A children's doctor who said he watched TV to maintain his medical skills and lied about his income to avoid paying more than £40,000 in child maintenance has been blocked from returning to work.

Dr Collen Nkomo, of Altrincham, Trafford, was struck off in 2018 after concealing fraud and drink driving convictions.

At the time a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service found the father-of-three, who worked as a locum GP and did shifts as a children's doctor at Liverpool's Alder Hey hospital, repeatedly lied to the Child Support Agency about his income to avoid paying £40,800 in maintenance.
