Tarrant arrested in curry house TV's Tarrant 'bemused' by arrest
(about 2 hours later)
Television presenter Chris Tarrant has been bailed after being arrested following an incident at an Indian restaurant in Nottingham. TV presenter Chris Tarrant is said to be "bemused" following his arrest in Nottingham for an alleged assault.
Police received a 999 call at about 2200 BST on Sunday from a man who claimed he had been assaulted. The Who Wants to be a Millionaire? host was arrested after allegedly injuring a fellow diner with a piece of cutlery at a curry house in the city.
They attended the MemSaab curry house on Maid Marian Way, where they arrested a 60-year-old man. According to his spokesman, Tarrant had jokingly dropped cutlery onto the table of a couple with whom he had bantered.
A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said the man was "bailed to a date in June pending further inquiries". "There was no physical contact, no unpleasantness and no hostility," said the former Tiswas host's publicist.
The Who Wants to be a Millionaire? presenter has rarely been out of the headlines since the collapse of his marriage last year. "It was just part of the ongoing banter between the two tables."
Tarrant and his wife Ingrid separated after a series of stories appeared in the media accusing Tarrant of an affair. The couple divorced in February. He said Tarrant had had two pints of beer over the course of the day and had shared a bottle of red wine at the restaurant with a colleague.
The presenter's publicist could not be reached for comment. 'Shocked and stunned'
"Ten minutes later, Chris said he was aware of raised voices and sees the bloke leaving the restaurant and assumed he had a row with his girlfriend," his representative continued.
"Chris goes back to the Plaza Hotel directly opposite. Half an hour later four flak-jacketed police officers turn up and arrest him on suspicion of assault."
The presenter, who had spent three days filming a show for disabledchildren in the city, was bailed to appear in June.
