WARNIE’S ROW WITH PORN STAR

ACTRESS ACCUSES CRICKET LEGEND OF HITTING HER

- ELLEN WHINNETT

AUSSIE cricket legend Shane Warne has been accused of hitting a porn actress in the face during a row at London’s most exclusive nightclub.

Valerie Fox, 30, has accused Warne, 48, of knocking her to the dance floor during an argument at Loulou’s nightclub in London’s Mayfair early Saturday morning.

Fox has posted photos on her Twitter feed of an apparent bruise to her left eye, asking: “Proud of yourself? Hitting a woman? Vile creature.

“No, I am not lying,’’ she went on.

“Just because you’re famous doesn’t mean you can hit women and get away with it.

“Absolutely traumatise­d by tonight’s events, being a victim ... is horrible and I thank the metpolice for their help and support.’’

She also posted a photograph of a report card from Westminste­r police, confirming they had taken a complaint to investigat­e the alleged crime of assault.

She did not name Warne on Twitter, and New Scotland Yard also refused to confirm any names.

“There have been no arrests and inquiries continue,” police said.

Warne did not return calls last night.

Police are thought to be looking for CCTV footage.

Loulou’s is London’s most exclusive nightclub and is part of the private member’s club known as 5 Hertford Street.

Only members and guests can access the club, and attendees in recent years have included Prince William and his wife Catherine, Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick Jagger, Hollywood A-Listers George Clooney and Tom Cruise, and model Kate Moss.

The nightclub was hosting a “Nightfligh­t to Venus’’ event on the Friday night and Saturday morning when the alleged altercatio­n between Warne and Fox is said to have occurred.

Warne now works as a cricket commentato­r and tours the world making celebrity appearance­s and playing poker.

After splitting from his wife Simone, he was engaged for three years to the British actress Elizabeth Hurley.

Fox, a glamour model and star of multiple porn films, hit the headlines earlier this year after a boozy encounter on a flight with Nigel Farage, the married chief of the pro-Brexit, anti-immigratio­n political party Ukip.

She said she wanted to join the Mile High Club with the 52-year-old Member of the European Parliament.

He denied this and said he simply offered her a lift home after their flight from Atlanta to London.
