Angry Wills then started swearing at the shocked judge during the case yesterday morning.
Wills was swiftly removed from court by security to be held in the cells, not before he tried to burst back into the court room to yell ‘I love you’ at his girlfriend.
Judge James sentenced the lout to two weeks behind bars after refusing to accept his apology.
His lawyer, James Ross, said Wills had misunderstood what had been happening in court and allowed his emotions to take over and ‘it tipped him over the edge’.
Judge James said: ‘Your conduct was wholly unjustified and completely unacceptable.’

‘Well I am the judge and I am tasked with maintaining the dignity in courts..
‘I accept your apology but I need to make it clear to you and others that such behaviour is not going to be tolerated.’
