Jennifer Ellison has revealed she repeatedly lied to cover up her cheating boyfriend�s violent attacks on her.
The TV star dumped Tony Richardson after his affair with John Terry�s ex-girlfriend was revealed in the press last week, and now Ellison has lifted the lid on his dark side.
Former soap star Jennifer tells how Richardson slammed her on the floor of a hotel room following an argument and broke her collarbone � although she covered up the injury by claiming she had fallen off a dancing pole.
Ellison lied again when Richardson smashed a beer bottle over her head after they argued in a nightclub, leaving her with a deep gash.
She tells the News Of The World, �The next thing I knew I felt this crash on the back of my head and went all dizzy. He had smashed me with a beer bottle and all my friends saw it. They just went, �Oh no�.
"When I put my hand up to my head I felt all this blood coming out. My face, eyes, hair and mini dress were covered in blood.
"I was told Tony ran out of the club and was chased by the bouncers but managed to hop into a taxi.
"I felt sick and think I was concussed. The worst bit was when doctors were trying to get all the glass splinters out. It hurt like hell."
Jennifer now says that although she still loves Richardson she is determined to make their split permanent, and is relocating to America to act as a judge on a new TV dancing show.
