Former Eggheads star CJ De Mooi has been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of murder for an alleged killing that happened more than 20 years ago.

The 46-year-old TV show star, whose real name is Joseph Connagh, was stopped by police at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday.

The arrest comes after a European Arrest Warrant was issued in the Netherlands after he apparently confessed to the crime in his autobiography.

The 46-year-old said in his book that he punched a man who approached him with a knife, then threw him into a canal in Amsterdam in 1988.

Chris Stevens, representing de Mooi, said there was a "lot of missing information" from the warrant.

The former panellist on the BBC quiz show, who appeared in court under his real name Joseph Connagh, could face extradition and was released on £5,000 bail to appear at the court on November 28 for a hearing.

He was also banned from international travel, has to sleep every night at his home address and keep a charged mobile phone with him at all times.
