The Welsh singer, 35, was refused bail today as he was charged with six child sex offences - including conspiring with a female fan, 24, to rape a one-year-old girl.
The singer and two women, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are also accused of conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a girl under 13.
Watkins - a former boyfriend of TV presenter Fearne Cotton - was further charged with three separate charges of possession, making and distributing indecent images of children.
He is also accused of possession of extreme *advertiser censored*, some involving animals.
The court heard 40 images of children and child abuse were being investigated as part of the South Wales police probe.............
Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Peter Doyle said specially-trained staff were available to speak to anyone with concerns or information regarding this investigation.
He said: I want to encourage anyone who has any concerns or information which they think may be relevant to contact us.
Safeguarding children involved in such cases is always a high priority and as such measures have already been taken.
