Judge issues jail warning to TV weatherman's ex-wife who shows drastic weight ... trends now
The ex-wife of TV weatherman Steve Jacobs has been issued a stern warning about what she must be prepared to do if she wanted to avoid going to prison for driving her white Audi Q3 three times with a disqualified licence.
Rosie Jacobs turned up for as sentencing hearing at the Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday heavily made up and wearing an electric green silk linen suit with towering beige stiletto sandals.
The 43-year-old who recently celebrated one year of sobriety appeared before Magistrate Greg Grogan who told she 'needs to be flexible to complete community service as an alternative to a full-time custodial sentence'.
Jacobs' twelve months off booze, after a well-documented battle with alcohol, comes four years after her divorce from Steve Jacobs, the father of her two children. They separated in 2017.
Two of the three driving offences behind the wheel of her white SUV were within four days of one another.
In court on Thursday, Ms Jacobs' lawyer Sheeza Naz eventually asked Mr Grogan for a week's adjournment for sentence so that her client could complete 'final modules' of a traffic offender program, after telling His Honour that Jacobs could undertake community service.

After Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed Jacob's latest series of driving offences on Tuesday, the travel journalist blamed recent breast reconstruction surgery and post-traumatic stress disorder for her ‘stupid decisions’.
'Start of a new year, start of a few new resolutions. And again, my health has to take priority,' she wrote on Instagram, alongside a picture of herself cuddling her dachshund George.
'I’m proud to say I quit alcohol in 2021 and am still loving every day, even the tough ones - because life can still throw some curve balls!
'What most of you won’t know is that mid last year I had multiple surgeries on my left breast - eventually having it removed and reconstructed.
'It was traumatic - physically and emotionally - and there were long periods of time not knowing what the outcome would be.'
Rosie said the surgery and breakdown of her marriage had left her with 'high anxiety' and she had been diagnosed with PTSD.

Jacobs, 43, has shown considerable weight loss since quitting booze after a well-documented battle with alcohol but has suffered a setback after driving three times in four months on a disqualified licence
She said she had 'made some stupid decisions to drive my car to the hospital post-surgery while on a suspended licence. I regret that decision. I was in a lot of pain.'
Unable to 'undo those moments', Rosie wished to start over and expressed 'gratitude for the world that I live in, for the amazing team of specialists who have my back and for the proactive work I choose to do with my own mental health and happiness.'
Court documents reveal Jacobs said 'no comment' when asked by officers why she was driving while disqualified on two occasions.
One the third occasion she told police she was unwell and 'going through a lot at the moment' when she pulled over in Sydney driving her white SUV on a suspended licence.
