Story summary

James English, a 43-year-old podcaster from Larkhall in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, appeared in the reality TV series Glow before launching his podcast Anything Goes, which has over 800,000 subscribers on YouTube. He was convicted of domestic abuse after a trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court, where he faced several charges including seizing and pinning his pregnant partner against a door and pressing his thumbs into her eyebrows. Additional incidents included kicking her body while she was lying down and striking her face.

English had been scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday but the hearing was postponed due to an uncompleted report required by the court, necessitating further meetings with social workers. Sheriff David Hall deferred sentencing until November 11 for a more comprehensive evaluation. Meanwhile, the court continues considering the issuance of a non-harassment order against English, who remains on bail pending the next hearing.
