KRIS Smith has revealed he was once a victim of domestic violence.

The model has told campmates on I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! he was engaged to the kickboxer female and that the pair broke up when she punched him.

“She busted my nose. She busted my lip,” Smith said of the woman, who he met when they worked together.

“She could throw a punch as well. I went to walk off and she booted me right up the arse and I turned around and she punched me again.”

He said the altercation started over him being on the phone organising a surprise dinner.

“It came from nowhere,” he explained when asked why she punched him. “There was never any jealous things like this before and I was organising a nice dinner for her.”
