A MAN appeared in court yesterday charged with harassing TV vet Trude Mostue.

John Maynard, 55, of Portland Street, York, also faced six further allegations when he appeared at Richmond Magistrates Court, North Yorkshire.

As well as the harassment charge involving Ms Mostue, Mr Maynard is alleged to have made threats to kill two women on Hallowe'en night this year.

He is also accused of threatening four women with violence. He made no plea to any of the charges.

Mr Maynard made no application for bail and he was remanded in custody until January 4.

Oslo-born Ms Mostue shot to fame after appearing in the fly-on-the-wall documentary Vet School, and went on to star in Vets in Practice.
