I’m A Celeb legend Christopher Biggins has been banned from driving with immediate effect, leaving him depressed and shocked
A huge I’m A Celebrity star has been slapped with a driving ban by the DVLA. Christopher Biggins, 76, was told this year that his license had expired and he would need an eye test in order to have it reinstated.
After attending an optician’s appointment, he discovered he had failed the eye examination and had been banned with immediate effect. “Ten days later [after the eye test], I got a letter from the DVLA saying I had failed my test and I wouldn’t be getting my license back,” he said.
But after the news, Biggins said he booked himself in for more eye tests in a bid to have his access reinstated. He visited a doctor at Homerton Hospital, who said that Biggins had a full clean bill of health, before he had another eye test.
Biggins added: “How can they disregard a hospital doctor and another optician? It has left me very depressed.”
