The Bachelorette's Angie Kent says she's 'mortified' a after drink driving offence

The Bachelorette’s Angie Kent has expressed her remorse on national television after pleading guilty to mid range drink-driving offences. 

The 31-year-old, who is disqualified from driving for four months, apologised profusely for her actions on Thursday’s episode The Morning Show, telling hosts Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur, ‘I am completely mortified and embarrassed.’ 

Angie called her actions a ‘lapse in judgment’, and blamed the rehearsals she’d been attending as part of Dancing With The Stars for changing the way her body handled alcohol at the time.  

‘My lapse of judgement was totally off, thinking I could have two drinks on an empty stomach fresh after dancing for five weeks was not a good one,’ she admitted.

‘So hopefully I’m going to be inspired by my experiences, not defined by it. Never again,’ she said. 

Angie then pointed dramatically at herself and declared, ‘I’m the lesson’, before adding: ‘I’m only human and I will bounce back.’

Angie was pulled over on Sunday afternoon, October 3 in Pyrmont, after temporarily relocating to Sydney to film the Channel Seven dancing contest Dancing With The Stars: All Stars. 

She was driving a Kia Cerato at the time of her arrest, and was taken to a nearby  police station where she returned a breath test reading of 0.081. 

‘The driver of the Kia – a 31-year-old woman with a QLD driver’s licence – was breath tested at the scene and provided a positive reading,’ her police report states.
