Kayla Itsines' partner, Tobias Pearce convicted over “appalling and dangerous” driving offences.

Kayla Itsines’ partner and one half of the million dollar Bikini Body Guide fitness empire has been convicted and fined $1500 after admitting to driving in a reckless and dangerous manner.

Tobias ‘Tobi’ Pearce was charged in his home town of Adelaide in February, 2016 when police pulled the 25-year-old over for “veering” and “accelerating sharply” at 120 km/hr in his black Lamborghini Huracan – known to South Australians as ‘Pablo’ – through the 60 km/hr intersection of the Cross Road/South Road overpass.

The social media entrepreneur, who is estimated to be worth a joint $46 million with Itsines, has copped a 12 month license suspension and fines totalling $2,650, narrowly escaping a drug possession conviction for the blister pack containing four Cabolin prescription medication tablets found on his person at the time of arrest.

The pills, which the Advertiser reports fell out of Pearce’s pocket as he removed his keys when police moved to impound his car have been linked to body builders and steroid abuse, and are said to increase sex drives of steroid users.

Despite pleading guilty to charges of reckless and dangerous driving in front of the Adelaide Magistrates Court in April, the BBG CEO and body builder claimed the prescription drugs were left in his vehicle by an unidentified person.

This is not the first driving offence for Pearce, who’s ‘Pablo’ plated Lamborghini was spotted illegally parked across a disabled bay. It is not known if the businessman is in lawful possession of a disabled parking permit.

In a post titled ‘True Fact: I made mistakes, big ones…’, the 25-year-old took responsibility for his actions and how they impact others.

“Im in a good position to set an example for young people, I should’ve taken this responsibility serious (sic),” he wrote.

“I got what I deserved, I know I shouldn’t have done this & deeply regret this.”
