A podcaster found guilty of domestic abuse against his former partner is due to be sentenced.

James English, 43, was found guilty of engaging in a course of behaviour which was abusive of the woman between July 2022 and November 2023 in Glasgow and elsewhere.

He was convicted of several allegations on the single charge following a trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

These included an incident where he seized her neck and pinned her against a door when she was pregnant, and another where he pressed his thumbs into her eyebrows.

Other incidents included kicking her on the body causing her to fall off a bed, and striking her on the face.

He is due to be sentenced at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

The 43-year-old, from Larkhall, South Lanarkshire, appeared in Glow, the Scottish reality TV series, and went on to launch the podcast Anything Goes, which has more than 800,000 subscribers on YouTube.

A description on the YouTube channel says it is “the home of raw, unfiltered, and powerful conversations” with guests including “true crime figures, ex-gangsters and police officers”.
