Dogwalker assaulted

*and not yet in school A WOMAN has been viciously assaulted while walking her dog.

The woman, 51, was in Cathkin Braes Country Park, Glasgow, when her pet was set upon by another dog on September 20.

After an exchange of words with two male dog-walkers, both parties went their separate ways.

She was then followed by a man, punched in the face and kicked to the ground.

Police appealed for witnesses. SULTRY Latina star Sofia Vergara has revealed she resisted dating her husband at first – because he was too hot.

In her 40s and a mum to a grown-up son, the Modern Family star reckoned dating muscle-bound hunk Joe Manganiell­o would be too much work, especially as he drove women wild as a stripper in Magic Mike.

That’s despite being a pin-up herself and the world’s highest-paid TV actress.

Sofia, 45, who married Joe two years ago next month, said: “I didn’t want to go with him at first. I was like, ‘I don’t want to deal with that. I’m too old now to be dealing with a guy that all the girls are after. You’re too hot. This is going to be so much work’.

“I am not kidding. I didn’t want to go with him because of how hot he was.”

Now she’s glad she put in the work and the pair are blissfully happy.

Sofia, who got hitched to Joe, 40, in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2015, reckons the secret to a good marriage is “physical work”.

She said: “It shouldn’t be work – a lot of work. Physical work, yes, but psychologi­cal work, it shouldn’t be.

“I sometimes make Joe eggs in the morning. He also makes them really good when he does breakfast.

“The good thing now is that I have money and I can get someone to cook for me. Before, it was all avocado toast and things I could do fast.”

Her fiery Latino spirit – often seen in Modern Family, which is back for a new series on Sky1 – is more than a match for Joe’s Italian roots.

Joe, who also played a werewolf in True Blood, has helped Sofia through a long-running frozen embryo legal battle involving her ex-fiancé Nicholas M Loeb, who she split from in 2014, after he tried to take control of two embryos they had together.

Sofia, who has a 25-year-old son Manolo from her first marriage, said of Joe: “He is Italian so gets me completely and I get him. He is loud like me. He is very passionate, like me. We are so happy we found each other.”

Sofia was discovered by a photograph­er on a Colombian beach and starred in a Latin American Pepsi commercial when she was 17.

She moved to Miami, Florida, after her older brother Rafael was murdered in 1998 during a botched kidnap. She then studied acting and
