A Come Dine With Me winner was back in court after she admitted threatening to punch her ex-partner with a knife.
Lucy Haughey phoned her then-boyfriend after he left her house during an argument and made the threat in a voice message on November 16, last year.
During the message she demanded he return her mobile phone and told him she would phone the police and an ambulance because she was going to “punch him with a knife”.
The 38-year-old pled guilty last month to a charge under the communications act, when she appeared from custody at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

Today, Sheriff Stuart Reid admonished Haughey - who is already subject to a community payback order after she admitting having sex with a 15-year-old boy.
The court heard Haughey from Glasgow’s south side was in her house with the man as she made dinner and an argument broke out.
After the man left, Haughey phoned him and continued to ask for her phone and said “If you don’t give me my f****** phone back I will call the f****** police and an ambulance because I’m going to punch you with a f****** knife.”

Initially Haughey could not be found and in January, when she heard the police were looking for her she agreed to go and speak to them.
Defence lawyer Michael Gallen said the threat was “entirely empty” and that she is “mortified”.
Mum-of-three Haughey pled guilty in October 2017 to engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old boy.
Earlier in 2017, Haughey was given another community payback order after stalking her then boyfriend’s ex-partner.
