DUSTIN Lance Black has arrived at court with husband Tom Daley where he faces trial accused of assaulting a woman at a nightclub.
The screenwriter, 49, allegedly chucked a drink over Teddy Edwardes, who is a host of BBC3 show The Big Proud Party Agency.
Black, who has two kids with Olympic diver Daley, 29, is due to go on trial today at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
