I'm a Celebrity star Aggro Santos has appeared in court accused of raping two girls, one of whom was 16 years old, in separate incidents dating back to 2010.

The 23-year-old rapper - real name Yuri Santos - is facing allegations that he forced one of his victims to have sex with him at a hotel in Yeovil after she approached him for a picture after a gig.

In a taped interview shown to the jury at Chichester Crown Court, the woman - who is in her 20s - told how Santos "went crazy" after she had consensual sex with his manager and kept repeating "I have been blessed, I have been blessed by Jesus" as he tried to force himself on her.

The woman only came forward to police after hearing of the second alleged incident in May 2011, in which Santos is accused of raping a 16-year-old backstage after a university ball in Chichester.

According to The Telegraph, the court heard how Santos had consensual sex with the teenager but then forced her into having intercourse for a second time.

His friend and co-defendant Tyrelle Ritchie is also standing trial for forcing the girl to perform a sex act on him during the alleged rape.

Santos denies two charges of rape, while Ritchie denies oral rape. The trial continues.
