Adam Ant in court for hearing

Adam Ant arrived at court on Wednesday morning

1980s pop singer Adam Ant has arrived at the Old Bailey for a hearing over charges he broke a pub window and threatened a man with a gun.

He appeared in court under his real name, Stuart Goddard.

Goddard, 47, of Primrose Hill, north London, has pleaded not guilty at an earlier hearing to three offences alleged to have taken place on 12 January.

He denies breaking a window of the Prince of Wales pub in Kentish Town, north London, causing actual bodily harm to Plato Contostavlos, and threatening Jeffrey Eccles with an imitation revolver.

Costumes

At a previous hearing, Goddard arrived at court wearing a beard.

On Wednesday he was clean-shaven but his glasses were obscured by clip-on shades, although it was drizzling with rain.

He also wore a grey, tweed overcoat.

Goddard found fame in the early 1980s, singing such hits as Goody Two Shoes, Prince Charming and Stand and Deliver, before later becoming an actor.

The former punk was also known for his outrageous costumes, dressing as pirates and highwaymen and wearing a white stripe across his face.

A provisional trial date was fixed for August 12, although a further hearing will take place next Wednesday. Bail was continued.
