Kayleigh McGuinness hurled racist abuse at a man after an earlier altercation involving her partner at the People's Kitchen.

On Tuesday, McGuinness, of St Ann's Close, Newcastle, appeared at Newcastle Magistrates' Court to be sentenced for racially aggravated harassment. She had been found guilty following a trial.

The court heard that on March 18, last year, McGuinness' partner was involved in a verbal altercation with the victim at the People's Kitchen.
