\n The 46-year-old, who shot to fame by winning the inaugural series of ITV\u2019s Pop Idol in 2002, previously told national outlets like PA he moved to a Wiltshire village a few years ago.\n<\/p>\n
\n His current address is a property at The Green in Calne, which is estimated to be worth around \u00a31 million.\n<\/p>\n
\n Young was sentenced at Salisbury Law Courts on Tuesday, September 30, after pleading guilty to using a handheld mobile phone while driving a VW Golf earlier this year.\n<\/p>\n
\n The offence took place on Oxford Road in Calne on Friday, March 28.\n<\/p>\n
\n Young was fined \u00a3666 and he received six penalty points on his driving licence.\n<\/p>\n
\n He was also ordered to pay \u00a390 in costs and a \u00a3266 surcharge.\n<\/p>\n
\n The singer was not handed a driving ban after arguing it would cause exceptional hardship.\n<\/p>\n
\n The court found that a ban would have a \u201csignificant impact\u201d on Young\u2019s mental health and the charitable causes that he supports.\n<\/p>\n
\n Young recently embarked on a tour of dog rescue centres in the UK, to donate \u00a350,000 in dog food to the initiatives and raise awareness of their struggles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 46-year-old, who shot to fame by winning the inaugural series of ITV\u2019s Pop Idol in 2002, previously…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":186272,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-186271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
