The ex-boyfriend of Calendar Girls star Jennifer Ellison who took part in a vicious gangland sword attack on a boxer has been jailed.

Anthony Richardson, 32, was caught on camera battering Lee Siner with a car crook lock after chasing him up the stairs and throwing a chair at him.

The two other attackers then hacked at the victim cutting his upper arms and legs in a fearsome revenge attack.

Mr Siner, 27, had been dining in the Mediterranean restaurant Kimos, near Toxteth, Liverpool, when he was ambushed by three masked men armed with a samurai sword and baseball bat.

Richardson, who has had a string of celebrity girlfriends, was jailed for eight-and-a-half years yesterday for the attack carried out last October.

He dated Steven Gerrard's wife Alex Curran until 2002 before dating Jennifer Ellison and later Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton.

Miss Ellison revealed Richardson was abusive and used to beat her in an interview in 2008. She is now married to rugby player Robbie Tickle and they have a 22-month old son, Bobby.
