Stephen Kish, who hosted the CBBC show Officially Amazing, had also been running a dog walking and boarding business called Tails of Love. Police found three grossly offensive moving images on his phone and three more still images on his computer showing a person having sex with an animal when they searched his home in September 2018. Officers took the family dog Molly after searching Kish's phone and computers. At Lewes Crown Court in Brighton this week, the 32-year-old was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for two years after admitting one count of possessing extreme animal porn. His Honour Judge David Rennie told Kish he had, 'betrayed his viewers.' Judge Rennie told the ex-presenter: 'It is not only the law, there is always the potential for animals to be injured by what is done to them or what they are made to do. 'It seems clear to me your thinking and aspects of behaviour are disordered,' the judge said. 'You used to have your own slot on TV and yours was a familiar face on CBBC for a number of years. The court heard Kish will never be employed as a dog walker or TV host again As a CBBC host he was known Sizzlin' Steve on the show Officially Amazing, which follows people trying to break world records The court heard that many viewers will feel 'betrayed' by Kish's conduct and that he is now unemployable 'This has been taken away from you and you may never get it back. 'What a dramatic and, I have to say, self inflicted downfall. 'There will be many people who enjoyed watching your programme and enjoyed your work and will feel betrayed.' Kish sobbed in the dock before admitting to having animal porn at an earlier hearing and at his sentencing only spoke to confirm his name and that he understood his sentence. As a CBBC host he was known Sizzlin' Steve on the show Officially Amazing, which follows people trying to break world records. Amanda Hamilton for the prosecution told Kish had been running a dog walking and boarding business called Tails of Love. Kish had been running a dog walking and boarding business called Tails of Love She told the court that chats Kish was in over the years referenced wanting to 'bury' certain videos and one referenced his own dog Molly. She said: 'In a 2012 MSN chat he expressed to another user he was keen to bury certain videos so they wouldn't get discovered.' The former TV host was also interviewed twice by investigators from Sussex Police. According to the prosecution he was 'extremely candid to his preferences' and answered all questions and the first interview. He gave no comment at at second interview. Richard Barton for the defence said: 'It is a very significant fall from grace for this man. Clearly he will never be employed in his previous capacity on television. 'He will never again be employed as a dog walker.' Kish, who lives at home with his parents, is waiting for an assessment of a diagnosis of autism, the court also heard. He will be required to attend a sex offenders programme and complete 20 rehabilitation days with another 200 hours of unpaid work in the community. 'If you commit any offence in the next two years, you will be sending yourself straight to prison,' Judge Rennie told Kish. He will be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for the next five years. The charge states he possessed extreme pornographic image, which portrayed in an explicit and realistic way, a person performing an act of intercourse or oral sex with an animal.
