Narinder Kaur has weighed in on Holly Willoughby‘s court verdict after she broke a scooter rider’s neck after knocking him over in her £25,000 Mini Cooper.
The former This Morning host, 44, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention, leading to the accident which took place on August 28, 2025.
During the collision, the victim was knocked off his scooter by Holly’s vehicle as she turned right into a street near her London home without indicating.
The man also broke his toe during the incident, Lavender Hill magistrates’ court heard on Tuesday.
In mitigation, Holly’s defence lawyer claimed that she had a ‘momentary lapse in judgement’ which was ‘completely out of character’.
Holly pleaded guilty and was given six penalty points and fined £2,444 which included court costs to be paid within 14 days.

After the news of the hearing broke yesterday, Narinder shared her thoughts on Holly’s punishment and wrote: ‘No prison time. A fine instead’.
One person commented on her post to defend Holly, writing: ‘It was an accident. It was careless driving, not dangerous driving.’
Narinder responded: ‘Yes… and? I’m repeating the article.’
Another remarked: ‘Bit of jealousy here, I think.’
Narinder hit back: ‘Jealousy that she broke someone’s neck?? I just said she got a fine and no prison time – I’ve simply repeated the article.’
Holly – renowned for her squeaky clean, family-friendly image – did not appear for the short hearing Tuesday morning, where she pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention via post.
Prosecutors from the Metropolitan Police sought to have the incident treated as Category 1A, the most serious offence just below the threshold of dangerous driving, a more severe offence.
Following arguments from the star’s defence, magistrates ruled the incident fell into Category 1B, suggesting the star bore some degree of culpability for the crash.

The case was called under her married name, Holly Baldwin; the star is married to TV producer Daniel Baldwin.
Holly had been driving the sporty hatchback in Barnes and turned right as the moped rider was passing her at approximately 20mph, the court heard.
As she did so, the rider, on a white Piaggio scooter, was overtaking her – and was sent flying to the ground in the collision.
He collided with the front wing of the car and was sent spiralling into the road – suffering a fracture to his neck and a broken toe.
Prosecutor Geraldine Dickinson told the court: ‘The defendant was driving [the Mini] in Barnes.
‘The intention was to turn right, which she did without indicating and the rider was thrown from the motorbike. This resulted in the injury to the rider: a C7 fracture and a broken toe.
‘[The victim] was riding his white Piaggio scooter, approximately 180 metres before the traffic lights, which were showing red at the time.’
The unnamed victim’s statement read: ‘I was travelling at a speed of around 20mph and was slowing down to stop.

‘As I was level with the black Mini Cooper the driver turned right without indicating in order to enter the road. This caused me to be thrown to the ground in the carriageway.’
The court heard that Holly got out of her car to help after the incident, offering the unnamed rider water and her mobile phone so he could call anyone he needed to.
She waited at the scene until police arrived – and admitted to officers it was her fault.
Ms Byrnes said of Holly: ‘She was traumatised to find she had caused this accident and the injury.
‘This was an unsafe manoeuvre. There was no indicator used. Whether she looked in her mirrors is unclear. The driver didn’t see the overtaking moped driver.’
Ms Byrnes added: ‘It’s worth remembering that Category A is for extreme examples of culpability. In my submission this was a momentary lapse of judgement and not an extreme example.
‘This error is one that was completely out of character for Mrs Baldwin, who is of otherwise exemplary character.’
Ms Byrnes added of the moment of impact: ‘She is extremely remorseful. She left her vehicle, she want straight to the moped driver, offered him assistance and water and her mobile phone so he could phone anyone he needed to.
‘She waited at the scene until the responders arrived, and she admitted responsibility at the scene.’
The £1,653 fine was reduced from £2,480 in light of the presenter’s early admission of guilt.
Magistrate David Charnley said: ‘She has pleaded guilty at the first opportunity. There was no use of indicators, mirrors were either not checked or the driver didn’t see the passing motorbike rider.’
