John Leslie kicks off TV comeback
John Leslie's career has stalled since the 2002 allegations
Former television host John Leslie is to relaunch his career by appearing in a charity football show.

Leslie was abruptly dropped from hosting ITV's This Morning show in October 2002 after allegations of indecent assault were made.

He was cleared of all charges almost 10 months later.

The presenter will appear on Fashanu's Football Challenge for cable channel Bravo.

Leslie will play in the match with rugby star Lawrence Dallaglio, actor Ralf Little, model Calum Best, Fame Academy coach David Grant and Harvey from So Solid Crew.
