ITV’s Strictly Kosher star Joel Lever has been fined nearly £6,000 for fire safety breaches at his Manchester shop.

Mr Lever became famous for his over-the-top antics selling ball gowns to Jewish mothers on the documentary which was screened last year.

But last Thursday he pleaded guilty to eight charges relating to poor fire-safety provisions at his Mon Ami Boutique in Prestwich.

The breaches included blocked fire escapes, a faulty fire alarm and not appointing a person responsible for fire safety, all prior to the ITV programme filmed extensively at Mon Ami.
