A REALITY telly pal of Jennifer Lopez caught speeding in her £200,000 Bentley has been banned.

Amanda Cronin begged JPs to let her keep her licence as she needed a car to care for her mum — who “won’t accept” taxis.

But magistrates, who heard she already had nine penalty points from speeding offences, were unmoved and gave her three more.

That took her to 12 and an automatic six-month ban under totting-up rules.

Real Housewives of London star Cronin, 57, was caught by a camera doing 24mph in a 20mph zone in Earls Court, West London, last May.

The ex-model, who dated Wham! star Andrew Ridgeley and counts US singer J-Lo as a pal, argued she needed her £200,000 Bentley Continental to drive from her £4million home in Belgravia, central London, to widowed mum Janet’s home near Soberton, Hants.

Cronin told Bromley JPs: “She won’t accept going in taxis.

“My mum will suffer if I’m not able to drive her around.”

Magistrate Jo Caseby said: “You’re a good and attentive daughter but there are solutions which can be put in place.”

Cronin, who divorced millionaire energy mogul Mark Daeche in 2019, also owns a £12million home in London’s Mayfair.

She must pay £334 in a fine and costs.
