The 25-year-old was later formally detained on suspicion of “exceeding justifiable self-defence” after plunging a knife into Oleg Smirnov.

She claimed that the man had “attempted to strangle” her during a furious booze fuelled argument and she stuck the knife in him to defend herself.

Vaori received out patient treatment for minor injuries, it was reported.

Her ex-husband required emergency surgery for a knife wound to his abdomen, it was reported.

“I was taken to accident and emergency for three hours.
