Weirich has a partner who is seven months pregnant.

A source close to the partner, who we are not naming, told MailOnline: 'This is the last thing she needs in her condition, it's extremely upsetting.

'This stupid video has affected her health, she was hospitalised at the weekend through stress. She fears it will bring on premature labour.'

Six years ago, Weirich pleaded guilty to dangerous driving on the M6 at Stafford.

He also admitted assaulting a police officer with intent to resist arrest, driving without a licence and driving without insurance when he appeared at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court in March, 2018.
