Kirsty Gallacher has reemerged on the London social circuit - weeks after she was banned from driving for two years, following a drink-driving conviction.

The 41-year-old Sky Sports presenter looked decidedly glamorous as she attended a private viewing and launch party for Sacha Jafri's Universal Consciousness at the English capital's prestigious Saatchi Gallery on Wednesday night.

The TV personality amped up the glamour further, highlighting her natural beauty with a dusting bold makeup, while her lustrous raven locks were swept back.

Holding a golden leather clutch bag, the star went minimal on the jewellery as she made her splashy return to the social circuit following her drink-driving scandal.

She mingled with a host of familiar faces at the exclusive event, including Hugo Taylor, Oliver Proudlock, Meredith Ostrom, Tallia Storm, and Sky News presenter Sarah-Jane Mee.

Kirsty's outing comes after it was revealed that she will not be sacked by Sky Sports after her drink driving shame and two-year ban from the roads.

The mother-of-two had consumed so much booze on a night out that she was three times the legal limit at 11am the next day when she went to meet her two sons in Berkshire.

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant had been drinking until 3am before she drove her £40,000 BMW X4 eight hours later and was pulled over for driving erratically.

She had been going through stressful divorce proceedings from ex-rugby player Paul Sampson, East Berkshire Magistrates’ Court in Slough heard.

There were fears the scandal could also cost her her job, but a source told The Sun: 'She's not going to lose her job at Sky Sports', where she has worked since 1998. 

Kirsty was banned from driving earlier this month after admitting one count of drink-driving.

A breathalyser test found she had 106 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath – more than three times the legal limit of 35 micrograms.

District Judge Davinder Lachhar told her: ‘It is a very high reading considering it’s 11 o’clock in the morning. Usually the following morning, readings are low.

'I have to take that into account as an aggravating feature as far as I’m concerned. In your case, the reading is a very high one.’

Kirsty – the daughter of former Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher – had met friends after work on August 11 at The Winning Post pub in Winkfield, Berkshire, where they stayed until 3am.

She posted a picture to her 183,000 followers on photo-sharing app Instagram of her and friends sipping champagne.

Kirsty left her BMW at the pub overnight and took a cab home, before taking another taxi back to her car the next morning and driving eight miles to Eton to meet her children, who had been staying with their father.

The Sky Sports News presenter, of Virginia Water in Surrey, had been due to take Jude, seven, and ten-year-old Oscar shopping for school uniforms.

But she was spotted driving erratically and, after a tip-off, police used CCTV to find her BMW parked on Eton High Street and arrested her next to it.

Officers said she smelled of alcohol and gave her a breathalyser test.

Jennifer Dempster, defending, told the court that the presenter ‘rarely drinks’.

She said: ‘This is extremely unusual for her. She is not someone who normally drinks to excess. She had no intention of drink-driving, what she did was exactly right until 11 o’clock in the morning.

'If she knew she was over the limit, she never would have driven and she is horrified she’s in this position. This is a young lady, it has been a stressful time.

‘There are difficulties arising from the breakdown of her marriage, the final hearing for which is next week.’

Kirsty was banned from driving for two years and ordered to do 100 hours’ community service, as well as pay £85 in costs.
