Scottish TV presenter who found himself the target of a media witch-hunt when TV weathergirl Ulrika Jonsson published an anonymous story in her autobiography telling of her rape by a TV presenter some years before. It wasnt long before Leslie, best known for the childrens show Blue Peter (from April 1989), dating Catherine Zeta-Jones, and hosting the daily "This Morning" chat show, was ousted as the alleged rapist in October 2002. When a number of women came forward to make complaints of assault, his TV bosses sacked him on October 30th. An initial arrest followed on the 5th of December but the police have yet to take further legal action as of early 2003. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
