‘Star hoarded child sex pics’

A FORMER star of The Big Breakfast downloaded 1,400 child abuse images, a court heard yesterday.

Paul Sadler, a regular on the Channel 4 show during the 1990s, allegedly googled “pre-teen models” and kept sick images of children on an old laptop.

After the PC was seized, Sadler, 53, claimed a friend gave it to him and he knew nothing of the photos.

Sadler, of New Barnet, North London, denies four charges. The trial at the Old Bailey trial continues.
