Chiswick-based comedian and TV host Mark Lamarr faces assault and kidnap charges after an incident that took place at his home earlier this month.

The 51-year-old is best known for being the host of music quiz Never Mind the Buzzcocks for nine years up to 2005.

Reportedly the police were called after a woman’s screams were heard coming from his terraced house. The women is believed to be his ex-partner. Mr Lamarr was arrested and taken away for questioning.

He was charged on 1 September and was released on conditional bail and is now due to appear before magistrates in Uxbridge, on 2 October, according to the police.

One of his neighbours said, "I pass him regularly in the street and he will always smile and say hi. He is not starry at all, if anything a bit shy. It was very sad to hear what had happened."
