The charge against Blades alleges his behaviour had a serious effect’ on his partner.
Judge James Burbidge KC rejected an application for part of the proceedings to be heard in private, before adjourning the case with a possible trial date of May 6 next year.
The future of BBC TV programme The Repair Shop, which he has been a part of ever since it launched in 2017, has been called into question.

An insider reportedly told The Sun: ‘The Beeb won’t feature any new shows in which he appears until it is clear how legal proceedings conclude.’
The broadcaster previously confirmed to Metro that he is not currently filming the programme, and the BBC is currently not going to be scheduling any programmes in which he is featured- but content that already features Blades will remain on BBC iPlayer.
Metro has reached out to Jay Blades’ representatives and the West Mercia Police for comment.
