John Leslie is still alive; the biggest thing that “happened” to him is that his TV career largely collapsed after a long series of high‑profile allegations, from which he has repeatedly been cleared in court. In recent years he has kept a low public profile, doing some radio work and largely living away from mainstream television.

Who John Leslie Is

  • John Leslie (full name John Leslie Stott) is a Scottish former TV and radio presenter , best known for hosting “Blue Peter”, “Wheel of Fortune” and “This Morning” in the late 80s, 90s and early 2000s.
  • His mainstream TV work effectively stopped in the early 2000s after his name became linked to serious sexual allegations in the press.

The Allegations And Trials

  • In 2003 he was charged with indecent assault relating to alleged incidents in the 1990s but was acquitted; the case and tabloid coverage still severely damaged his career.
  • He later faced other separate accusations, including a 2017 club incident in Edinburgh and an alleged 2008 Westminster incident; these went to court years later, and he was acquitted each time or the case ended with no conviction.

Being Cleared And Aftermath

  • In October 2020 a jury at Southwark Crown Court found him not guilty of sexually assaulting a woman at a Christmas party in 2008, with the verdict reached after only 23 minutes of deliberation.
  • Leslie has spoken publicly about how the allegations and media attention left him anxious, mistrustful of the press and feeling that his life and reputation had been permanently changed, even after being cleared.

What He’s Been Doing Since

  • After his TV career faded, he moved into other work including property and later some radio presenting on local and regional stations in Scotland.
  • As of mid‑2020s reports, he is not a regular figure on national UK television and appears to be living a quieter life, occasionally surfacing in interviews that reflect on his past and the impact of the allegations.
