Hart said his partner, Rebecca Grant, was the one to drive away from the scene.
When he was told an independent witness had seen him drive at a crowd of people and hit a female three times, Hart said: “No, no, no – I promise you, like I said I’m not like that, I’m not that kind of person.
“I would not hit someone and then drive off intentionally and leave them, I would make sure they were alright.”
Later in the interview Hart, who was banned from driving at the time of the incident, said: “I wasn’t driving the car. It’s in her name, it’s insured in her name.
