She's a UK/Swedish TV presenter who 'feels the itch' quite often....seems the only bloke she hasn't had is me.
England boss Sven Erickson being one of them.
Anyway, she has a new book out claiming that a 'personality' raped her.
The uproar is that it was another TV presenter called John Leslie.
There,satisfied?

all the bbc reseachers will, at this exact moment, frantically scouring the archives for clips of him on blue peter & the wheel of fortune
this will (sadly) be no. 1 news item tomorrow, it apparently being far more important than the resignation of estelle morris, the siege in russia, and the US sniper.

He's hardly a major celebrity and if it weren't for who she'd slept with, nor would she be
I can't help but think the whole media thing trivialises rape by hyping "Celebrity" as the salient ingredient of the story. What a big pile of poo.

Good point. The way its dealt with, as some drama we can all enjoy like a soap opera, is kind of offensive.

"John Leslie (1989-94) Favourite of the tabloid press, Leslie has had more dish-the-dirt articles published than most Blue Peter presenters, most of which paint him as something of a lady's man (in the case of one allegation, two lesbian ladies in a Birmingham Travellodge - an encounter which ended only in disappointment for the lanky Scot). Kept Blue Peter badges in his car with which to bribe speed-trap coppers."

Well, you inferred that she had slept with lots of men and so she was either lying, or deserved it. That's a shitty attitude and worthy of twat status.
Using the word 'missus' to refer to your partner says it all.

THERE are stars who succeed in keeping their private lives and their careers completely separate. And then there is John Leslie.
You cannot talk about John Leslie's television career without talking about his women. His image is as dependent on his reputation as a ladykiller as on his skill in front of the camera.
John Leslie talks to Monica McDermott
A charmer with a taste for champagne, his high profile and good looks have offered Leslie access to the most beautiful women in showbiz and he has never been slow to make the most of those links.
It was Leslie himself who claimed to have taught the young Catherine Zeta- Jones everything she knows about sex.
He appeared at the premiere of Braveheart with an Irish beauty queen on his arm - only too aware of the need to cultivate a certain image.
And he has never been unduly bothered by the string of kiss-and-tell exposes about him - including numerous one night stands, very public pursuits of attractive women, and even an embarrassingly unsuccessful attempt to seduce two lesbians.
Although undoubtedly attractive to female viewers, in media circles, Leslie quickly cultivated a less-than-flattering reputation for his cheesy chat-up lines and blatant bar room come-ons.
However his success with women was undisputed. Friends say his conquests ran into the hundreds.
Beneath this sort of high-profile posturing, however, there has been a less confident side to John Leslie, who has found it difficult to form lasting relationships.
His longest to date was with Darling Buds of May actress Zeta- Jones. They dated for 18 months between 1992 and 1993, becoming TV's most photographed couple.
Leslie later said their relationship "wasn't going anywhere", although rumours persisted that he was a commitment-phobe who didn't want to marry the Welsh actress.
When they split up, he said: "You never get over someone you've been with for a year-and-a-half but that's the way it goes. I thought she was my ideal mate. We started to row a lot.

Put two Celtic persons together and it will be fiery."
In 1995 he sparked rumours of a new relationship when he arrived for the film premiere of Rob Roy with former Miss Ireland Siobahn McClafferty. He met the beauty queen in Dublin a week earlier and invited her along - claiming he didn't know she was a model.
They lost touch when she went to LA to try her hand at acting.
There followed a succession of highly publicised short relationships. In 1998 Leslie dated dancer Vicky Cater, 20, of South Croydon, for six months as she struggled to make it in the West End.
His next short fling was with 25-year-old nurse Abby Titmuss who he met in a London bar in 2000.
But it was at Scottish Television, where he presented Wheel of Fortune, that Leslie first earned his reputation as a womaniser, culminating in an infamous tryst in 1996 with two lesbians in a hotel room.
Barmaid Tracy Chappell, 19, and her partner Caroline Jenkins, 25, were drinking in a Birmingham gay club when Leslie invited them back to his hotel room for drinks.
Caroline, from Birmingham, said: "He handed out vodka, Bacardi and lager from the mini bar, then told us to relax and take our shoes and socks off. It was obvious what he was after.
"At one stage, Tracy and I sat on the bed, kissing. It got Leslie aroused. He was standing in his white Calvin Kleins, watching us. But when he tried to persuade us to get a bit more friendly, we decided to go. I went to the bathroom and he started pulling at Tracy's T-shirt and trying to fondle her.
"She told him to pack it in and we decided to leave but he followed us into the loo and told us to carry on what we were doing. He tried to fondle me but I told him to get lost. He made it plain he fancied us but we said we weren't interested."
When his antics were made public, Leslie simply laughed it off. He said: "For once I was beaten by the better guy. The girls clearly fancied each other more than me."
However, less than three years later his off-screen exploits led to a comp

However, less than three years later his off-screen exploits led to a complaint being made to police.
After filming STV's Hogmany Live in Edinburgh he allegedly invited himself back to a flat with four students where they claimed he partially stripped before pushing two of them on to a bed and demanding a Christmas kiss.
It was also alleged he refused to leave unless the girls dressed him.
Although Fiona Cunningham, Gillian Dick and Leanne McGurk, all 23, were too upset to talk, a friend said at the time: "As far as he was concerned, they were all game. He was very drunk and was making moves on all of them. They were getting a bit scared as he was hitting on them all." Police did not pursue the allegations and Leslie denied all knowledge.
Leslie, whose dad was a salesman and mother was a social worker, claimed he was a late starter with women, losing his virginity at 17 to a girl in a wedding dress pinned with L-plates at a fancy-dress party.
His early shyness and lack of self-confidence stemmed from being bullied over his height at James Gillespie's High School in Edinburgh.
He once said: "I was a late starter in terms of understanding women and developing relationships with them.
"A woman could walk in now and I could be immediately smitten. You know when it's right almost instantly. I think the love side can develop but you have to feel lust straight away, don't you?"
After a year as a chorister, he left school to study music and after a stint as a DJ in Denmark, started his TV career. At first he was turned down for roles for being too tall, but in 1989, he joined Blue Peter which he hosted with Diana Louise Jordan, Yvette Fielding and later Anthea Turner.
He said: "Although I've never consciously set out to have an image, I did have to be aware of it when I was on Blue Peter. I told them there were no skeletons in my closet. When you are on a programme like that you have to set an example to children."
He left Blue Peter in 1994 to host the critically-panned game

Jonesy,don't you think you're taking all of this far too seriously?
Personally,all 'stars' are there to be ridiculed (i'm on the outside looking in)
My 'dig' was about UJ,not women in general...I couldn't give a f*ck about her.
Now i'm in 'serious' mode.(!)
