John Leslie appears to be in Wimbledon with his wife, Kate Moore. He settled there with his wife when bogus sexual allegations jeopardized his life and career.

He was one of the nation's sweethearts, with appearances on Blue Peter and This Morning, until Matthew Wright incorrectly identified him as the accused rapist of Ulrika Jonsson.

Where Is John Leslie Now?

Leslie presently lives in private with his girlfriend, Kate Moore. After relocating to Edinburgh, he temporarily returned to his prior job, hosting a radio show on Castle FM.

He allegedly currently works in real estate development(Nationalworld).

Leslie is a former Scottish television and radio presenter whose career went downhill after he was accused of indecent and sexual assault. 

The rise and fall of Scottish TV personality John Leslie was the subject of a Channel 5 program this week. He has mostly vanished from social media in the aftermath of the allegations, despite he was acquitted of all the allegations.

At his peak, he was one of the most recognizable faces on UK television, rivaling the celebrity enjoyed now by Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby, and Alison Hammond.

Leslie's career, however, disintegrated when he became the center of a media storm following high-profile rape claims.

After becoming the first Scottish host of children's favorite Blue Peter and co-hosting This Morning with Fern Britton, the Edinburgh star had a number of famous and glam girlfriends throughout his climb.

However, he became a near overnight pariah and was fired in 2002.

Ulrika Jonsson, a TV host, claimed in her autobiography that year that a well-known TV celebrity raped her. During the incident, she was a 19-year-old secretary in 1988, but she did not name her alleged assailant.

Journalist Matthew Wright wrongly identified John as the suspected rapist lives on television and later apologized to Leslie.

The tragedy sent shockwaves across the celebrity world, leaving followers bewildered at what was happening.

Following his accusations, he was once in the news in 2020 when his connection with a 27-year-old hairstylist became public. The former Blue Peter presenter, 55, has been seeing the lovely Kate Moore, 27, for a year.

John Leslie's Relationship With His Wife Kate Moore

John Leslie made his relationship with Kate Moore public in November 2020, when they were seen holding hands as they strolled around London.

On the other hand, Kate was initially eager to keep famous lover a secret because the former TV presenter was older than her step-father.

Kate has shared Instagram photographs from exotic locations, including a romantic vacation to the Maldives, without saying who she was with.

She also shared a photo of her breakfast with Leslie's unique watch in the backdrop.

However, the pair has recently informed friends that they are house-hunting and aim to find a love nest around Wimbledon, southwest London.

They were pictured looking like honeymooners, cuddling and holding hands in black winter jackets on romantic strolls.

Kate has experienced some anguish from her family regarding her new relationship, a friend of the couple told The Sun. Some of her family members are enraged.

She is not a party girl and is extremely close to her ailing mother, so hearing criticism about her new guy was difficult.

Kate opted to make her social media posts enigmatic, showing herself being wined and fed across the world without saying who she was with.

John was also concerned about the age difference and how others may see his new girl.

However, the couple has decided to go public with their relationship. They're madly in love and have resolved not to care what other people think.

Per Kate's Instagram, she is at Wimbledon with her infant son, who we presumed is Leslie's. She has not, however, shared or referenced him on her Instagram.

John Leslie Is A Television Presenter Who Was Accused Of Sexual Assault 

The Rise & Fall of John Leslie, a Channel 5 documentary aired last night, looked at how he won in court but had a tougher task in winning over the court of public opinion.

He was first mistakenly named as the alleged predator by Matthew Wright when Ulrika Jonsson revealed in her autobiography about her being raped. 

Wright has already apologized to Leslie and stated that he mistakenly called him(Daily Record).

"I believe he simply made a pretty terrible mistake, and unfortunately, I was the one paying the price," Leslie said of Wright's decision not to sue him.

He was co-hosting This Morning when the claims surfaced, and he only discovered Wright had identified him after he left the show.

"That was all. I was thrown into a room, there were hundreds of reporters outside, and everything went crazy. "Leslie stated this in court in October 2020. It was after being found not guilty of sexual assault against a woman who alleged he touched her in 2008.

Leslie claimed that he dated Ulrika for "many months" while they were rising stars and that they had a "wonderful time" before breaking up "amicably."

He was fired from his £240,000-a-year contract on This Morning, and ITV replaced him with current host Phillip Schofield.

In June 2003, he was accused of abusing a lady twice between May 25 and May 28, 1997. However, after fresh evidence from the claimed victim, the prosecution dropped the charges against Leslie at Southwark Crown Court on July 31, 2003.

After a two-day trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, Leslie was found not guilty of assaulting a lady in a nightclub in June 2017.

Leslie was also accused in June 2019 of sexually assaulting a 30-year-old woman in Westminster in December 2008. Leslie pleaded not guilty in August at Southwark Crown Court and was freed on bail. 

On October 19, 2020, a jury found him not guilty.
