Charged: Professor Green arrives at Lewisham Police Station in London to answer bail last night . Rapper Professor Green has been charged with drink driving over a crash outside his £1.5million home last year. The Hackney-born hip hop artist, who is married to Quality Street heiress and Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh, was charged last night under his real name, Stephen Manderson, after answering bail at a south London police station. He had called police to his London home in November, claiming he had been mugged for his Rolex watch. But when officers arrived in the early hours, they found that his £100,000 Mercedes had been involved in a crash with a van on the road outside. No one was injured in the incident but police arrested the musician at the scene. The 30-year-old was initially held on suspicion of drink-driving and spent a night in the cells. Days later the rapper - who had a No1 hit in 2011 with Read All About It, which featured vocalist Emeli Sandé - was re-arrested on suspicion of attempting to pervert the course of justice in relation to the reported robbery.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: ‘Stephen Manderson has been charged with drink-driving following an incident on November 3 2013. ‘He will appear at Bromley Magistrates Court on March 20.’ Green was reported to have been clubbing prior to reporting the robbery to police at 2.40am on November 3.
