[quote=BBC News][B]TV presenter Justin Lee Collins pushed his girlfriend in front of traffic after a drinking session with his co-star Alan Carr, a court has heard.

Anna Larke, 38, told jurors at St Albans Crown Court it was part of the abuse she suffered during her nine-month relationship with Mr Collins.[/B]

Ms Larke, of Pirton, Hertfordshire, said Mr Collins was drunk at the time of the alleged incident.

The comedian denies a charge of harassment, causing fear of violence.

Giving evidence from behind a curtain, Ms Larke spoke of her night out with Mr Collins and Mr Carr.

"Justin shoved me in the back and pushed me into the traffic," she said.

"He was drunk. I was lucky a man stepped in to save me."

'Drive me insane'

Asked by Sonia Woodley QC, for Mr Collins, if Mr Carr could confirm her story, she replied: "Alan was drunk as well."

The jury of nine women and three men has heard that [B]Mr Collins, also 38, who has been appearing in the West End hit Rock of Ages, used a Pukka pad notebook to list every sexual experience Ms Larke had with every one of her previous lovers.[/B]

[B]He is alleged to have "controlled" Ms Larke by forcing her to close her Facebook, Twitter and email accounts, once he had read all the messages.[/B]

The Bristol-born comic, from High Park Road, Kew, pleads not guilty to harassment by causing Ms Larke fear of violence between 1 January and 1 August last year.

[B]It is alleged he assaulted her and threatened her with violence.[/B]

Under cross examination, Ms Larke denied being "emotional, obsessive, paranoid and volatile."

She said: "He used to drive me insane."

[B]Miss Woodley put to Ms Larke that it was her idea to compile the Pukka pad notebook about her past because she wanted to "unburden herself".

Ms Larke replied: "The Pukka Pad was a stick he used to beat me in the relationship."

Prosecutor Peter Shaw said the relationship was "characterised by this defendant exerting control over her, verbally abusing her and physically assaulting her".[/B]

The trial continues.[/quote]

Well, shit.
I was always under the impression that he was a pretty nice guy.

[JesterUK]

I always get this guy and Stephen Merchant mixed up because their voices are so similar

[Noss]

noooooo

:(

[Sgt-NiallR]

But I like him.

[Cathedral]

Never heard of this guy.
Sounds like a horrible piece of shit though.

Certainly looks like a shiteater.

[Cyteless]

Wow, I always thought he was one of the good guys. What a cock.

[Lhuth]

Another newspaper claimed that if she fell asleep facing away from him, he'd wake her up, make her face him and then let her go back to sleep again. Paranoid.

[FlashFireSix]

Why do they need to keep saying it was a pukka pad notebook

it's just a damn notebook

obviously this story is just viral marketing for pukka pad

[Trainbike]

I always thought he was an irritating prick anyway. Hate justified?

[RoloPogo]

If he was such a dick then why did she stay with him? 9 months until she was fed up enough to leave him and file suit?

It's not uncommon at all for the abused to stay in relationships with their abusers for years, much less months.

I was waiting for this, expected it to be the first reply

[Shozamar]

I think we should reserve judgement until a verdict is achieved. People in relationships with celebrities often lie or blow things out of proportion so they can sell their story to papers. Although, if she's taken it to court then she must mean business.

[Vasili]

he always seemed very chill on TV.

[Spoons]

Well seeing as there's no actual evidence as of yet, and it's completely out of character for Justin Lee Collins, it could just be a bad case of insane girlfriend.

You can't really claim this to be out of character for him unless you personally know him.

I mean the guy's a TV presenter, being pleasant on television is pretty much his job.

[MegaJohnny]

Okay, the shove was pretty shitty, but he was drunk I guess.

Making her close all her social networking accounts is unforgivable though. No amount of your own insecurity or jealousy justifies turning a human being into something you keep in a box for your own satisfaction.

[Amez]

Guy looks like he deserves a punch in the face.

[Scotty.]

I don't know what's worse for him, the fact that he's an absolute cunt, or that fact that he knows if Alan Carr had done the same thing, it'd be front page news, yet this has hardly any coverage.

[DarthStardust]

I'm all for exposing this guy as a massive prick and everything but her story not only has no proof but she has counter arguments for all the lack of it

"Did Alan Carr see this"
"Uh no he was drunk and he made me write naughty sexy secrets in his note book"
"It was your idea wasn't it?"
"Yeah but HE USED IT AGAINST ME"

I dunno. I'd rather wait to see how this pans out before jumping on wild accusations. He seems like a genuine and nice enough guy when I hear him being interviewed on the radio and shit. Even though he looks like a dick.

[Zethiwag]

If this is true then he obviously has an inferiority complex to do with black men/hot actors.

Dear Facepunch,

These are not acceptable generic replies to every fucking piece of news on every fucking court case:

Thread 1: "Man, this guy clearly didn't do it, I think the evidence is a crock of shit"

Thread 2: "Psh, pleads innocent? Means nothing, man is an asshole and needs to be locked up. Always knew it"

You're all schizophrenic and need to stop behaving like 13 year old retards. (Even if you are a 13 year old retard)

Sincerely,

Stop it.

Dear MrEndangered,

At the time of writing, I do not actually see these replies in this thread. Instead I see these:

Reply Type 1: "Oh shit, I thought he was a cool guy, what the hell"

Reply Type 2: "Well, there doesn't seem to be actual evidence, maybe the girlfriend's just wacko. Let's wait and see what happens."

You're jumping the gun and need to stop trying to speed read threads. (Even if you think you're reading carefully)

Sincerely,

Calm down.

Dear MrEndangered,

you're wrong,

stop it.

Fun fact: Everybody is entitled to an opinion. Apart from you.

He has a silly accent and awesome hair. Pretty much why.

You've got to have somebody other than Charlie Brooker on TV (Unfortunately)
