Alex Curran not only has the gorgeous looks to bring traffic to a standstill - she can also stop parking fines, seemingly with the glimmer of a smile.

The wife of Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard was able to avoid a £60 penalty charge after leaving her shiny black Aston Martin on double yellow lines.

Alex who has worked as a model and launched her own fashion sort, had arrived at The Neighbourhood Cafe in Woolton, Liverpool, at lunch time on Friday.

With so much going on at her husband's crisis-torn team, perhaps she failed to spot leaving her £130,000 car illegally parked.

But it was soon spotted by a nearby traffic warden, who pulled out his notebook and pen.

Curran had to abandon her lunch date with two female friends to sprint back to the vehicle just in time to avoid getting a ticket.

Dressed in gym gear of skin-tight figure-hugging black leggings and a cream hoodie, she flashed a brilliant smile at the male traffic warden, before asking: "Am I too late?"

Parking rules in Liverpool mean if wardens spot an illegally parked vehicle they must allow owners five minutes to get back to their vehicles before they are able to give out a ticket - and Curran arrived just in time. After parking the vehicle around a corner, Curran came back  to continue her lunch.

A regular at the trendy cafe in south Liverpool, Curran's car parking attracts tickets "like confetti", according to one source.

Liverpool City Council denied that blonde hair, beautiful looks and a fantastic smile was anything to do with avoiding a parking ticket.

Barrie's Note: If Alex got there before the normal observation time elapsed ( in most areas it's 0 minutes) then she correctly did not receive a parking ticket.
