BREAKING NEWS Rumoured Love Island bombshell tried to break through police blockade in her Audi while three times over drink drive limit - as she's supported by her footballer dad in court
Reality TV star and influencer Gabriella Bardsley today admitted drink-driving after she was caught nearly three-and-a-half times over the limit. The 23-year-old daughter of former Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley - who today supported her in court - and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley had been tipped to be part of this year's Love Island line-up. Gabriella - currently starring alongside the rest of her family in ITVBe reality series The Bardsley Bunch - has previously turned down invitations to go on the dating show, according to her mother. But today a court heard how she was 'slurring her words' and 'struggling' to stand after being stopped by police in her Audi A3 in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on May 11. She approached the scene of a road traffic collision and 'attempted to drive through the police blockade', Crewe Magistrates' Court heard today. Charlie Hayward, prosecuting, said when officers approached her she was visibly intoxicated. She refused a road-side breath test and was taken to a nearby police station and was found to have 122 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath - the legal limit in England and Wales being 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath. Bardsley, who stood in the dock in a black jacket and white trousers, pleaded guilty when the charge of drink-driving was put to her. Her lawyer Gary Hughes told the court that she was of 'hitherto good character'. He asked for a pre-sentence report to be prepared by a female probation officer due to 'matters that are sensitive to the defendant'. 'These are issues that can be ventilated at sentencing,' he said. Mr Hughes added that he hoped the author of the report would have a community order at the 'forefront of their mind' when recommending a sentence. Magistrates adjourned the case and Bardsley will be sentenced on July 14. But they handed her an interim driving ban and she sobbed as she left court comforted by her father. Bardsley could face an unlimited fine and/or disqualification from driving following her guilty plea. The influencer was rumoured to appear on this summer's Love Island as recently as April. 'Gabriella's already said no to Love Island and we do need to get her a boyfriend,' Tanya, 44, told Closer Magazine. Speaking of the family's new TV series she added: 'Gabriella just lives in fairy land anyway. 'So it's just another nice thing, you know, a little fairy land.' Her brush with the law comes after ITV bosses axed Kyle Ashman from this year's line-up following his arrest over a machete attack in February. The 23-year-old was later released with no further action, taking to Instagram to insist: 'I'm not a bad guy.' Tanya married Phil in 2014 and the couple share four children together - sons Rocco, 15, Renz, 12, and Ralphi, five, plus Gabriella. The Kardashian-style TV series about the family follows the ups and downs of the couple's life with their children and Tanya's parents. In an interview with OK! Magazine, Tanya described them as 'more like the Clampetts who won the lottery' than the Kardashians. Rocco, 16, received an ADHD diagnosis shortly after Tanya shared her own back in 2020. She has said they live in a house where 'everyone is on the spectrum somewhere'. A production team installed GoPro cameras throughout their home and placed small microphones in plant pots and on picture frames to capture the family's life. Last month Tanya - who made her TV debut on The Real Housewives of Cheshire in 2015 - revealed how two masked men attempted to break into her £2million mansion while her family slept. Luckily the gang were scared off before they were able to break into the property.

Meet The Rumoured Line Up For Love Island 2025
It's timeee! If I say 9pm everyday (apart from Saturdays!)… you say? LOVE ISLAND BABY! The time has come where we gather as a nation, 9pm sharp all singing from the same hymn sheet *hums to the Love Island theme tune*, let's go! Season 12 of Love Island is on the horizon and is starting any… MONDAY… now (we say Monday 9th June). We're all about to have a new set of hotties to follow on IG as the next Love Island cast enter the villa. Where is the villa this time? We don't know where in Spain exactly, but it's certainly won't be in the Isle of Wight as host Maya Jama revealed in ITV's latest teaser skit, which got us all pumped! Promising for more twists and more drama, this season marks the shows 10-year anniversary so we're expecting big things. Maya and her glam squad are ready after she posted on her IG story a total of six suitcases and three bags with the caption 'On holiday until I start Love Island'. Whilst Maya warms things up, who will be joining her in sunny Spain? Here's the latest on the first few rumoured contestants. Marking a first for the programme (if the rumours are true), Michelle Roscoe will be the first transgender contestant in the show's history. Currently working as a recruitment officer in Ibiza, Michelle can quite literally pop to the villa. So, let's not waste any time. Word on the street is that the ITV big bosses are working on it, so watch this space, we'll let you know as soon as we do. Can Ella Rae Wise go from one reality show to another… to another. Of course she can! Quick get her in before she has time to unpack her suitcase. Now we know ITV isn't shy of chucking a TOWIE star in the mix after the riveting arrival of Joey Essex in season 11. So if the rumours that Ella Rae Wise, semi-fresh from the CBB house may be on her way to sunny Mallorca as we speak, we'll take it. But what we don't want is Chris Hughes doing a sudden a 180 and appearance too – or maybe we do? You may or may not remember him, but Kodie Murphy was on season 11 of Love Island in 2023. Briefly coupled up with Amber Wise, the 22 year old may be back for another ride this year. This comes after he teased via TikTok that Love Island have been on the phone. And you know what - we hope they have. It wouldn't be a rumoured LI lineup without a cheeky celeb relation would it? Whispers are floating around saying that the eldest of Tanya and Phil Bardsley's children, Gabriella, will be the nepo baby of the villa this year. As the daughter of a Housewife of Chesire and a footballer, Gabriella will be no stranger to the spotlight having also already being part of her families reality show, The Bardsley Bunch . She's also a business woman, running Dream Skin where she offers skin treatments in Manchester. Practically a star already, let's get her in. Oh we're treating you now… we've got bombshell goss. Season 12's very first bombshell is rumoured to be Liverpudlian makeup artist, Lucy Quinn. A source told the MailOnline that Lucy is 'single and ready to mingle' and 'can't wait to enter the Love Island villa'… need we say anymore. See you on the telly Luce! According to The Sun, 6'5 London-based personal trainer, Aaron Buckett is a definite cast member landing in the Love Island villa this year. Take a look at his Instagram, and the flurry of topless pictures are making us want to believe it too - phwoar. It seems the fire pit won't be the only thing making things hot this season. Afia Kufuor has worked for Bauer Media since January 2025. She writes for Grazia, heat, Closer, Bella and Yours.
