Gemma’s ex is jailed for breaking his lover’s arm

- BY ROBIN EVELEIGH

DANCING on Ice star Gemma Collins’ ex-boyfriend has been jailed for breaking his partner’s arm and threatenin­g to kill her in a savage beating.

Convicted drug dealer Alexander Moss’s victim had to jump from a window to escape the attack, which also left her with a bloody nose and bruises.

Moss, 38 – once quizzed by police over claims he assaulted

Gemma – admitted GBH and got 21 months.

Gemma, 37, first met him in her early 20s after asking a pal to find her “a geezer – a bit of gangster but with a big heart”.

After finding fame on The

Only Way is Essex, she described him as “naughty and dangerous” and “a ducker and diver”.

Moss was locked up in 2012 for his role in a drugs conspiracy. He got five and a half years but the pair got together again when he came out on licence. But in November 2014 he allegedly kicked her, spat food in her face and smashed up her flat.

Gemma called police and Moss later handed himself in.

The next night she flew to Australia to appear in I’m A Celebrity but broke down and left the jungle after just 72 hours . Charges against Moss, of Chelmsford, Essex, were dropped. But he was sent back to jail for breaching release conditions.

Last week Chelmsford Crown Court heard Moss told his new girlfriend he would “f*** her up” after an argument spiralled out of control.

The next day a row broke out over a mobile phone and Moss kicked her as she dialled 999. He denied stamping on or kicking her.

But on Friday Judge Christophe­r Morgan jailed him for the attack last October.
