Sarah Harding has been banned from driving for six months after she failed to stop for police, when she was seen talking on her mobile phone and behind the wheel.
The Girls Aloud star, 31, arrived at Highbury Magistrates court this morning.
She pleaded guilty to driving while talking on her mobile phone.
Her solicitor, Nick Freeman, told the judge that her celebrity status would make travelling on public transport a "massive inconvenience" if she were to be banned from driving.
But the judge told Harding: "Mr Freeman is asking the court to deal with you as opposed to a normal person.
"Well, you are a normal person."
The singer, who is looking to launch a solo career after the band split following their tenth anniversary tour, already had nine points on her licence and was disqualified from driving for the next six months as a result.

Sarah Harding was arrested after failing to stop for police last week.
The Girls Aloud star was seen making a phone call while she was driving on Charing Cross Road in London on Thursday. When an officer attempted to flag her down, she allegedly refused to pull over.
She was stopped minutes later, arrested, and taken to Holborn Police Station.
Police later confirmed that Harding had been charged with two offences. She is expected to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court on 16 April 2013.
She faces a minimum £1,000 fine and risks losing her license for using her phone while driving. Failing to stop for police when asked carries a further £5,000 fine
"Sarah was driving in a 4x4 when a policeman on a bicycle saw her and tried to make her stop," a source tols one British tabloid.
"He was trying to flag her down but she carried on a bit down the road where she was pulled over a couple of minutes later.
"She was talking to the police by the side of the road for a while before she was arrested.
"Apparently Sarah was very upset when she was arrested and charged. The offences are pretty serious."
