Leslie denies new sex allegations

FORMER Blue Peter star John Leslie insisted yesterday he has ‘not done anything wrong’ after he was accused of putting his hand up a girl’s tutu skirt in a nightclub.

The 52-year-old presenter, whose career has been dogged by unproven sex attack claims, has been charged with sexually assaulting a 26-year-old woman during a night out in his home town of Edinburgh.

But the former host of ITV’s This Morning protested his innocence yesterday as his lawyer said CCTV footage of the encounter would clear his name.

Police Scotland arrested Leslie, pictured, after questioning him and a woman at Atik nightclub, where it is claimed that he touched her inappropriately while they were dancing.

The allegations have already scuppered his TV comeback, forcing him to pull out of a £600,000 deal to appear on Celebrity Big Brother this summer.
