An evil girlfriend who starved her former partner, scalded him with boiling water and stabbed him is now engaged to a new man after serving only part of her seven-year prison sentence.
Jordan Worth, 26, was jailed five years ago after subjecting Alex Skeel to a campaign of torrid physical and mental abuse including attacking him with ‘weapons’ including a hammer, a screwdriver, bread knives and a broken hairbrush.
She also broke his phone to ensure he was unable to contact his family and friends, having already used his Facebook account to send them abusive messages.
Alex, a father-of-two, bravely recalled his nine months of torment in the BBC show Abused By My Girlfriend, describing life living with Worth in the village of Stewartby, Bedfordshire.
Worth, an aspiring teacher, had a degree from the University of Hertfordshire, had come from a loving and supportive family and had raised money for children in Africa.

Worth has now been released from prison seven and a half year prison sentence, having only served part of the jail term behind bars, and is now engaged to 28-year-old bricklayer Adam Steff
But a court would later hear how she cruelly controlled every aspect of her partner’s life.
She was jailed in April 2018 after a police officer was finally able to get Alex to admit the truth about the abuse he was suffering.
He had previously told neighbours that injuries including open and infected wounds had been self-inflicted, while Alex also lost almost four stone after being deprived of food.
But Worth has now been released from prison following a seven and a half year sentence, having only served part of the jail term behind bars.
She is now engaged to 28-year-old bricklayer Adam Steff, The Sun reports.
Friends are said to have warned him about dating the convicted domestic abuser.
One pal, who sent him a link to the BBC documentary featuring Alex, warned him not to date ‘the psychopath’.
However, Mr Steff has been ignoring the pleas and recently posted a picture online of himself with Worth while enjoying a stroll along a beach.
It comes after bodycam footage from a police visit on June 3, 2017, showed officers entering the Worth and Alex’s home to find the bathroom spattered in blood and the latter, who was bleeding from the wrists, bandaged using a football sock.

Initially, Alex blamed himself for his injuries in a bid to protect his partner and Jordan was not arrested until a subsequent police visit several weeks later.
But Worth later became the first female in the UK to be convicted of controlling or coercive behaviour and was jailed for more than seven years.
Alex was alarmingly thin and in poor health by the time of Jordan’s arrest, after his untreated burns became infected and he developed hydrocephalus, a build-up of fluid on the brain, caused by major head trauma.
He was a football-mad 16-year-old when he first met Jordan at a college concert in June 2012 and soon became besotted with her.
But her behaviour soon took a dark turn and Alex initially tried to break things off until Worth revealed she was pregnant and returned to his life a year later in May 2014 with a baby.
Alex was subsequently left having to choose between his girlfriend and his family and the young couple moved into their own home in Stewartby, Bedfordshire in July 2016.
Just 19 at the time, Alex didn’t speak to his parents for two years – even when the couple welcomed their second child, a little girl called Iris, in May 2017.
In time, Jordan became so controlling she took Alex’s wallet away, forcing him to quit the job he loved and instead accompany her to classes at the University of Hertfordshire where she could keep a watchful eye on him.

During one attack, Worth severed the tendons in his right hand with a bread knife, on another occasion she attacked him with a broken hairbrush, breaking his tooth in the process.
A kettle full of boiling water also became Worth’s weapon of choice, leaving her boyfriend screaming in pain as the skin hung off his arms and back.
A few days after one such attack, Jordan slashed her boyfriend’s hand with a breadknife and police were called, not for the first time, by their worried neighbours who heard Alex shouting, ‘Leave me alone, stop hurting me’.
Officers took Alex to hospital, but he was walked out by Worth.
A few days later, though, police were again called to the property and officers took the opportunity to take action.
Despite his protests, Sergeant Ed Finn was able to persuade Alex to tell the reveal what was really going on – and finally arrest Jordan on suspicion of assault and grievous bodily harm (GBH).
When they managed to get Alex to hospital, doctors said he was just ‘ten days from death’ in his physical state, by which point his burns had become infected.
Alex returned home to his family where he was reunited with his children and, in September 2017, Jordan was charged with 17 counts including wounding with intent, causing grievous bodily harm with intent, and controlling or coercive behaviour in an intimate relationship.
On 13 April 2018 Jordan was given two seven-year sentences for wounding with intent and GBH to be served concurrently at Luton Crown Court.
She was also handed a consecutive sentence of six months for controlling or coercive behaviour, becoming the first female in the UK to be convicted of this charge.
