PICS: Bec Hewitt's day is ruined in dramatic style
The former Home and Away actress makes a very expensive mistake
FormerHome and Awaystar turned tennis brideBec Hewitthas had her day ruined in a very unpleasant way: receiving a parking ticket for up to $400. It's a rare downer for the star, whose son Cruz has recently been showing amazing signs he might take after his spotlight-grabbing parents - see video below.
TheAustralianceleb, who is married totennis starLleyton Hewitt, was attending a vet appointment with the family dog Bux, when she stopped her can in a truck zone.
With Bec off attended to her four-legged friend, a parking warden swooped. Noticing the ticket, a panicked Bec rushed over to find she was far too late to do anything about it – her face sinking at the reality of the heavy fine.
Climbing back into her Mercedes-Benz, Bec drove off – hopefully comforted by the cushioning fact that her husband is a multi millionaire Australian Open and Wimbledon legend. And she might have a few lingering royalties from All Seats Taken!

‘There was a scene where Bec was required to slow dance with her on-screen husband and he said no to that,’ says the source.
‘The producers wanted Bec because she is talented and hasn’t worked in recent times.
‘She’s a great actor and her return would have been celebrated. She was all for it, too, excited but still nervous, and said she would love to get back into acting.’
