The hearing in Wigan came just eight days after Ratcliffe was given a community order and restraining order by Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court for offences of damage and assault.

He was banned from driving for 18 months and ordered to pay fines of £400 for each offence, and £85 prosecution costs and £40 victim surcharge.
