The trial was due to begin at Exeter Crown Court last year but judge Francis Gilbert QC adjourned proceedings to allow the defence more time to explore further medical evidence relating to the case.

There were question marks over whether Bradshaw is fit to stand trial, having been moved to a mental health unit in March last year.

The pair were arrested on the St Andrews estate in Cullompton after being seen driving around the village of Langford in a Fiat Punto, a few miles from the singer’s home.

Bradshaw and Liverpool, both of St Stephen’s Close in Manchester, were arrested on June 13.

Their trial is expected to last up to three weeks.
