A comedian who appeared on a Channel 4 comedy panel show has been sentenced after being found with thousands of indecent images of children.
Christopher Thomas Binns avoided prison after he was handed a suspended sentence. The 53-year-old performs as hospital DJ Ivan Brackenbury and has appeared on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
He pleaded guilty last November to five counts of making indecent images of children and one of possessing a prohibited image.
He was sentenced at Derby Crown Court today (Thursday, August 17) by Judge Shaun Smith KC. Binns was handed a 10-month sentence suspended for 15 months, after the judge decided he posed no risk to the public.
