HIGH SPEED COWBOY

Looks like car enthusiast Jay Kay will be taking the bus for the next six months…

Jamiroquai singer JAY KAY has been banned from driving for six months.


The star received the order after he was clocked driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle at 105mph on the A9 in Perthshire in February while overtaking.


Lawyers for Kay argued at Perth Sheriff Court that he needed his licence so he could have "respite" from his busy professional life.


However, Sheriff Robert McCreadie said the singer’s conduct was "entirely unacceptable."


Kay was also fined £750.
