Victoria McInerney admitted perverting the course of justice and leaving the scene of a crash but avoided jail and a driving ban
A former Blackpool cabaret club star who crashed her Mercedes at 4am, fled the scene and reported it stolen has avoided a jail sentence and driving ban.
But that was far from the "award-winning dancer" and aspiring model and singer's only involvement in the industry. Known as Vicky, also beat off 2,000 other entrants from across the country to join Cloud Nine - a six-piece boy and girl act which was house band at the Star in Blackpool. McInerney, of Manor Drive in Netherton, admitted perverting the course of justice and failing to stop after an accident in connection with the incident on Poulton Road, Wirral, in the early hours of January 21 this year. After the collision, she told a taxi driver at the scene: "My boyfriend is going to kill me - look what I've done to the car."
But subsequent enquiries revealed CCTV footage of the accident, which was played to the court and showed McInerney exiting the driver's side door. Police returned to the address at lunchtime the same day, at which point she confessed that she had invented the story.
