The ex-boyfriend of jailed Jordan Worth has bravely spoken out about the years of mental and physical abuse he suffered at her hands.

Alex Skeel has waived his right to anonymity to reveal how 22-year-old Worth, who wanted to be a teacher, made his life a misery during their six-year relationship.

He said that Worth stabbed him, attacked him with boiling water and banned him from contacting his family and friends.

Worth was jailed for seven and a half years at Luton Crown Court earlier this week after she admitted controlling or coercive behaviour in an intimate relationship, wounding with intent and causing grievous bodily harm with intent.




Mr Skeel, 22, told Mail Online: ‘I thought my limbs might have to be amputated. I had open burns. I lost three stones in weight. I went from 10 stones down to seven. It was awful. It was three years of mental abuse and then it turned physical.’

The couple met at drama college in Bedford and went on to live together in the nearby village of Stewartby.

Mr Skeel said Worth was mentally abusive for about three to four years – before she turned violent for the final nine months of their relationship.

He admitted that he believed her when she said the abuse was normal as he was ‘wooed’ by her.

Isolated from his family by her demands, Mr Skeel said his parents suspected he was being mentally abused, but did not know about the physical violence.

Explaining how the violence began, he said: ‘I started off with little things with her just hitting me, and punching me and then I got to her having a bottle in her hand.

‘And every time I removed a weapon, she will go onto the next one and it led to being hit with hammers, getting stabbed with knives and having boiling water thrown over me.’

Last June, neighbours called emergency services to their home – and paramedics noted Mr Skeel had burns to his arms and legs that were being self-treated with cling film.

He was taken to Addenbrookes Hospital, where he said a doctor suspected what was going on and asked if it was safe for him to return home, and alerted the police.

Mr Skeel admitted he was ‘scared of the consequences of going against the person that was abusing me’.

Despite her arrest and subsequent sentence, Worth is reportedly in a new relationship with James Clarke and was living in Ingoldisthorpe, Norfolk.

The shocking extent of her abuse became apparent during a court hearing on Monday.

Worth banned him from their bed, the court heard, took control of his Facebook page, told him what clothes to wear and refused to help him get medical treatment after injuring him.

Alongside her prison sentence, Worth was handed a restraining order preventing her from contacting Mr Skeel for an indefinite period.
