Emmerdale star livid as she’s warned and fined by police for kerb crawling
A FORMER star of Emmerdale has revealed her horror and shock at being accused of kerb crawling by the police.
Kelli Hollis played Ali Spencer in the ITV soap opera between 2011 and 2015 and was featured in many notable storylines.
Her character was killed off-screen in 2018 and with it killing any chance Kelli had to return to the popular show.
Since her TV stint, Kelli moved to Thailand and has now revealed her horror after the car she used to own when she lived in the UK has been caught up in a kerb crawling scandal.
The 46 year old actress has claimed it is a case of mistaken identity after the Police issued her with a letter warning her to stop such activity after the vehicle was spotted in Newham, Greater London.
The letter also suggested Kelli would be fined or arrested if the vehicle was caught in such activity again.

Kelli has revealed in a new TikTok video that she sold the car to a friend upon her move to South East Asia but that the new owner failed to register any new documentation for the car.
Explaining how there had been other such incidents, Kelli detailed the bizarre occurrence in a video.
The former Emmerdale star said: “Just before I left for Thailand I let my friend use my car because they wanted to go somewhere, they had no brakes or M.O.T, so it was pretty dangerous for them to drive their car.
“Begrudgingly I lent them my car and when I decided to go to Thailand for definite, I just said ‘why don’t you buy the car off me?”

Revealing that she informed her friend of the process they needed to do in order to make them the registered owner of the car as opposed to her, mother-of-two Kelli said: “So when I was in Thailand they transferred me the money and reassured me, as I had no access to the log book.
“I explained what they had to do, take £25 off the car money and apply for a log book – easy peasy.
“But they didn’t do that, and for the past couple of months I’ve been getting ticket after ticket, about five in all so far, but this is the icing on the cake.”
Kelli then showed her TikTok followers the letter she had recieved from the Police over the incident.
The letter had identified her car as the one in question.
The actress, who also starred as Yvonne Karib in Shameless, added: “So apparently on June 30 2022, in the London Borough of Newham, my car’s been seen kerb crawling and I’ve had a letter warning me about it – what the actual f***?”
Prior to moving abroad, Kelli was working in a cafe after her acting career stalled and work began to dry up.
She revealed her part time job on Twitter as she shared a picture of herself in a her work apron as she took a breather.
A fan who spotted her there told The Sun Online: “I couldn’t believe it when I saw her serving coffee – but she was really nice and took pics with whoever asked.”

The actress took on the shifts to help out a pal.
A representative for Kelli said at the time: “Kelli is just helping out a friend in-between projects and has lots of wonderful acting gigs about to commence shortly.”
It remains to be seen if the acting jobs came to fruition as a result of Kelli heading to the other side of the world.
The actress has also appeared in Doctors and most recently played a small role in Ackley Bridge.
