Former reality star Jordan Finlayson appeared in a Sydney court on Friday for sentencing after pleading guilty to four charges of falsifying medical certificates while on bail.

But her legal representative at Downing Street Centre Local Court argued for the charges against the 32-year-old to be dismissed on mental health grounds.

Finlayson, known for her appearance on the 2011 season of Beauty and the Geek before a meth-fuelled fall from grace, was convicted late last year of driving while on drugs. 

Magistrate Brett Shields adjourned the former professional dancer’s matter until late May and continued her bail. 

It comes after Finlayson was required to report to police three times a week as a condition of her bail.

Yet the former NRL cheerleader produced fake medical certificates from multiple doctors in order to avoid attending the police station.

On Friday, she wore a silky black blouse and pants with towering beige heels as she fronted court to be sentenced for falsifying the documents.

However, her lawyer Ben Wilcox told the court that he would be applying for the charges to be dismissed on mental health grounds.

He asked for an adjournment to allow him to obtain the supporting documentation to allow the application to proceed.

Wilcox said Finlayson had been ‘quite overwhelmed with the costs’ of attending a psychologist to obtain a mental health report required for the move to dismiss the charges.

She would attend her usual doctor within the next few weeks to obtain a medical report, he informed the court.

Magistrate Brett Shields adjourned the former professional dancer’s matter until late May and continued her bail.

On at least four occasions, the agreed facts show she presented police with certificates stating she was unfit to attend the station on the days she was required to report to police.

The documents were accepted as legitimate until police raided Finlayson’s hotel room months later and found multiple certificates on phones.

Police were subsequently granted digital access to her phone to determine the authenticity of the certificates.

However, the former Penthouse model provided erroneous access codes after claiming she couldn’t remember the PIN.

After Finlayson finally provided the right code, detectives found multiple certificates on the phone in different fonts.

Doctors and staff who were named on the documents confirmed they had only provided certificates for some of Finlayson’s absences.
