ONLINE reality TV star Chelsey Harwood has been found guilty of offering teeth whitening services while not being qualified to do so.

Harwood, who starred in This is Liverpool, was due to appear before the magistrates court today.

The 30-year-old, originally from Dingle, but now of Cleveland Street, Peasley Cross, had been jailed last year after refusing to use public transport to carry out community service following an earlier conviction for three benefit fraud offences involving a total of £25,156 in April 2017.

Harwood is accused of being an "unregistered person carrying out the business of dentistry" at Premier Suites at Hatton Garden, Liverpool and of unlawfully holding herself out as being prepared to practise tooth whitening at Premier Suites.

Charges relate to January and February.

Harwood was found guilty in her absence and is due to be sentenced on Thursday, May 3.

The maximum penalty for the offences is an unlimited fine.
