Andy Kershaw has been released from jail into the care of his mum after he was arrested for breaching a restraining order on Sunday.

The former Radio 1 DJ, 48, was detained after sending abusive text and voice messages to ex-partner Juliet Banner's mobile.

He had been released from prison just two days earlier after serving 44 days for the same offence.

A judge heard he had suffered “emotional meltdown” after his new girlfriend Catherine Turner ended their relationship.

Kershaw was ordered to go home with mum Eileen, 73, after she said she would look after him.
