Ex Bristol boy Justin Lee Collins has been accused of harassing Anna Larkin - his 38 year old former girlfriend - between the months of January and August last year, an accusation for which he is currently standing trial in St Albans.
Justin Lee Collins (known as JLC) started making a name for himself as a stand up comic in 1997, when he was awarded the title of 'Best New Comedy Act' at the '97 Glastonbury music festival. He also reached the finals of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the BBC New Comedy Awards that same year, and continued with stand up until 2002 when he quit to focus on Radio & TV presenting.
Justin's radio career started in 2003 with a Sunday afternoon show on XFM. He left the station in 2005 to pursue his television career, and went on to become the star of a host of successful shows, including 'Bring Back', 'The Convention Crasher' and 'The Friday Night Project'.
JLC's TV presenting career began in 2005 with the E4 show 'The Games: Live at Trackside', made to accompany the channel 4 series 'The Games'. The show was a success and continued for two seasons until Justin found more mainstream success with the show 'Bring Back'.
'Bring back' was a channel 4 programme where Justin would travel across the world in an attempt to reunite the cast of popular TV series from the 1970's and 1980's. The shows' unpolished feel, coupled with Justin's laid back yet hilarious presenting style, made it an instant hit with audiences both young and old alike.
After 'Bring Back' came 'The Convention Crasher' in which Justin attended all manner of cult conventions across the United States and once there attempted to become expert in the field and perform at the convention to try and pass as a true fan, with mixed successes.
Then came Justin's biggest success, when he was asked to present 'The Friday Night Project' alongside comedian Alan Carr. Each week a different celebrity guest would co-host the show with Justin and Alan, competing in a range of games and challenges throughout the course of the evening.
Alongside his TV work Justin has helped raise thousands of pounds for Charities and is patron of the 'Bristol Kids' charity. Many people do not believe Justin guilty of the charges against him, and his ex-wife has already taken the stand in his defence, citing him to be a man of 'incredible kindness and warmth'.
