Playboy model in toilet assault

A former Playboy Model of the Year walked free from court yesterday after being given a 30-week suspended jail sentence for attacking a woman in a nightclub toilet cubicle.

Louise Glover, 27, struck Maxine Hardcastle's head against a toilet rim up to 10 times and tried to push her head down the loo in Brighton.

She was found guilty of assault occasioning actual bodily harm following a trial at Hove Crown Court in December last year.

Hardcastle - the daughter of 1980s musician Paul Hardcastle - was left covered in blood and suffered hair loss, facial bruising and scratches to her arms and legs in what Judge Charles Kemp described as a"vicious and unprovoked attack".

Glover accused Hardcastle of looking at her husband, from whom she is now estranged.
