Charlotte Crosby insists she ‘didn’t punch’ boyfriend Joshua Ritchie as she breaks her silence over explosive row

CHARLOTTE Crosby has broken her silence and denied claims she punched her boyfriend Joshua Ritchie during an explosive row in St Lucia.

The couple were filmed arguing outside of a nightclub on the Caribbean Island yesterday.

Josh’s fans claimed she hit him in the face during the altercation but Charlotte, 28, insisted she’d never laid a finger on him.

Replying to a fan on Instagram who asked: “How come you punched Josh's face,” Charlotte wrote: “I pushed Josh's arm away from me and flung a plastic cup at his feet.

“We had an argument which isn't really the strangest thing to happen in the world is it?”

She added “Not once did I punch/hit or hurt him or his face. He was trying to calm me down and I was pushing him away.”

Josh also seemed keen to clear up any confusion and said that Charlotte was being “emotional” during their evening out.

He commented: “I think people should stop sticking their noses in, that's annoying anyway never mind making up things that didn't happen...

“Charlotte did not hit me, hurt me or punch me anywhere never mind the face.”

Josh then jokingly added: “I'm going out with Charlotte Crosby not Anthony f**king Joshua.

“I tried to calm Charlotte down after she got slightly emotional on a night out and she just tried to push me away.”

The video showed former Geordie Shore star Charlotte screaming “f*** you” at Josh.

An eyewitness told : “She chucked her drink at a man in a white T-shirt and stormed out.

“I heard someone say 'we have to get her out of here' presumably because she was too drunk.

“I believe they must have gone home after that.”
