Rugby pundit and ex-Wales international Mike Phillips has been banned from driving after he was found to be three times over the legal alcohol limit.
The 41-year-old, whose full name is William Michael Phillips, was handed a 25-month ban on Wednesday.
The former scrum-half made 94 appearances for Wales between 2003 and 2015 and also featured in the British and Irish Lions tours in 2009 and 2013.
At club level, Phillips played for the Scarlets, Cardiff Blues and the Ospreys before he joined French sides Bayonne and Racing 92.
He ended his rugby career with the Sale Sharks in 2017, but briefly came out of retirement later that year to join the Scarlets for one game to cover injury.
Since retiring, Phillips has been a regular pundit on rugby matches, including World Cup coverage last year on both ITV and S4C.
He pleaded guilty to driving an Audi A4 on the road with 108 micrograms of alcohol per 100mm of breath.
