The BBC Radio 3 presenter had been left "heartbroken" after Juliette Banner, his partner of 17 years and mother of his two children, had started another relationship.

Sentencing him to three months in jail, suspended for 18 months, High Bailiff Michael Moyle, sitting at The Isle of Man Courts of Justice, told Kershaw he was not prepared to make him a "martyr".

Kershaw, 48, was also banned from driving for 16 months after pleading guilty to drink-driving.

Nigel Cordwell, defending Kershaw, said his client was "a man struggling to come to terms with personal tragedy".

He had been arrested by police and spent six days in the cells after trying to enter Ms Banner's home on August 29.

She secured a 12-month restraining order in court earlier last month which banned him from approaching her or her new partner, Jim Imrie.

The couple moved from London to the island in April last year to set up home in the picturesque coastal town of Peel.

But Ms Banner soon left the former Radio 1 presenter with their children, Sonny, nine, and Dolly, eight, to live with Mr Imrie.
