A jealous boyfriend who ended up in court for breaking his ex-girlfriend’s sex toy in a fit of rage said: “She loved it more than me”.

Rich Moore, a builder from south east London, “got the hump” with the toy after his seven year relationship with the woman ended.

In a fit of anger whilst collecting his belongings from her house, he smashed up the vibrator along with a £200 pair of her sunglasses.

He told The Sun: “I was fed up. I’ve gone to get my stuff and I came across the glasses and smashed them.

“Then I found the dildo and I just ripped it up. It was one of those bullet ones.

“She loved the dildo more than me, that’s why I got the hump with it. I bought it, it cost me £30.”

Moore’s ex, Sarah Mills, who he has a two-year-old daughter with, reported him to the police and he was charged with criminal damage.

The 33-year-old admitted to the charges at Croydon Magistrates’ court.

He said: “It’s all so petty and a waste of taxpayers’ money. It’s ridiculous if you think about it.

“I told the police I had broken the dildo and offered to pay for it to save us all going to court but they weren’t having it.

“I wanted to go to court with a T-shirt saying 'Save The Dildos' but I decided it was probably best not to.”

Moore was released on conditional bail until October 19.
