Former Apprentice star has sentence deferred for contempt of court

Former Apprentice star Sharon McAllister has had her sentence for contempt of court deferred again.

McAllister, who appeared in series two of the reality show, appeared at Perth Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

At a previous hearing she was found guilty of contempt of court for failing to maintain contact arrangements between her son and his father.

The case has called in the courts more than 30 times in the past four years and cost tens of thousands of pounds in Legal Aid.

Sheriff Fiona Tait further deferred sentence to ensure visits arranged during the Easter period take place.

McAllister, who lives in Clackmannanshire, had previously been given a six-month period to obey the contact orders.

She will next appear in court in May.
