A DRIVER who killed a pregnant Hollyoaks actress in a 123mph horror crash will spend longer behind bars after his sentence was increased.
Adil Iqbal, 22, smashed into mum-of-two Frankie Jules-Hough, 38, while filming himself driving his dad’s BMW 140i at 123mph on the M66.
He was sentenced in July to 12 years in prison after he admitted two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and one count of causing death by dangerous driving.
His sentence has now been increased by three years after top judges ruled his original jail term was unduly lenient.
The mum-of-two’s family had described Iqbal’s original prison term as “insulting”.
The horror unfolded on May 13 when Frankie had stopped on the hard shoulder with three kids in her car following a puncture.
Iqbal had undertaken a motorbike when he swerved and hit the central reservation in Bury, Greater Manchester.
The impact sent the BMW into a 92mph spin before colliding with Frankie’s Skoda Fabia.

Tragically, the mum was on the phone to her son’s dad saying she would be late when he heard a “blood curdling scream”.
Frankie, who was 17 weeks pregnant with a baby girl, later died in hospital from brain injuries along with her unborn child.
Her son, nine, and nephew, four, were left with serious brain injuries in the crash, while her two-year-old son was also treated in hospital.
The long-term outcomes of the older boy’s injuries are still unknown.
Tributes flooded in for Frankie, who played Jess in Hollyoaks in 2000, following the tragedy.
In a heartbreaking statement, her partner Calvin Buckley said: “My past, present and future has been crushed and taken from me.
“And for what? An adrenaline rush, an ego boost, a false sense of worth, and selfish gratification with no regards for the safety of others.
“An unnecessarily dangerous risk taking mentality that needs to change. For what? Was it worth it? The answer is no, it is not.”
