A reality TV personality who failed a roadside breath test told police her surgically enhanced lips were too big for her to blow into a breathalyser.

Scarlett Harrison was found to be over the alcohol limit when she was stopped by officers for driving around Manchester city centre after drinking pink gins.

But when she was asked to give a breath sample back at a police station the 20-year-old - who appeared in the MTV's show Ex On The Beach - complained her collagen implants made it too "difficult" for her to get her mouth around the tube.

She attempted four times to blow into the machine before telling officers, "my lips are too big," leading to her being charged with failing to provide a breath sample.

At Manchester Magistrates' Court, Harrison initially pleaded not guilty to the charge claiming she was unable to give a breath sample for "medical reasons."

But on the day of her trial she changed her plea to guilty and was banned from the roads for 16 months. She has since sold her white Mini One.

The court heard how Harrison, who lives at their family's luxury home in Bramhall, Cheshire, was pulled over near Piccadilly station on June 20 after she had a row with a male friend she had been drinking with.
