Andy Kershaw back in court over restraining order violation

Andy Kershaw received a suspended sentence on the Isle Of Man after breaching a restraining order by harassing ex Juliette Banner, days after leaving prison.

I think the phrase is "his own worst enemy". Former Radio1/3 DJ Andy Kershaw was back in court on the Isle Of Man yesterday accused of breaching a restraining order and harassing his ex, just three days after being let out of jail after serving a 44 day sentence for the very same crime.

Kershaw's mental breakdown seemingly worsened after he left jail and found out that his current partner, Catherine Turner, had also dumped him. He promptly went back to harassing his other ex, Juliette Banner, reportedly "taunting" her with offensive text and voicemail messages. Giving him a suspended sentence for the latest violation of the restraining order, the Isle Of Man's High Baliff urged the DJ to return to home town Rochdale and to live with his mum, who told the court she'd be happy to look after him.

Obviously keen to help Kershaw's depressive state, the judge told him he "cut a miserable and pathetic figure", adding: "Look at you, you look awful. I would encourage you to look at yourself long and hard. You must be breaking the heart of your mother and sister".
