TV star Billy Monger has been banned from driving after causing a huge crash.

The former racing driver and Celebrity Race Across The World star crashed into three parked cars in Surrey. Police say he lost control of his black Toyota Supra on a 30mph road in Limpsfield ploughing into the cars before coming to rest in a garden.

Monger, 25, of Stan Hill, Charlwood, admitted driving without due care and attention. His car hit a Volkswagen Lupo, a Volkswagen Golf and a Citroen C, causing damage to all three, before smashing into a lampost, wall and hedge in Snatts Hill around 11.55pm on January 19.

Monger, who starred in Race Across the World and is currently training for an Ironman triathlon world championships for Comic Relief, was disqualified from driving for a total of 49 days and was ordered to pay fines and costs totalling £2,694 at Guildford Magistrates' Court.

Rick Scholey, supervisor for the Road Traffic Collision team, which investigated the case, said: "Monger was not paying attention when he lost control of his car which resulted in him colliding with three parked cars, causing significant damage to the vehicles before then colliding with a hedge and wall belonging to a nearby house."

"Thankfully, no one was in the road at the time otherwise this could have had far more serious consequences." Monger is a commentator on Formula 1 for Channel 4. He has been hailed an inspiration after he lost both his legs in crash at Donnington Park when he was just 17 years old.
