Prosecutor Aimee Emby said: ‘There was an argument, on a date which the complainant is not sure.
‘The defendant, upon being told the relationship was over, kicked her out of the bed. No injuries were sustained.’
On January 12 this year Comiskey grabbed Ms Van De Vusse to stop her going into the kitchen as another row flared.
‘The defendant took hold of the complainant by her arms and squeezed them tightly, stopping her getting into the kitchen.
‘He then threw some food at her. Some of the food struck her on the back.’ said Ms Emby.
The police were called and Comiskey was arrested. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to deny two counts of assault by beating.
