Fred Talbot's weather forecasts from a floating map in Liverpool's Albert Dock made him a familiar face to millions across the UK.

But those watching his antics on ITV's This Morning had no idea he had a past as a teacher who preyed on vulnerable pupils for his own sexual gratification.

His trial in Manchester heard that he was "obsessed with teenage boys" and "could not help himself," especially when he had been drinking alcohol.

The abuse happened in the 1970s and was carried out during Talbot's time as a biology teacher at Altrincham Grammar School for Boys.

Victims described how they were forced to sleep naked with Talbot on canal barge school trips organised by the teacher.

Prosecutor Neil Usher told Minshull Street Crown Court "the very qualities that made Fred Talbot so successful as a TV celebrity - his boundless energy, his infectious enthusiasm, his extrovert personality - helped him gain, we say, the trust of these boys".
