Justin Lee Collins.
TV star Justin Lee Collins turned up in the pouring rain today to attend his trial at St Albans Crown Court.
The 38-year-old Bristol-born comic jumped out of a taxi with a see through umbrella covering his trademark long hair.
He faces a charge of harassing his former girlfriend Anna Larke, causing fear of violence, between January and July last year.
Collins was previously the star of the Friday Night Project on Channel Four and this year has been appearing in the West End hit Rock of Ages.
