Apprentice star Leah assaulted at an Irish wedding
Skin clinic boss ‘sore & shocked’ after Irish bash
APPRENTICE winner Leah Totton is recovering after a shocking assault at a wedding on Saturday.
Gardai were called to the Co Cavan venue following reports of an attack on a 30-year-old woman.
The young doctor from Derry has since been treated for injuries and shock.
A man believed to be well known to Leah was removed from the scene by officers.
A source close to the doctor and businesswoman said: “Leah is in a state of shock and recovering from her injuries.”
She had been attending the five-star Saturday wedding with her fiance.
The successful entrepreneur spent Christmas Day with loved ones nursing bruises following an alleged incident. The source added: “Poor Leah was assaulted and injured and left sore and very, very shocked.
“It was horrendous for poor Leah who conducted herself with dignity throughout the whole situation and it
was dreadful for the newly-married couple to have had anything like that happen on their wedding day.”
Leah announced her engagement in early October with a picture of her stunning diamond engagement ring on Twitter. She said: “I am genuinely delighted to share the news that I am engaged! My fiance is the most amazing man on the planet, I am beyond grateful to have him in my life and so excited to become his wife!”
Leah used her investment award from Lord Sugar’s The Apprentice TV show to open a string of cosmetic surgery clinics.
She split from her Apprentice co-star Mark Wright in 2016. And just last week she revealed big plans for her already burgeoning company.
A source said: “Leah is a fantastic young woman, a true friend, a talented and compassionate professional and a brilliant example to other women.
“No woman should ever experience what she did on Saturday but she’ll come through this. We feel very proud of her and support her fully.”
A spokesperson for Leah said: “We have no comment to make at this time.”
