DJ Dr Fox has been found not guilty of a string of indecent assaults of women and girls.
The 54-year-old wept in the dock of Westminster Magistrates Court as the chairman of the bench cleared him of all the charges.
Neil Fox, who made his name on Capital Radio in the 80s and 90s, was accused of forcibly kissing two girls at roadshow events and molesting a 15-year-old fan in the station's record library.
He was also accused of sexually harassing a colleague in 2003 by grabbing her breasts, bending her over a desk to simulate sex, and making a string of lewd comments.
Two other women claimed Fox sexually assaulted them after he switched to Magic FM, dry-humping one on a sofa in 2007 and kissing another on the neck last year.
But the DJ was today cleared of all 10 charges following a trial.
Fox found TV fame when he appeared as a judge on ITV talent show Pop Idol alongside Simon Cowell between 2001 and 2003, helping to launch the careers of Will Young and Gareth Gates.
He started his career on Radio Wyvern, covering Hereford and Worcester, on a show called Mellow Yellow in 1984, before a short stint on Radio Luxembourg in 1986.
In 1987 he switched to Capital Radio and adopted his 'Dr Fox' moniker when presenting the Midnight Surgery.
He switched to Magic fm in 2005, and has garnered ten Sony awards, Smash Hits Poll Winners Party awards and a Gold lifetime achievement award in 2009.
Giving evidence, he had told the court he led a culture of 'banter' at Capital to ensure that his radio shows were always fun and 'high-energy'.
He said this involved employees 'squeezing' each other, piggy back rides, and doing obstacles courses around the studio.
'People waking up sleepy don't want to hear me being sleepy', he said of his breakfast show. 'You turn the music up loud, dance around the studio, do an obstacle course, run up and down the corridor, doing piggy back rides.
'There was non-stop banter. It was normal office banter, some saucy, cheeky, slightly over the top, some boring and mundane, like did your Ocado arrive last night.
Fox, of Fulham, west London, has been supported throughout his trial by his wife Vicky, a shoe designer who once worked with Jimmy Choo but who retrained as a yoga instructor.
Fox has always insisted he is innocent and said there was a culture of 'banter' at Capital Radio
