The unmistakeable Bristol-born comedian Justin Lee Collins is currently on trial in St Albans, accused of harassing his 38 year old former girlfriend Anna Larkin between January and August last year.
The much loved comic and TV personality is the star of a number of successful TV shows such as 'The Friday Night Project' 'The Convention Crasher' and 'Bring Back' but is currently performing as Dennis Dupree in the London West End production of 'Rock of Ages'.
Justin made his name as a stand up comic, for which he won a number of awards including the 'Best New Comedy Act' at the 1997 Glastonbury festival. That year also saw him reach the finals of the BBC New Comedy Awards and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He continued with stand up comedy until 2002 when he decided to quit and focus entirely on TV and radio presenting.
His radio career began in 2003 when he was awarded a Sunday afternoon show on London station XFM. He stayed with the station until 2005 when he left to pursue his TV career. He was chosen to present the E4 programme 'The Games: Live at Trackside', the companion show to the channel 4 series 'The Games. The show continued until 2006 when Justin hit it big with a new show called 'Bring Back'.
'Bring back' was a channel 4 programme where Justin would travel across the world in an attempt to reunite the cast of popular TV series from the 1970's and 1980's. The shows' unpolished feel, coupled with Justin's laid back yet hilarious presenting style, made it an instant hit with audiences both young and old alike.
Following on from the success of 'Bring Back', Justin went on to create 'The Convention Crasher' where he would travel around the world attending unusual conventions. Once at the convention he would attempt to become an expert in the specialist field in just a couple of days.
After 'The Convention Crasher' Justin was chosen to present 'The Friday Night Project' alongside fellow funny man Alan Carr. The show featured a guest celebrity each week who would present the show alongside Justin and Alan, taking part in a number of silly games, challenges and quizzes. The show was hugely successful and aired for several seasons.
Aside from his TV and Radio work, Justin is also patron of the Bristol Kids charity for which he has helped to raise a substantial amount of money. The trial has shocked many of the people in his hometown, the majority of who do not believe the charges to be true. His ex-wife has recently spoken in his defence, of his incredible warmth and kindness.
