Sir Tom Jones has claimed he was targeted by a sex pest as he spoke out following the Harvey Weinstein scandal in Hollywood.

Telling BBC Radio 5 Live's Afternoon Edition that harassment and abuse was not just the preserve of the film industry, he also said that men were targeted the same way women were.

He suggested that in the music industry, sex pests tried to exchange sexual favours in exchange for advancing a young star's career.

He revealed: "Things have always happened in the music industry as well.

"There's been people complaining about publicists and different things they've been expected to do to get a record contract, just like a film contract."
