Police investigating sex attack claims yesterday swooped on the home of TV host John Leslie.
The 50-year-old former Blue Peter star was quizzed after a 22-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted hours after he handed out a gong at a radio station’s awards ceremony on Thursday.
Leslie – who was once accused but not convicted of a series of sex attacks dating back to 2002 – is understood to have been suspended from his job as a day time DJ for Radio Forth while police continue their investigation.
The Radio Forth Awards show, held at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on Thursday afternoon, saw him mingle with guests including The Voice winner Stevie McCrorie, chart toppers Travis and comedian Stephen K Amos.
