Liz Hurley's model nephew, who survived a horror road rage knife attack, was caught drink driving by police who spotted him tailgating cars in his £41,000 BMW, a court heard.
Miles Hurley, 27, was speeding up and slowing down in a 20mph zone in south London after enjoying drinks with football team.
The six-foot tall son of Liz's older sister Kate Curren has previously strutted at the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk and was more recently pictured alongside his cousin Damian Hurley at the luxury Italian brand's DG Logo Bag cocktail party launch.
Hurley, of Hampton House, Ascalon Street, Nine Elms appeared at Croydon Magistrates' Court on Friday under his mother's married name of Curran.
He pleaded guilty to driving his grey BMW Gran Coupe SE with excess alcohol in his breath in Lambeth on April 14. Hurley had 45 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - the legal limit is 35.

Prosecutor Sophie Thompson told the court: 'It was around midnight when officers' attention was too drawn to a vehicle because the car was speeding up and slowing down and was very close to other vehicles.
'The driver was pulled over and alcohol was smelled on the breath of this defendant and he failed a roadside breath test for alcohol and was arrested and taken into custody.
'An aggravating factor is that there was an unacceptable standard of driving in that he was speeding and tailgating other vehicles. The officers said he was driving at an excess speed.'
Hurley's lawyer Mark Haslam, however, took issue with the prosecution arguing his client had been travelling at an excessive speed.
'This took place just after midnight when there was not much traffic around in a 20mph zone so because of the nature of the road it is not possible for the defendant to have been travelling at a vastly excessive speed,' Mr Haslam said.
'The officer simply says 'at some speed' without offering an estimate. It is not quite the picture that has been painted.
'The defendant accepts he should not have been driving, but when asked to stop he did so immediately and was fully co-operative with the police from the beginning.'
Hurley's lawyer said he was 'of good character' and had been playing a football match before heading for 'some drinks' and a meal.
Hurley was fined £750, with £85 costs, ordered to pay a £300 victim surcharge and disqualified for twelve months
