Former Bachelor star Davey Lloyd has pleaded guilty to drink driving after being caught with more than double the legal limit of alcohol in his system following a night out with his girlfriend, Georgia Cook.
WATCH Davey gushes about girlfriend Georgia Cook
The reality star was fined $850 and disqualified from getting behind the wheel for three months after admitting to drink driving at Manly Local Court last Wednesday, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The Bachelor in Paradise star was found to have an alcohol rating of 0.114, more than double the legal limit, after being stopped by police for a random breath test on September 2.
At the same time and at the same RBT, police pulled over his girlfriend, NRL cheerleader Georgia Cook for a random breath test where she blew 0.83 and was charged with the same offence.
The judge also ordered Davey’s car be fitted with an alcohol interlock device for 12 months.
Speaking outside court on October 16, Davey issued a public apology.
“I’ve got to live with having the interlock now and I’m going to take this as a blessing in disguise and tell all of my friends and family how easy it is to get caught,” he said.
“I’m very sorry and it will never happen again. I will use this time wisely to reflect.”
“I’d actually been at an event with dinner, over three hours, and the drinks, it was a stupid mistake. I had four but they were actually 1.8 standard drinks. It was by accident and I never knew that. But it’s so easy to be misled.”
