Prosecutors have revealed the extent of the injuries James Argent’s former girlfriend, model Nicoline Artursson, sustained following an incident between the pair earlier this month.
The former TOWIE star, 37, pushed the former Miss Sweden, 32, during an argument at her apartment in Costa del Sol last Monday while trying to force her out of the front door, The Sun reported.
The ITV personality was arrested for domestic violence, given a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order.
Court documents seen by Metro.co.uk ahead of a trial where Argent admitted to a domestic violence charge detail multiple injuries to Artursson’s neck, arms, hand, and leg.
The indictment read: “The injured woman suffered several bruises to her neck, a bruise to her right forearm, several abrasions to her right arm, and abrasions to her right hand and on her right leg.”
Confirming she received medical assistance, the prosecutor added: “The injuries she suffered healed in seven days on skin and soft tissue.”
It has also been revealed that public prosecutors had initially sought a nine-month prison sentence for Argent on the charge of wounding, before he reached a plea deal after admitting to the lesser charge of “mistreatment.”
The ITV star was also facing demands to make Artursson a three-figure compensation payout.
Argent was arrested shortly after the incident at a beach-front property on May 5 and kept in a cell for several hours.
He admitted a domestic violence charge when he was brought before a judge at Fuengirola’s Court of Violence Against Women. He was also told to complete a “resocialisation course in the field of gender violence”.
Despite reports that Argent had flown back to Essex, he is scheduled to sing at Olivia’s La Cala in Costa del Sol on May 22.
The reality star turned singer regularly performs at the restaurant, which is owned by his former TOWIE co-star, Elliott Wright.
The event is described as being an “incredible evening of live music, vibrant energy, and unforgettable performances with James Argent”.
He is also booked to perform on May 29, as well as several dates in June, July, and August.
Sources have claimed Artursson was "in total shock" following the incident, having believed the couple were moving towards starting a family.
Speaking out after the incident, Argent said he is still sober and “devastated” by the events.
“I haven’t relapsed. I am still three years and four months clean and sober. I am devastated by what’s happened,” he told MailOnline.
A friend previously told The Sun that Argent is “extremely sorry”, adding: “He said he had a row with Nicoline and that he tried to end the argument. James said he pushed Nicoline and that she fell.
“He is remorseful about what happened but is insisting he never meant any harm.”
Argent confirmed his relationship with Artursson last September, with the pair taking part in an OK! magazine joint interview a month later.
