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 began as a stand up comedian to widespread success and received great plaudits in 1997 which saw him awarded the title of 'Best New Comedy Act' at the Glastonbury festival as well as being a finalist in both the BBC New Comedy Awards and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
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.
His radio career began in 2003 when he was awarded a Sunday afternoon show on London station XFM. He stayed with the station until 2005 when he left to pursue his TV career. He was chosen to present the E4 programme 'The Games: Live at Trackside', the companion show to the channel 4 series 'The Games. The show continued until 2006 when Justin hit it big with a new show called 'Bring Back'.
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.
Justin followed 'Bring Back' with a programme called 'The Convention Crasher' which saw him once again globetrotting, this time in search of unusual conventions, which he would attend and then attempt to become expert in the field in a matter of days before competing with seasoned 'professionals', to varying degrees of success.
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.
Aside from his TV and Radio work, Justin is also patron of the Bristol Kids charity for which he has helped to raise a substantial amount of money. The trial has shocked many of the people in his hometown, the majority of who do not believe the charges to be true. His ex-wife has recently spoken in his defence, of his incredible warmth and kindness.
