Gogglebox star George Gilbey will face trial on charges of battering his girlfriend and smashing up her home.
Gilbey is accused of rowing with his partner Gemma Conway and destroying property at her home in Twickenham, west London in March.
The Channel 4 reality personality is accused of also beating Ms Conway in the incident.
The 34-year-old pleaded not guilty to the two charges brought against him at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
