Well, we weren’t expecting this one. Chris Tarrant was arrested yesterday on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend Jane Bird – but she later withdrew her complaint. According to sources close to the couple, who have been together for nearly three years, a drunken row got out of hand and Jane called the police, who arrested the 62 year old Who Wants To Be A Millionaire presenter and took him to Staines police station, where he spent the night. “There was a lot of pushing and shoving, a lot of shuffling if you like,” says a source. “They were both pissed as farts. Very tanked-up – both in a poor state. They had a bust-up. There was no hitting or anything like that. Chris was screaming at her “Bugger off and get out of my house”. Chris was trying to physically push her out of the door. Remember she’s a lot smaller than him so it was probably quite intimidating. She said to the police that it was all a big mistake. She clearly felt remorse over what happened. It was a typically silly pissed argument about nothing.” A police spokesman added, “We can confirm a man in his early 60s was arrested in the early hours following a domestic dispute on suspicion of common assault. He was later released without charge.” Blimey, aren’t they a bit old for this sort of nonsense?!
