Rory McGrath, the comedian, has appeared in court accused of stalking a married woman for 14 months.

The 60-year-old TV star is alleged to have harassed the woman despite complaints from her, her husband and the police, a court heard.

McGrath is said to have sent his alleged victim electronic messages, approached her in the street and sent letters to her husband.

He spoke only to confirm his name, address and to enter a not guilty plea to a charge of stalking against a woman when he appeared at Cambridge Magistrates' Court on Tuesday morning.

His alleged victim cannot be named for legal reasons.

McGrath, from Cambridge, is accused of harassing the woman in the city between June last year and August this year.

Prosecutor Anthea Harris said the alleged offence continued over a 14-month period.

McGrath was granted conditional bail, which bans him from contacting the alleged victim or visiting an address in Cambridge.

McGrath, who has appeared in shows including They Think It’s All Over and Who Dares Wins, is due to stand trial in January.

You are right Sharron, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. However, I still don't think he's funny.

Tommy Cooper didn't make me laugh, nor, indeed, did Norman Wisdom.
