The fiancee of new Superman star Henry Cavill has lost her driver's licence after pleading guilty to drink-driving.
Ellen Whitaker, an Olympic showjumping hopeful, has been banned from the roads for 18 months after she was caught drunk behind the wheel on 19 September (11) on the way home from a charity ball.
The 25-year-old athlete was pulled over in Knutsford, England and a breath-test found her to be more than double the legal alcohol limit for driving in the U.K.
She entered a guilty plea at MACclesfield Magistrates Court in Cheshire, where she told officials, "I didn't realise I was over the limit, but when I started driving I realised I was and was on my way back."
A spokesperson for Whitaker says, "Ellen would never condone drink-driving and sincerely apologises for her actions."
Whitaker met Cavill, who will star in the upcoming film Man of Steel, at the International Horse Show at Olympia in 2009. The couple announced its engagement in May (11).
