He'd been accused of putting his hand on a man's hip to avoid spilling a drink in a crowded bar.

Speaking to the media, he said he felt "very good" and that he was "very happy to be home".

Mr Harron was asked what he would do first when he got home.

He replied: "Get in a good bed, it's been a total shambles. It's just total shock I feel.

"I get to sleep in my own bed because I've been sleeping on my mate's couch for three and half months. I can't believe it's been four months in total."
