CAROLINE Flack’s boyfriend Lewis Burton has said he’s “gutted” that they are having to spend Christmas Day apart, insisting: “I never pressed charges.”
The 40-year-old former Love Island host pleaded not guilty to assaulting him on Monday but bail conditions mean she isn’t allowed to contact him.
Tonight, he posted a shot of her smiling while clutching two cuddly toys at a funfair.
He wrote: “Gutted I can’t spend Christmas with you, I want to repeat I never pressed charges and asked the other day for the bail conditions to be dropped but no1 listened to me.
Adding a praying-hands emoji, he added: “I want this all to be over.”
Lewis was spotted going for a jog this morning after being forced to spend the day apart.
The pair are prevented from spending Christmas together by bail conditions
Last night Caroline posted a photo of herself smiling, writing: “Been advised not to go on social media …
“But I wanted to say happy Christmas to everyone who has been so incredibly kind to me this year.
“This kind of scrutiny and speculation is a lot to take on for one person to take on their own… Im a human being at the end of the day.”
She continued:“Im not going to be silenced when I have a story to tell and a life to keep going with …. Im taking some time out to get feeling better and learn some lessons from situations Ive got myself into to.”
On Monday a judge refused to lift a bail condition banning her and Lewis from contacting each other as Caroline, 40,wept in court.
She was accused of assaulting the 27-year-old in his sleep after finding texts from a woman on his phone.
After her court appearance, he shared a loved-up image of the couple on Instagram, saying a bail condition banning them from seeing each other was “heartbreaking”.
He wrote: “It’s heartbreaking I can’t see my girlfriend over Christmas. What I witnessed today was horrible. She did not hit me with a lamp.
“Arguments do happen every day in a every relationships. Gutted I am not allowed to protect her right now.”
