A driver who killed former Hollyoaks actress Frankie Hough in a high speed motorway crash has been jailed for 12 years. Adil Iqbal was driving with one hand and using his phone with the other to film himself.

Iqbal, from Accrington, Lancashire, was arrested at the scene. Frankie, 38, Tommy, Rocky and Tobias, all from Oldham, Greater Manchester, were taken to hospital via air ambulance. Thomas and Tobias were both placed in induced comas in intensive care.

Ms Jules-Hough was on the phone to Thomas’ father who, along with other family, dashed to the scene of the mangled car wreck, as emergency
