 An angry wife drove her car at her teacher husband after discovering his affair with an 18-year-old former pupil.

Barnado's charity worker Maria Addis, 34, knocked down husband Mark, 37, after learning about his fling with the teenager.

A court heard mother-of-two Addis shouted: "She's only 18 years old" - before driving at the PE teacher with her Chevrolet car.

Rugby player Mr Addis, her husband of 15 years, was confronted by his wife over his love affair with teenager Lucy Gill.

Barnardo's worker Addis was due to stand trial for dangerous driving - but changed her plea to avoid "airing her dirty laundry in public".

Jeremy Jenkins, defending, said: "Things got out of hand against a background where Addis was seeking to get the truth from her husband about an extra marital affair with a former pupil.

"It was a misjudgement to move the car forward in the direction of her former husband. But it was brought about by the circumstances that prevailed at the time.

"She was candid in interview and accepted that the situation got the better of her. "

Addis and her husband were seen arguing in the road in Glyncoch near Pontypridd, South Wales, where she was heard shouting about the girl's age.

The court heard how her husband was demanding his phone back because he didn't want her to see "certain messages" on it.Mother-of-two Addis pushed him into a bush before locking herself in the family car. 

Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard her husband stood in front of the vehicle with his arms outstretched - before then banging on the car. But she was seen by a witness edging forward at 2mph "nudging" her husband who fell to the ground clutching his leg. Prosecutor Hywel Hughes said: "She was nudging him with the car causing him to move backwards and fall to the ground. 

"The man was holding his left leg and groaning."

Addis, of Church Village, near Pontypridd, had denied dangerous driving and common assault. But she admitted careless driving in May rather than face the "tawdry affair" going to trial.

The judge ordered the assault charge to lie on the girl - and the court was told that she was glad the case had "finally come to an end".

Addis was fined 500 and had seven penalty points imposed on her licence.

Judge Richard Twomlow told her: "This incident was a stupid incident and did not bring much credit on any participant in it."Mr Addis, a PE teacher at Aberdare Community School, and Miss Gill both declined to comment after the case. He is listed on Facebook as being in a relationship with financial planner Miss Gill.
