A man has denied social media stalking BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin and her adult daughter Mia.

Carl Davies pleaded not guilty to two offences allegedly made last July during a hearing at Mold Crown Court. He is due to face trial in October.

The 43-year-old, of Flint in Flintshire, is accused of causing serious alarm or distress to the breakfast TV presenter.

It is alleged he made intimidating comments and threats on Instagram.

The charges span from 14 to17 July and the trial is expected to last two days.

Judge Rhys Rowlands did not reimpose an order made at magistrates' court banning identification of the alleged victims.

Duncan Bould, defending, said: "The issue is he didn't send the messages."

Bail conditions imposed on Mr Davies include him not contacting the complainants or approaching BBC buildings.
