Noel Edmonds and the NSPCC have now spoken about how the justice system in the UK treats children appallingly. Noel is supporting the NSPCC's campaign to ensure all child witnesses have the support they need in court.
He said: "Many children receive virtually no support at all. They turn up on the day and see some hairy-arsed warder who points to where they will be standing.
"Judges are in a world of their own. The judge is in total control of his court and he decides if the child should be denied a video link, the right to be screened or that wigs and gowns should remain. They are often gentlemen who have very little experience of young children and the sector of society from which these children are receiving this appalling behaviour. They are out of touch and I believe they are out of touch with public opinion."
He added: "The NSPCC are very keen for me to moderate my language on this but I am very angry that... we still have a situation in a supposed civilised society that children report that appearing in court is worse than the abuse they suffered in the first place. That is absolutely appalling."
