, resisted officers and attempted to drink from a glass of wine.”
