Justin Lee Collins denies cheating on his wife

But comic admits his behaviour could be seen as 'inappropriate'

Justin Lee Collins is said to have got close to friend Ann Finan

Justin Lee Collins has denied claims that he cheated on his wife Karen with a younger woman.

The Sunday Night Project star was accused of groping and kissing pal Ann Finan, 25, at the Grain Barge pub in Bristol earlier this month.

Onlookers claim the 34-year-old lifted up her top while she slid her hand between his legs.

The pair met when Justin was interviewed by her friend Claire Stanley for a local radio station.

Despite admitting his behaviour could be seen as ‘inappropriate’, Justin insists there's no affair.

‘Every marriage is different,’ he tells the News Of The World.

‘My wife and I have been together for 12 years. Our marriage works and we are totally OK.’

Ann also admits they got carried away.

‘I have known him a while,’ she says. ‘We had too many drinks and stepped over the mark. I have nothing else to say.’

Justin has kids Archie, 3, and Harvey, 9 months, with Karen, whom he married in 2003.
