COVID sceptic pop star Jim Corr has had his driving ban slashed on appeal to six weeks.
Sunday Life can reveal that anti-masker Corr appeared at Belfast County Court last week to appeal his six-month driving ban.
The 56-year-old guitarist, of Sharman House, Old Windmill Road in Crawfordsburn, Co Down, pleaded guilty last month at Belfast Magistrates Court to a single charge of using a mobile phone while driving on the M3 in Belfast on May 16 this year.
The member of The Corrs family group (right), whose hits include Runaway and Breathless, was fined £85 and given three penalty points on his driving licence.
