EastEnders actor Steve McFadden has been hit with five points on his driving licence and forced to pay a £580 fine after being caught speeding. The actor, 63, best known for playing Phil Mitchell in the BBC soap, was pulled over by a police officer with a mobile speed gun in October last year. He was caught doing 35mph in a 20mph zone while on his moped near his home in North London.
His case was heard at a Special Judicial Procedure at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Thursday 17 March, though he did not have to attend the hearing due to previously pleading guilty to the charge.

He has also been ordered to pay £100 in costs as well as a £44 victim services surcharge. Not only this, but he now has five points added to his licence. Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.
