A CHILDREN'S television presenter has appeared in court today where he denied possessing extreme animal porn.
Stephen Kish, 30, who was the presenter of Officially Amazing on CBBC, appeared before Hove Crown Court where he pleaded not guilty to a single charge.
The charge states that he "possessed extreme pornographic image, which portrayed in an explicit and realistic way, a person performing an act of intercourse or oral sex with an animal".
It states the image was "grossly offensive, disgusting, or otherwise of an obscene character".
Kish, of Hove, who also runs dog-walking firm Tails of Love and Pet Care, was bailed to appear for trial next year.
The 30-year-old is a star of Officially Amazing, representing the UK as 'Sizzlin' Steve' while trying to beat silly Guinness World Records.
He once held the record for fastest time to sort 500g of Peanut M&Ms and currently holds the record for most toots of a party blower in 30 seconds.
Kish has achieved over 50 world records on the show, from earning 37,510 points on Angry Birds to earning the highest score on the world's biggest PAC-Man game.
Officially Amazing is made by independent production company Lion TV for CBBC. No further series have been commissioned.
All episodes were removed from BBC platforms when the corporation became aware of the allegations.
The trial is due to take place on April 29.
