Leslie dumped again - August 04
John Leslie has been ditched by short time girlfriend.
The television presenter has been through the mill over the last year or so, there’s no denying that but it seems that he just can’t get it right when it comes to women. Having hooked law graduate Angela Stewart you’d think John would make more of an effort this time but she dropped him pretty quick when his bullying demands became too much. "It was a continuous obsession of wanting to have a threesome or to have someone in to watch us make love," she told The Sun. So, how did our favourite charmer get over the split? By jetting off to Marbella to try out a chat-up line featuring mention of the size of his manhood on an unsuspecting local lady. will he ever learn?
John Leslie wants to quit TV - May 04
It seems John Leslie has had enough of being on television and wants to quit.
The former blue eyed boy lost all of his sparkle when scandalous allegations were raised against him last year. When he cleared his name, it was thought he would begin to build up his career again, only to appear in the media for having a colourful sex life with then girlfriend Abi Titmuss, who has since left him to be a glamour model. So it is unsurprising to hear he wants to leave TV behind him and concentrate his energies into a different industry. The Sun has reported that he wants to go into property development instead.
Give them back! - Jan 04
John Leslie and girlfriend Abi Titmuss have got a court injunction ordering the return of sexy photographs taken of the pair.
Ex basketball player Jayson Blayde reportedly went to John’s home after being invited to join him and Abi for group sex sessions. John is supposed to have filmed and taken photographs of the orgy, which Jayson then somehow got hold of and gave (sold) to the NOTW. This couldn’t come (a-hem) at a worse time for John, especially as he is just starting to re-launch his career after the scandal for which he was cleared from last year. (Scroll down for more on that one). Abi is also getting repercussions, she has been fired from her job on the Richard and Judy show following the reports.
Now John and Abi have the injunction, it orders Jayson to "preserve and deliver up" to the couple’s solicitors the images in his "possession, custody or power". The couple’s legal representatives, H2O, said Mr Justice Toulson ruled that until 4.30pm on January 27 Mr Blayde must not show or publish to any person any video footage, photographs, stills or other images in any medium which comprised or derived from material taken from Mr Leslie’s home on or about January 13 or 14.
Mr Blayde must also within seven days of the order make and serve on the couple’s solicitors an affidavit stating what has become of images referred to which had been but no longer were in his possession, custody or power.

He spent his early years in the choir and studied music on leaving school - culminating in a stint as a DJ in Copenhagen. But he really wanted to be on television - so used his time to send demo tapes of himself to nearly every regional net work in the hope of getting a break. He finally did on Yorkshire TV to host their all night pop show - The Music Box.
On the move to television he dropped his last name ’Stott’ as he was told that many people might have a problem pronouncing it - so became simply John Leslie. In 1989 he achieved national recognition - at least by the nations children, as he became the first Scottish presenter to join Blue Peter. Four years here saw him on the way to other shows such as Survivor and The Wheel of Fortune - and he finally landed the best daytime television job of all - co-hosting This Morning with Fern Britton on ITV.
John Leslie was the fiancé of Catherine Zeta Jones for a year and since then he has yet to meet the right woman. He has once said - "If I hadn’t got into television and was still living in Edinburgh I would probably be married by now but I don’t know if it would be to the right person"
