A teenage girl who claims former London's Burning actor John Alford sexually assaulted her at a party said she felt 'absolutely sick' after the incident and suffered a breakdown, a court heard today.

The alleged victim, who was 15 at the time, described how the TV star 'started to touch me' after he had bought alcohol for her and a younger girl to drink.

The other girl, then aged 14, has told the court Alford, who also appeared in Grange Hill, had sex with her twice – once in the garden of the house they were in and again in a toilet.

In footage of a police interview shown to the jury today, the older girl told officers: 'We were all just like dozing off. That was when John started to touch me.'

Asked how she felt afterwards, she added: 'Sick. I felt absolutely sick. I wasn't going to tell anyone.'
