Breakfast television presenter Alistair Robertson has pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual assault and one of attempted rape.
The star appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh yesterday, April 2, and was warned that he would face a custodial sentence.
Adjourning the case for a week, Judge Lady Morpeth said: ‘You were in a position of trust and you used that power to assault women who looked up to you.’
Robertson presented Good Morning Scotland for ten years and was voted the nation’s favourite TV star three years in a row. He was a runner-up on Celebrity Masterchef and was tipped to be in the line-up for next year’s Strictly Come Dancing.
He shares his million-pound house in Edinburgh’s swanky Marchmont area with his wife, Tess – a top lawyer – and their teenage daughter.
Outspoken Tess (pictured leaving court), has been under fire since she tweeted that ‘silly girls should think about their actions before ruining people’s lives’. The tweet has since been deleted.

Survivorandlovingit said: Victim blaming is the lowest of the low. She needs to get in the bin.
Proudmum said: She should be ashamed of herself. What kind of woman looks the other way when her husband is up to all sorts.
Sayit said: Agreed. She’s a disgrace. Like a Poundshop Hillary Clinton. Imagine putting their daughter at risk like that. I heard the victims were in their teens.
