LIBERTY X star Jessica Pietersen beat a speeding charge after hiring lawyer Nick Freeman, known as “Mr Loophole”.
The 45-year-old, married to ex-England cricketer Kevin, was accused of doing 28mph in a 20mph zone in West London last November.
The mum of two, from Sunningdale, Berks, did not appear at Lavender Hill magistrates’ court, where the case was dropped yesterday.
Prosecutor John Shepherd said: “We will be offering no evidence for various technical reasons.
“I have spoken to a Crown Prosecution Service manager and my instructions are to offer no evidence in relation to Mrs Pietersen and for the matter to be dismissed and that is all I have to say.
“She has been paying privately for representation so there is an application for a defence costs order”.
The star’s lawyer, instructed by Mr Freeman’s firm, declined to say why.
Liberty X came second to Hear’Say in 2001’s Popstars and topped the charts with Just a Little.
Jessica, who married Pietersen in 2007, still performs as a Liberty X trio with Michelle Heaton and Kelli Young.
