Television weatherman Fred Talbot has appeared in court ahead of his trial for historic sex offences.
The 65-year-old is accused of 10 counts of indecent assault against five teenagers between 1969 and 1982.
Talbot, of Bowdon, Greater Manchester, denies the alleged offences.
Today he appeared at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester as jury selection took place for his trial, starting tomorrow.
The former teacher was a regular on the floating weather map in Liverpool's Albert Dock for ITV's top-rating This Morning show.
His trial is expected to last up to four weeks.
