Actor and writer Stephen Fry has been banned from driving for six months after he was caught speeding.

The 49-year-old Oscar Wilde performer was snapped by a speed camera in Norfolk as he drove 74mph in a 60mph zone.

With nine points already on his licence, magistrates in Kings Lynn then gave him the additional points for his ban as well as a £150 fine.

Fry did not attend the hearing as he is making a film in Hungary about the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann.
