Ground Force presenter Tommy Walsh said yesterday he was “satisfied” after a woman who viciously slashed his ­daughter’s throat was told she will go to prison.

The celebrity builder spoke out after mother of two Leanne Bloomfield, 28, was convicted of wounding Natalie Walsh, 22, with a shard of glass at a trendy club in London’s West End.

Tommy, who was in court with his wife Marie and son Jon Jo, said: “Pleased isn’t the right word. Satisfied. Justice has been seen to be done. You should think about your behaviour.”

Bloomfield slashed Natalie from her neck to her chin before yanking her hair and kicking her at the Cafe de Paris, Southwark crown court heard.

Medical student Natalie needed surgery on her neck and thumb. She was so ­traumatised she missed important exams and needed counselling.

Bloomfield, from Colchester, Essex, had texted a friend after the attack last February that she had a “massive punch up with some girl”.

She was caught after her bank card fell into Natalie’s handbag.

Judge Mr Recorder Peter Susman QC granted Bloomfield bail until February 7. He told her: “Make arrangements for your children on the basis that you will be going to prison.”

Tommy, who starred in BBC’s Ground Force with Alan Titchmarsh, said Natalie had been ­“traumatised” but battled back to get a first class degree.

She was not at court yesterday and her dad said: “She hasn’t been out with her friends since. Surgery and the recovery took three months, but the psychological scars are different.”
