Reality TV star Paddy Doherty is facing up to three years jail over a bare-knuckle brawl which police linked to an underworld shooting.

The 52-year old Celebrity Big Brother winner was left bloodied and bruised with part of his ear bitten and hanging off after he took on his cousins Johnny and Dougie Joyce in a street fight outside a PC World store in Manchester.

The brawl was filmed on a mobile phone and uploaded to YouTube and a witness was overheard baying for blood shouting: 'Come you dirty Doherty b******, give it to him Johnny, give to the dirty tramp, floor the dirty tramp.'

During the video a blood-spattered Doherty - who also featured in Channel 4 show My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding - was seen perched on his toes like a boxer, grunting 'like a bull' and holding his fists up to protect himself as he landed in a heap with Johnny Joyce.

Doherty admitted affray after the brawl and had been expected to give evidence against his cousin Johnny, who was accused of causing him grievous bodily harm.

The GBH charges against Johnny Joyce, 21, were dropped. Instead, he and his 23-year-old brother Dougie - who filmed the violence on a mobile phone - and Doherty were all charged with affray.

Doherty, who has also appeared on Britain’s Deadliest Men, pleaded guilty to the charge at Manchester Crown Court last week.

All three men will be sentenced in the new year and were remanded on bail for reports.

Yesterday's hearing comes as Doherty is due to star in 'When Paddy Met Sally' a life swap show on Channel 5 with Sally Bercow, the wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons.

Filming began in North Wales last month and in the programme viewers will see Mrs Bercow move into a mobile home with Doherty for two weeks and experience the life of a traveller.

In the second week of the challenge, Mrs Bercow was able to set rules and challenges for Doherty including a cleaning rota and the task of cooking a meal for his family.

Doherty's fight in a car park outside PC World was the latest round of a bloody feud between him and the Joyce brothers which was sparked by a row at a family funeral.
