Ex-Strictly contestant Will Young may face fine for leaving car illegally parked in disabled bay for an hour
The Pop Idol winner left his car in a space reserved for disabled drivers just days after being criticised for smoking in a petrol station
WILL Young's car stood parked in a disabled bay for over an hour while running errands in London.
The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant was seen parking his Mercedes 4x4 in the space reserved for motorists with blue badges.
Drivers who illegally park bays can be prosecuted or fined by the police.
It's not been a good week for the singer as far as driving is concerned, as the incident comes just days after he received criticism for lighting up a cigarette in a petrol station - which Shell say is "strictly prohibited".
Will was seen ignoring numerous warnings on the pumps about naked flames, as he started smoking in his car before he'd driven away.
The 37-year old also faced backlash this week for quitting Strictly Come Dancing on Tuesday, citing "personal reasons" for his exit from the show.
Other celebs condemned his departure, which allegedly followed a backstage tantrum when judge Len Goodman told him his Bollywood dance didn't have enough salsa in it.
X Factor judge Louis Walsh branded Will "a diva", adding "he should have stayed", while Piers Morgan questioned why the star kept entering TV reality and talent shows if he is as private as he claims.
