Westlife star Bryan McFadden appeared in a court today charged with speeding and careless driving.

He faces three charges of speeding, careless driving and driving without due care and attention on the M1 in Co Dublin on September 23, 2002.

After an application by the prosecution to delay the hearing for two months, the court was told McFadden was leaving tomorrow for a six month tour.

The hearing was adjourned until October 28.
