Leslie to tell of 'year of hell'

Leslie and his girlfriend Abi Titmuss feature in the documentary

Presenter John Leslie is to return to TV in a documentary about his "year of hell".

Sky One is to screen video diary footage of Leslie taken during the police investigations in to sex offences.

Leslie faced charges of attacking a women, but these was dropped before trial, "leaving him without a stain on his character".

My Year of Hell gives Leslie's side of the story, including his feelings towards those who made allegations.

Leslie was dropped from ITV1's This Morning for failing to answer questions about his private life, including accusations of drug taking.

As he was cleared of all charges against him, he made an emotional statement that he had been "taken to hell and back" and vowed to resurrect his career.

Cleared

The Sky show includes interviews with girlfriend Abi Titmuss, close friends and family, as well as his legal team.

Leslie's "year in hell" began when he was sacked from his high-profile job following allegations in the press arising from Ulrika Jonsson's autobiography - although she herself had not named him.

Another woman then made allegations against him to the police and he was charged, but later cleared.

Following the withdrawal of charges in July, Leslie was keen to thank those that stuck by through the ordeal.

"I would not be able to be here, if it wasn't for my mum and dad, my family, my girlfriend, my friends who have to a man stood by me, and the general public for their letters, for their cards and their kind words," he said on the steps of the court.
