Judge apologises to television star at indecency trial

A JUDGE apologised to television star Paul Whitehouse last night after he was told he would have to return to court to give evidence in the Chris Langham indecency trial.

The Fast Show comedian was due to enter the witness box for the prosecution today, but lengthy evidence from an expert witnesses meant the court ran out of time.

Judge Philip Statman brought him into court to apologise personally in front of the jury.
