James Argent’s ex-girlfriend Nicoline Artursson has shared an update on her injuries after she was pushed down some stairs.

The Towie star, 37, received a six-month suspended jail sentence and a two-year restraining order earlier last month after being arrested for pushing the model, 32, down a set of stairs in Spain.

He pleaded guilty to ‘mistreatment’ after being arrested when neighbours reportedly called police after hearing screaming.

In a powerful statement, Artursson has opened up about the mental and physical injuries she has endured.

‘It’s now been a month, I still can’t believe it,’ she began.

She revealed that her physical injuries had now healed, but she was suffering mentally: ‘My fractures on my body have finally healed, but I’m wounded inside.’

The former Miss Sweden’s injuries were revealed in court documents last month.

A provisional prosecution indictment, drafted before the plea deal, said: ‘The injured woman suffered several bruises to her neck, a bruise to her right forearm, several abrasions to her right arm, and abrasions to her right hand and on her right leg.’

Confirming she received medical assistance, the prosecutor said: ‘The injuries she suffered healed in seven days on skin and soft tissue.’

Artursson then spoke about the night of the incident in her post: ‘I was brutally thrown out of our new home in the middle of the night wearing only my pyjamas.

‘I opened the door to let him in, and only minutes after I found myself laying down on the stairs outside our house. 

‘My clothes and my belongings being thrown out from the balcony down on me. I was injured.’

She spoke about her healing journey as she said in the post: ‘I am healing now. Slowly, bravely and unapologetically. I will rise.’

She encouraged other women who might be in similar situations: ‘To every woman reading this: If you’ve ever questioned your worth, your safety, or your sanity in a relationship – this is your sign.

‘You deserve to feel safe. You deserved to be loved with care and integrity. You are not alone.’

Public prosecutors intended to push for a nine-month prison sentence for Argent for a crime of wounding, but he was spared jail after striking a plea bargain deal.

Artursson also has a two-year restraining order in place against Argent.

Following the incident, court documents obtained by The Sun showed the reality TV personality had to pay Artursson just £250 in damages.

Metro has reached out to James Argent’s representatives for comment.
