TV star Ruffo admits to driving charges

Home and Away star Johnny Ruffo has admitted to a string of driving offences, including driving while his licence was cancelled.

Ruffo, 27, was caught driving an unregistered and uninsured white Audi S5 through Sydney's CBD in September last year.

The soap star's lawyer, Nic Angelov, pleaded guilty to five separate charges on his client's behalf in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday morning.

Traffic police spotted the actor driving the Audi along George Street in Sydney around 10am on September 18.

The uninsured vehicle's registration had expired the previous year, while Ruffo's licence was cancelled in January.

Court documents reveal Ruffo had earlier clocked up 13 speeding tickets before his licence was suspended for driving between 30 and 45 km/h over the limit.

Ruffo is due to be sentenced on February 11.
