GOGGLEBOX star George Gilbey has been found guilty of assaulting his ex girlfriend and causing damage to her flat in an alleged drunken rage.
Gilbey admitted drinking five small glasses of wine, ‘two or three’ double vodka and lemonades and a shot of jagermeister before the alleged attack.
He denied but was convicted of throwing household objects such as a baby gate and a television at Gemma Conway in March this year.
Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court heard he has five previous convictions, four for driving offences, and one for criminal damage in 2011.
Chair of the bench Nicholas Bennett said: “Mr Gilbey was unable to explain why the flat had been wrecked and why Miss Conway received her injuries. We do not find his account credible.
“We find Miss Conway was subject to a sustained attack by Mr Gilbey, who also caused criminal damage to her flat.”
Gilbey was bailed and will next appear for sentencing next month.
