In a statement, Mr Camp said: “Although we’ve had a volatile relationsh­ip, I really did not expect her to be so vicious.”

Biscoe, who now lives in Ilminster, pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm. She was given a fourmonth prison sentence suspended for 12 months. She was also given a concurrent two-month suspended sentence for breaching a conditiona­l discharge from a previous assault conviction.
