Mr Akabusi was caught speeding on a country road near village on the Isle of Wight. At the time he was driving his Range Rover Vogue which retailed for over £84k brand new. He already had nine points on his driving license and tried to fight disqualification by claiming in court that he has 'exceptional hardship.'

Mr Akabusis was one of Team GB's star athletes in the 1980s and 1990s - winning a silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and two silver medals in Barcelona in 1992.

JOHN NAISH: Should nitrites - chemical additives in most cured meats such as ham, bacon and sausages - be banned because of links to type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer?

The chemicals are also used as a preservative, as shown by items lists, such as E249, E250, and E251. Even the manufactures claim that nitrites produce food poisoning-free meats. And yet studies by leading scientists show that they will greatly raise the risk of chronic disease epidemics, as well as not help prevent food poisoning, as the manufacturers claim.

Where is Groundhog Day cast members now? The 30th anniversary of the cast members is here, so let's see what happened to them

The Bill Murray-led film, which also starred Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott, and Stephen Tobolowsky, was about a weatherman who became trapped in a time loop that caused him to live the same day over and over again.

The 30th anniversary of its debut will be February 12 - and the cast has certainly changed a lot since it first appeared in theaters all those years ago. Some of them went on to launch major careers for themselves, winning numerous accolades and starring in a slew of big movies and TV shows; however, others stayed away from the spotlight and are now leading pretty normal lives. Here's a look at how the actors of Groundhog Day are faring from the family comedies. From the ones who rose to the top and those who fell from grace.
