Mr Burdett died after the black and grey Moto Guzzi motorbike he was riding was involved in a collision with a black Land Rover Freelander on the A61 Sheffield Road, close to the junction with Knowle Road, Worsbrough in Barnsley.

Judge Rachael Harrison adjourned the hearing until December 7 to allow for a pre-sentence report to be prepared. 

She told Fitzpatrick: 'All options are open, and you should prepare yourself for custody.'
