Comedian Hardeep Singh Kohli has appeared in court charged with sex-related offences against three women at locations including at a BBC studio, with a trial date set for November.

Kohli appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday to face a total of six charges against three different women between 2007 and 2016.

The 56-year-old, who was a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, denies the charges.

Locations include the BBC studios at Pacific Quay, Glasgow, where he allegedly indecently assaulted a woman by squeezing her bottom and trying to hug her between April 2007 and September 2008.

It is also alleged he committed a breach of the peace in the woman’s presence in an unknown bar and restaurant in Glasgow between the same dates.

He is charged with a further indecent assault on the same woman at the Radisson Hotel in Glasgow, where he allegedly stroked the woman on the back and touched her hair, between the same dates.

Kohli, who appeared in court wearing a purple turban and a black-and-grey Adidas tracksuit, was released on bail.

The comedian, who lives in Glasgow, has appeared on TV shows including Loose Ends and Question Time.
