Holly Willoughby fined as she moves to sell car involved in scooter crash

Holly Willoughby has reportedly decided to sell the black Mini Cooper she was driving when she broke a scooter rider's neck earlier this year.

The former This Morning star, 44, was involved in the incident on August 28, 2025, and pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention.

The man also suffered a broken toe during the collision, Lavender Hill Magistrates' court heard on Tuesday.

Holly was given six penalty points and fined £2,444 which included court costs, to be paid within 14 days. 

Sources told The Sun that Holly enlisted a dealer to help her get rid of the car and said 'the faster she can get it off her drive and gone for good the better.' 

'Holly was absolutely devastated that she's caused this accident. It really has shaken her up,' they said. 

'Holly wants a fresh start and doesn't feel right driving the car again after what has happened. 'Now she just wants to move on and get rid of the Mini.'

However, Holly failed to appear for the hearing Tuesday morning. Meanwhile prosecutors from the Metropolitan Police sought to have the incident treated as Category 1A, the most serious offence.

Following arguments from the star's defence, magistrates ruled the incident fell into Category 1B and serious offence.
