The Mirror reports that Bez, who somehow won Celebrity Big Brother winner, put his hands around Monica Ward’s neck and squeezed in front of son two-year-old son Leo after he accused her of stealing from the child’s trust fund, a court heard.

He then legged it and kicked the ?250,000 flat’s door off its hinges in Whalley Range, Manchester. Mancunians will no doubt be puzzling at the prospect of any flat in Whalley Range being valued at that price.
He will be sentenced on August 25 but will appeal.
