A fan of Girls Aloud and X-Factor star Cheryl Cole is to be evicted from his Nottinghamshire flat for playing her music loudly through the night.

Mansfield County Court heard Martin Bramwell, 22, played music in his first floor council flat in Ladybrook Lane until 0400 and also slammed doors.

At Wednesday's hearing, the court was told one neighbour had gone to stay with friends to escape the noise.

Bramwell has been ordered to leave the flat before 4 March.

The court heard Bramwell continued to cause problems despite repeated warnings and having an injunction imposed on him in October 2009.

Mansfield District Council installed noise monitoring machines and played these recordings to the court.

Councillor Danny McCrossan, Portfolio Holder for Public Protection at Mansfield District Council, commented: "Justice has been done. No-one should have to face this type of anti-social behaviour." </p

BBC television presenter Ray Gosling says he has told police the identity of the former lover he smothered to death.

The 70-year-old was arrested on suspicion of murder after describing in a documentary how he carried out the mercy killing of the man.

Mr Gosling, from Nottingham, was released on bail and is due to report back to police in April.

He has said the man had Aids and was in severe pain. He said that he would not be making any further comment.

He was released following questioning by detectives for more than 30 hours in custody.

'Terrible situation'

The Nottingham filmmaker said earlier that he had made a pact with his lover to act if his suffering increased.

In the film, which was broadcast last week on Inside Out East Midlands, he said: "It's a terrible situation. I loved him to bits.

"We had a pact - he said if the pain gets bad and if nothing can be done, don't let him linger on.

"I picked up the pillow and smothered him until he was dead. When you love someone, it is difficult to see them suffer."

He added: "I don't think it's a crime." </p

Broadcaster Ray Gosling, who said in a BBC television programme that he had killed his terminally ill lover, has been released on police bail.

Mr Gosling, 70, was arrested on Wednesday morning on suspicion of murder after his comments were aired on the BBC's Inside Out programme.

In Monday's documentary he said he had smothered the man, who he said was dying of Aids.

His solicitor said his client had not named the individual to police.

'Taken aback'

Speaking after his release Mr Gosling's solicitor Digby Johnson said: "He needs some time just to sit and think it all through in the light of everything that's happened.

"It will be some days before he can say for sure whether he thinks it was a good idea or not.

"He's very surprised by the attention that it has drawn. Ray thought that this was a fairly short item on a regional TV programme and it really wouldn't cause many ripples.

"The very magnitude of the attention really has taken him aback and has given him cause for thought."

Mr Gosling left Oxclose Lane Police Station in Nottingham after being questioned on suspicion of murder for a day-and-a-half. </p

Police are questioning the presenter over his claims.

A police spokesman said: "A 70-year-old Nottingham man was arrested earlier on suspicion of murder following comments made on the BBC's Inside Out programme on Monday evening."

"It's a terrible situation. I loved him to bits"

In the BBC East Midlands programme, broadcast on Monday, he told how he smothered the man with a pillow while he was in hospital after doctors told him that there was nothing further that could be done for him.

Mr Gosling did not name either his lover or the hospital.

He said: "I said to the doctor: 'Leave me… just for a bit,' and he went away.

"I picked up the pillow and smothered him until he was dead.

"The doctor came back and I said: 'He's gone.' Nothing more was ever said.

"When you love someone, it is difficult to see them suffer."

Mr Gosling said he was aware of the possible consequences and had no regrets.

He said: "It's a terrible situation. I loved him to bits.

Ray Gosling told the Inside Out programme he smothered the man who was dying of Aids.

Pressure group Care Not Killing, said it was "bizarre" the BBC had not told police of the admission when it was filmed in December.

But BBC officials said they are under no obligation to report to police.

During a documentary on death and dying the 70-year-old Nottingham filmmaker said he had made a pact with his lover to act if his suffering increased.

In the BBC East Midlands programme, broadcast on Monday, he told how he smothered the man with a pillow while he was in hospital after doctors told him that there was nothing further that could be done for him.

"It wasn't clear... whether his lover even wanted to be killed or asked to be."

Mr Gosling did not name either his lover or the hospital.

Dr Peter Saunders, from Care Not Killing, said Mr Gosling's account sounded like a case "not of assisted suicide but of intentional killing or murder".

He said: "It's rather bizarre this was filmed more than two months ago and the BBC has been sitting on it and hasn't informed the police and the case hasn't been investigated.

"At the moment all we have is Ray's word there was a pact and it wasn't clear from his description whether his lover even wanted to be killed or asked to be.

"It's not up to us as the viewing public, on the basis of one very brief selective testimony, to draw conclusions on what might be a very complex case.

"That's why it's so important all these cases be fully investigated so the true facts can come out."

Following the broadcast, police confirmed they had launched an inquiry.

A spokesman said: "We were not aware of Mr Gosling's comments until the BBC Inside Out programme was shown.

"We are now liaising with the BBC and will investigate the matter."

A BBC spokesman said the organisation will co-operate fully with the investigation.

They said Mr Gosling's "secret" was not known before he was commissioned to make the report on death and dying, adding: "The first the BBC knew of this incident was during filming for the programme that was broadcast on 15 Feb 2010.

"The BBC is under no legal obligation to refer the matter to the police in these circumstances."

In the film Mr Gosling describes smothering his lover.

'Terrible situation'

He said: "I said to the doctor: 'Leave me… just for a bit,' and he went away.

"I picked up the pillow and smothered him until he was dead.

"The doctor came back and I said: 'He's gone.' Nothing more was ever said.

"When you love someone, it is difficult to see them suffer."

Mr Gosling said he was aware of the possible consequences and had no regrets.

He said: "It's a terrible situation. I loved him to bits.

"We had a pact - he said if the pain gets bad and if nothing can be done, don't let him linger on.

"I don't think it's a crime.

"If he was looking down on me now he would be proud."

Sarah Wootton, chief executive of Dignity in Dying, said: "This case yet again demonstrates that this is a real and present problem, which can affect us all.

"Crucially, Ray Gosling's loved one was terminally ill and clearly asked for help to die when he was suffering unbearably at the end of his life.

"This illustrates a need for formal assisted dying legislation to help those who want choice at the end of life, as well as protect people who may be vulnerable to coercion."

Assisted suicide remains a criminal offence, but interim guidelines issued in September by the director of public prosecutions set out the factors which weigh in favour of and against prosecution in different cases in England and Wales.

• The interview with Ray Gosling was broadcast on BBC One's Inside Out East Midlands programme on Monday evening.

Time to share

Mr Gosling said he smothered his former lover while he was in hospital after doctors told him that there was nothing further that could be done for him.

"I said to the doctor: 'Leave me… just for a bit,' and he went away… The doctor came back and I said: 'He's gone.' Nothing more was ever said."

"When you love someone, it is difficult to see them suffer. My feelings on euthanasia are like jelly - they wobble about.

"This is the time to share a secret I have kept for quite a long time."

He said he had a pact with the deceased man to act if the pain increased.

When asked by Inside Out presenter Marie Ashby if he had regrets, he said: "Absolutely none. He was in terrible pain - I was there and I saw it. It breaks you into pieces."

When asked by the BBC for further details about his former lover he declined to comment.

"Some know, some don't. It's best that way. Let it be," he said.

He did say he was aware of the possibility that he might be questioned by police about the issue.

Mr Gosling, a writer and broadcaster of hundreds of radio and TV documentaries, wrote a documentary about his decision to move into sheltered accommodation in the documentary Ray Gosling OAP.

The programme won the Jonathan Gill most entertaining documentary award at the Grierson 2007 awards. </p
