The much loved Bristol comedian Justin Lee Collins is currently standing trial in St Albans, accused of harassment towards a former girlfriend called Anna Larkin, which is said to have continued for 8 months between January and August of 2011.
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 continued with stand up until 2002 when he left to pursue radio and tv presenting. His big break came the following year when he was chosen to present a show on London radio station XFM. He stayed with the station for two successful years before leaving to focus on TV presenting.
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'.
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.
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.
Justin is also a keen charity worker and has been patron of, and helped raise a large amount of money for, the 'Bristol Kids' charity. The trial has met with fierce opposition amongst many members of his hometown and beyond, who do not believe the charges to be true, including his ex-wife who spoke at the trial of his incredible kindness and warmth.
