Leave her alone....everyone in the U.K drinks and if this is all she done, she didn't hurt anyone, she's 80 for heavens sake......she knows more about this than anyone .....no it doesn't make her any better than anyone else, it just makes her better for herself.....leave her alone....we love u Rita......xoxoxoxoxoxo
Can't believe any support for her, DUI can kill anybody, at 80 years of age hope they take her licence away for life. Also if found guilty ITV should suspend her, they were going to suspend Kevin for drug taking which could only damage himself. Sorry no excuse get her off the road.
Absolutely pathetic and irresponsible comment from "Anonymous". People in the UK may drink but they dont always drive a 2 ton weapon. I have personal experience of a family member hit by a drunk driver over the Christmas period - 21 years old and dragged along for nearly a mile. Her death broke her family so SHUT UP about leaving selfish old women of 80 that should not be behind the wheel alone.
Anonymous is clearly a moron. Just because she is 80 years old and plays a soap character doesn't give her the right to do what she wants. I bet you wouldn't be so sympathetic to a random stranger.
I am so sorry about your experience Frosty.
I presume she is going to get sacked now? Chris Fountain got sacked for an anonymous youtube video. Surely this is worse?
