Sarah Harding On Fight With Ex: "He Got Me By The Throat"
Sarah Harding has broken her silence regarding the New Year's Eve fight she had with her Dutch lover, insisting it was him who attacked her.
Earlier this week, Theo De Vries gave his version of events to The Sun, telling the tabloid that the Girls Aloud star bit his leg, threw an ashtray at him and struck him in the face, leaving him with a bloody nose.
With both Theo and Sarah now apparently facing trial for assault, the black and blue 30-year old has responded to De Vries comments, recalling what happened that night at their four-star hotel in Innsbruck, Austria.
The pair, who met in rehab, were supposed to be having a 'healthy' skiing holiday when the incident occurred - with an emotional Sarah revealing to The Sun: "I have a black eye and bruising. He had me by the neck, on the floor, and I kicked him to get him off me.
"He grabbed me by my hair throwing my head on the floor. We were struggling. While he had me by the hair, he was pulling me across the floor. He was dragging me around. He was smacking my head on the floor. He bit my ear. And when I kicked him to try and get him off me, I got his nose and he was bleeding. He smeared the blood all over my face so it was all over my clothes."
Covered in bruises, Sarah exclaimed: "Look at me, look what he has done to me. That doesn't come from just holding me back. I've got bruises on my bum. Bruises on my legs. The damage to my arm is probably the worst. This is where they bandaged me in hospital as they thought I might have fractured it."
Despite her desire to have a relaxing NY break, Harding told the newspaper that things soon turned nasty between herself and Theo - who has previously received treatment for booze and crack cocaine addiction.
Speaking of their argument, Sarah said: "During the row he said, 'You're nothing but a B-class singer. You are just a f****** alcoholic. You have got no friends.'
"He was really, really horrible. Any insecurities I had, he used them against me. He was goading me. The abuse carried on and on and on till I'd had enough. He got so horrible I threw a coffee cup at him. It missed.
"It was probably coming up to midnight. I'm not going to lie, I had a gin and tonic at the airport, but I was sober at this point. I wasn't drunk at all. He didn't seem drunk but he just completely changed character."
When asked about her budding romance with the 35-year old sunglasses salesman, Harding admitted that she was 'on the rebound' after splitting from her boyfriend, DJ Tom Crane in September 2011.
Sarah explained: "We met in rehab and I was at a real low in my life. We got on really well and he was a completely different person when we were in rehab. We just decided to give it a go.
"When we came back to London, things just didn't seem to be the same. It didn't work. I think he knew I missed Tom, because I do desperately.
"I think in a way I was on a rebound. I think that p***** him off. I called him Tom a few times by mistake. He hated that. Probably when we were rowing probably because I used to shout at Tom.
"Now I think he's full of s***. Reading what he said in The Sun, I thought, 'Oh my God'. I never threw an ashtray at him. I threw a mug at him, because he was goading me. He was being so foul to me."
