BB's Anthony beaten in city nightclub

Nicola Dowling

BIG Brother winner Anthony Hutton was taken to hospital after he was beaten up at a Manchester nightspot.

Anthony, 24, was on a night out at the trendy Baby Grand in Peter Street when he was in a fight in the early hours yesterday.

It is understood that a brawl broke out after a man accused the reality television star of looking at his girlfriend.

Anthony was taken by paramedics to Manchester Royal Infirmary with cuts and bruises at around 4.15am. A police spokesman said officers had arrested a man on suspicion of assault. The man has since been released on bail pending further inquiries.

Dancer

Anthony, from Consett in Co Durham, worked as a 70s-style dancer in a nightclub before he entered the Big Brother House.

He won £50,000 after coming out top in the Channel 4 show last summer. During his time in the house he became famous for making references to his love of the ladies and lack of domestic skills.

His friendship with clingy hairdresser Craig Coates and brief liaison with Zimbabwe-born Makosi Musambasi helped generate votes which kept him in while others were being voted out.

He recently released a keep fit DVD and finished a season in pantomime in Darlington.
