Comedian appears in court on stalking charge

Comedian Rory McGrath has appeared in court accused of stalking a married woman over 14 months.

The 60-year-old TV star appeared briefly at Huntingdon Magistrates' Court where he spoke only to confirm his name, address and to enter a not guilty plea.

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

He was granted conditional bail which bans him from contacting the woman or visiting an address in Cambridge. He is due to stand trial in January.
