Where is Abi Titmuss now? From lads’ mags and a sex tape with John Leslie to a new life in the US
ABI TITMUSS shot to fame in the noughties as John Leslie’s girlfriend, appearing in a threesome sex tape with the ex-Blue Peter host, before going on to start a new life in the US.
The ex-lads’ mag cover girl, now 44, first came to attention pictured alongside Leslie as he attended court in 2003, when a sexual assault case against him collapsed.
Yesterday, Leslie walked free from court again when he was cleared of a 2008 sexual assault.
After splitting with Leslie, Abi went on to be voted the seventh sexiest woman in the world.
In 2004, a sex tape involving her Leslie and an aspiring model came to light.
Abi went on to become a reality TV star, appearing in Celebrity Love Island, Hell’s Kitchen and Come Dine With Me.
In 2004 and 2005, she appeared on the cover of UK men’s magazines 38 times.
Abi went on to forge a career as an actress and now lives in the US with her husband.
On Monday, a jury found Leslie not guilty of groping a woman’s breasts at a party in 2008.
He collapsed in his seat as he was cleared of the sex assault allegation.
Leslie, who appeared under his birth name of John Stott, said the accusations were “ludicrous and crazy”.
When did Abi Titmuss date John Leslie and why did they split up?
Former glamour girl Abi now lives a life which is far cry from her time with Leslie and her days as a pin-up.
Abi first came to public attention as the girlfriend of TV presenter John Leslie whom she met in a Fulham bar on April 10, 1999.
She broke into the media in 2003 after being pictured beside Leslie when a sexual assault case against him collapsed.
But the couple split not long after and a sex tape of them with another woman emerged.
Abi later said of the tape: “I was devastated by the violation. It affected me very badly. I guess there was something accessible about me.”
In an interview in 2013, Abi told The Sun that if she met Leslie now, she wouldn’t have let him chat her up, she said: “If I could do it all again I would act differently. I would walk out of that bar and never look back.”
