Comedian Jim Davidson showed up in Chelmsford today to support celebrity friend and rapper Dappy ahead of his assault trial.
The pair appeared in Celebrity Big Brother together earlier this year.
The N-Dubz star - real name Costadinos Contostavlos - is accused of assaulting George Chittock at Chicago's nightclub in the city centre on February 27.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Speaking this morning (June 18), former Generation Game host Davidson said he travelled to Chelmsford from London at 6am to show his support to Dappy - but admitted he knew nothing about the case.
He said: "I would research it but I can't exactly look at Wikipedia because you can't trust Wikipedia.
"I just thought I would come here and say hello and then let him go in.
"Dappy is a friend of mine from Celebrity Big Brother and I like him.
"It's a very worrying thing going to court whether you're innocent or guilty."
Asked about his early morning journey, Davidson, who milled about outside court posing for selfies, said: "I found a nice place round the corner for breakfast, yes in Saracens."
When asked what he had for breakfast, he replied: "You can't ask me that – the full European!"
Assault by beating carries a maximum six months jail term.
