DJ told to 'go home with mother' | |
(about 5 hours later) | |
DJ Andy Kershaw has been advised to leave the Isle of Man and go to live with his mother after he was arrested for harassing his former partner. | |
The 48-year-old appeared at the High Bailiff's Court in Douglas just three days after being released from prison for the same offence. | |
He had served 44 days for harassing the mother of his two children. | |
The High Bailiff gave him a suspended sentence and urged him to return to Rochdale with his mother to recover. | |
'Miserable and pathetic' | |
His mother Eileen Kershaw, 73, told the court she would look after him at her Greater Manchester home. | |
The court heard how Kershaw had suffered "emotional meltdown" at the weekend. | |
Just before his release from prison, he had received a letter from his new partner, Catherine Turner, telling him their relationship was over. | |
High Bailiff Michael Moyle told Kershaw he "cut a miserable and pathetic figure". | |
He agreed to suspend a six-month jail term for two years for pleading guilty to a breach of the restraining order, if Kershaw agreed to leave the Isle of Man to sort out his personal problems. | |
Kershaw hugged his mother outside court and said: "I won't squander this chance." |
