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.
The much loved comic and TV personality is the star of a number of successful TV shows such as 'The Friday Night Project' 'The Convention Crasher' and 'Bring Back' but is currently performing as Dennis Dupree in the London West End production of 'Rock of Ages'.
Justin made his name as a stand up comic, for which he won a number of awards including the 'Best New Comedy Act' at the 1997 Glastonbury festival. That year also saw him reach the finals of the BBC New Comedy Awards and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He continued with stand up comedy until 2002 when he decided to quit and focus entirely on TV and radio presenting.
In 2005 Justin was selected to present the E4 companion show to the series 'The Games' called 'The Games: Live at Trackside'. Both the show and Justin proved to be a success, with the show continuing for two seasons until 'The Games' was stopped.
Following his success on 'The Games' Justin got his own show on channel 4 entitled 'Bring Back'. 'Bring Back' followed Justin as he travelled across the UK and the USA attempting to re-unite cast members from popular TV series from past decades. The show was an instant hit, with audiences drawn to the rough and ready nature of the presenter and the programme.
Following on from the success of 'Bring Back', Justin went on to create 'The Convention Crasher' where he would travel around the world attending unusual conventions. Once at the convention he would attempt to become an expert in the specialist field in just a couple of days.
After 'The Convention Crasher' Justin was chosen to present 'The Friday Night Project' alongside fellow funny man Alan Carr. The show featured a guest celebrity each week who would present the show alongside Justin and Alan, taking part in a number of silly games, challenges and quizzes. The show was hugely successful and aired for several seasons.
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'.
