Judy Murray overcame fear to race round Silverstone in Aston Martin for new TV show

Strictly star and tennis coach Judy Murray overcame her fears to race round Silverstone in Aston Martin for her new TV show.

Judy who is mum to tennis champs Andy and Jamie Murray admitted she was naturally averse to going round the famed Silverstone race track in Northamptonshire for her show Driving Force on Sky.

Judy arrived at the home of British racing to be driven by world record holder and Aston Martin Formula 1 driver Jessica Hawkins.

She and Jessica decided to race around the track against fellow woman in sport and British racing driver Jamie Chadwick.

"Wasn’t a bit scared #shelied. What an amazing experience."
