A female actor claims she was sexually assaulted at the home of a Still Game star.

The 29 year-old alleges being attacked at the flat of Scott Reid in Kelvindale in Glasgow's west end.

The woman said she was left "frozen" allegedly at the hands of Kevin Guthrie, who jurors heard knew both from drama school.

The 33 year-old is on trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court, where he denies a charge of sexual assault.

The woman had been due to meet Guthrie and Scott at a bar on the night of the alleged attack - September 30 2017.

But, Scott - who played Methadone Mick in BBC's Still Game - later got a phone call to say she was unwell and needed collected from a taxi.

He and Guthrie went on to help the woman into the flat.

Scott told jurors how he then phoned NHS 24 for help as her condition became "more serious".

He added: "I left him (Guthrie) in the bedroom to make sure she was OK while I took advice."

Scott said he returned to the room "numerous times" and that Guthrie was "still in the same position" sitting on a box.

But, in her evidence, the woman recalled Scott not being there and bed covers "being moved down my body".

She went on: "I remember my top being lifted up and my bra being held down."

The woman alleged being groped by Guthrie and him performing a sex act on her.

She went on: "There would be times when Scott would come back in the room and he would pull the covers back on top of me and pull my top down."

She claimed Guthrie carried out a further two sexual acts and kissed her on the mouth.

The woman claimed Guthrie stopped when Scott would come into the room.

She added: "I was unsure about what was happening, I could not believe it was happening."

Prosecutor Harry Findlay asked why she did not say anything.

She replied: "I couldn’t...I found it difficult to communicate in any way.

"I think I was frozen as well."

The woman claimed, during one of the attacks, Guthrie played porn on a phone which she knew by the "distinct sounds."

She next recalled waking up beside Scott Reid the next morning.

Jurors heard how Scott stated in a police statement: "She woke up...she asked me 'why my trousers were undone' and I said I did not know."

The woman later went to the hospital with her mother.

Gordon Jackson QC, defending, suggested the woman was "unclear" and that "as the months pass, it is a jumble".

But, she replied: "No."

The trial continues before Sheriff Tom Hughes.
