Zara McDermott claims Ferne McCann ‘threw a glass’ at Adam Collard as she hits back at trolls over NTA row

ZARA McDermott has claimed that Ferne McCann “threw a glass” at Adam Collard as she hit back at trolls over the NTA row.

The Sun revealed that former Towie star Ferne is being investigated over an allegation of assault after throwing a drink in Adam’s face during  a heated row at the award show on Tuesday evening.

It’s believed the row stemmed from Ferne, who has a baby with convicted acid attacker Arthur Collins, telling fellow reality stars not to mingle with Adam or his girlfriend Zara .

Zara, 22, claims she has been the victim of cruel trolls over the incident and in a series of now deleted Instagram posts she hit back.

According to the , Zara shared a screen grab of the type of nasty messages she had received and wrote: “Getting sent tweets like this.”

Making a series of claims, she added: “Imagine someone threw alcohol in your eyes…what would you do?? If you had done nothing wrong and you simply stood up for someone who was being bullied?

“All I’m saying is…if it were to be the other way round and he launched a glass at her face, it would be a completely different story, #doublestandards.

“You can’t go around launching cups at peoples heads and think it’s ok."

Police were called to the O2 Arena after mum-of-one Ferne, 28, lost her rag and chucked the whole cup at Adam.

The row then escalated as she appeared to push the plastic container towards the face of the Geordie personal trainer’s face, after a vicious war of words as they entered the NTAs after-party.

Ferne was later questioned by police, who said she was not arrested at the scene but that “enquiries continue."

The argument kicked off when Adam heard Ferne make the comments and he told her: “You’re a mum, stop bullying Zara.”

He then later called her a “pathetic little s**g” after she had hurled the drink in his face.

An eyewitness said: “It all kicked off massively outside the official after-party.

“There has been bad blood between the girls because Ferne got together with Charlie Brake just weeks after splitting with Zara’s mate Ellie Brown.

“But things really escalated last night when Adam heard Ferne slagging off Zara.

"He said some things he regrets but did not expect under any circumstances to have a drink thrown in his face then have it smashed against him.”

A police spokeswoman said: “An allegation of common assault was made to police by a man, aged in his 20s, following an incident with a woman, also aged in her 20s, at the O2 Arena on Tuesday, 22 January.

“No one was injured during the incident. There has been no arrest. Enquiries continue.”

A spokesman for Adam confirmed that he had made a formal complaint to police.
