EastEnders' Milly Zero hit with £630 car toll fines

Milly Zero has been hit with £630 worth of car toll fines after forgetting to register her new motor.

The \'EastEnders\' actress - who plays mechanic Dotty Cotton on the BBC One soap - took to Twitter to reveal it slipped her mind to register her new vehicle for the Dartford Crossing charge, and she was landed with nine fines as a result.

She wrote: "Only me would manage to get a new car and forget to register it on the Dartford crossing toll register for two weeks and get 9 fines (sic)"

Motorists travelling on the cable-stayed bridge, a major road crossing the River Thames in south east England, are required to pay the charge by midnight the day after their cross otherwise they face a fine.

Most cars are charged at £2.50 for a one-off payment, or £2 for those with an account, but if you forget or do not pay then drivers can be hit with a £70 fine, meaning Milly could\'ve had to fork out £630.

Milly has hopefully paid within 14 days as fines can be reduced to £35 if so.

However, for those not so quick off the mark, fines can be increased to £105 if they have not been paid - and the crossing charge still has to be stumped up for.

Milly recently admitted she would like to be involved in an \'EastEnders\' love triangle, and said it would be "interesting" to see her character go up against Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold).

She explained: "Lola taking on Dotty - that would be very interesting!

"Lola would get right in there and pull your hair, but Dotty would come up with the best insults that would make you cry and run off home!"
