Australian cricket legend Shane Warne hit a porn star in the face during a row inside a lavish London nightclub, it has been claimed.

Valerie Fox tweeted photos showing the bruises and injuries she allegedly sustained at the hands of Warne during the attack at Loulou's, a lavish bar in Mayfair, this week.

After complaining to police, the 30-year-old glamour model shared shocking images of her alleged injuries, posting: 'Proud of yourself? Hitting a woman? Vile creature.'

Witnesses inside the nightclub told The Sun they saw Warne arguing with Ms Fox on Friday night, before she fell to the floor holding her face.

Ms Fox also shared a photo of a Metropolitan Police incident card to Twitter that showed she'd presented to Westminster police station and read: 'The crime we will investigate is assault'

Police are understood to be investigating the incident and whether CCTV cameras in Loulou's captured footage of the alleged assault.

Ms Fox tweeted yesterday: 'And no, I'm not lying. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you can hit women and get away with it.'

She also shared a photo of a Metropolitan Police incident card showed she'd visited Westminster police station and saying: 'The crime we will investigate is assault.'

In a statement, Metropolitan Police said: 'Detectives are investigating an allegation of assault alleged to have taken place in a nightclub on Hertford Street in Westminster in the early hours of Saturday.'

'There have been no arrests and inquiries continue.'

Warne said: 'I was shocked to read the media stories circulating concerning a false allegation of assault.

'I have fully co-operated with the police, and they have now had the opportunity of seeing CCTV and speaking to witnesses.

'The Police have confirmed to me that I have been cleared of the allegation and that no further action will be taken. This is now the end of the matter. Thanks for all the kind messages of support'

Since retiring from the game in 2007 the legendary Australian bowler has split much of his time living in both his home country and the UK.

Warne, who was previously engaged to actress Liz Hurley, works as a member of the Sky Sports commentary team in the UK and as a pundit for Channel Nine in Australia.

The 48-year-old father-of-three split from wife Simone Callahan in 2005, before they reconciled in 2007 only to split again.

He was most recently linked to 32-year-old Australian bikini model Emily Sears.

Ms Fox was also at the centre of a scandal with politician Nigel Farage earlier in 2017 after the pair reportedly kissed and groped each other while on a transatlantic flight.
