Ex-buzzcocks star in Crown apology

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has apologised to TV presenter Mark Lamarr after charges of common assault and false imprisonment of a woman were dropped.

The case against the comedian was discontinued last year, the day before his first court appearance.

The CPS has since apologised to the former Never Mind The Buzzcocks star. A letter says: “The outcome of the review process demonstrates that the prosecutor who authorised the charges against you did so in error.”
