Rihanoff, a former Strictly Come Dancing star, was caught behind the wheel pf her 72-plate Audi Q3 in Horsemarket, Northampton, on April 4.
Appearing at Northampton Crown Court under the name Kristina Pchenitchnykh, the Russian ballroom specialist sobbed throughout Friday’s proceedings and at one point asked to leave the room because she ‘felt sick.’
Mother-of-one Rihanoff, 46, had six points added to her license, but faced a potential driving ban after amassing 12 penalty points.
During Friday’s appeal, Cohen – appearing as her witness – admitted to overlooking a text message from his insurance company prior to the incident.
