Chris Langham has admitted to being attracted to young women but insists that he does not lust after children.

The writer/star of �The Thick Of It� was giving evidence during his trial for underage sex and child porn charges.

When quizzed about a girl he is accused of abusing he confessed: �I have lust I suppose, because everybody does.

�If I see a woman and she is young then yes. But if you�re talking about children, then absolutely not.�

The girl, now aged 25, claims that Langham seduced her and took her virginity when she was in her early teens.

The actor denies these allegations and yesterday branded her �a sick person.� 

The trial continues.
