This Morning
[From series 11 in 1999 Leslie,
alongside Fern Britton, was a regular presenter
of the Friday edition.
When Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan
departed the show in 2001, they were
replaced by Coleen Nolan and Twiggy,
with Britton and Leslie remaining on Fridays.
However, Nolan and Twiggy proved less popular
with viewers,
so Britton and Leslie took on the full job
of presenting the show,
bringing the ratings back up to around one million.
In 2002, after allegations of sexual offences were
made in the press against Leslie,
he was dismissed from the programme and
replaced by Phillip Schofield from Mondays to Thursdays
and by Eamonn Holmes on Fridays (with Ruth Langsford).]
[In October 2002, Ulrika Jonsson had written
in her autobiography, Honest, that "an acquaintance"
had raped her when she was 19.
Amid media speculation, television presenter
Matthew Wright mistakenly named Leslie
as the alleged predator on The Wright Stuff.
Jonsson has never said whether the correct person
was named, and Leslie was never charged
for offences against Jonsson.
Wright has since apologised to Leslie and said
he named him in error.
Despite this, the story was widely covered in the tabloids.]
