Boxer Ricky Hatton has been quizzed by police over a drunken bust-up with his girlfriend.
The world champion fighter and his long-term partner, nursery nurse Jennifer Dooley, screamed abuse at each other in the early hours.
Hatton and Jennifer, both 30, traded insults for several minutes before a neighbour in Hyde, Greater Manchester, called the police.
One neighbour, who didn't want to be named, said: "Ricky was effing and blinding at her - it woke us all up. There was a hell of a noise. At some point the police were called. When they arrived they took Ricky into the back of their van and escorted his girlfriend back inside to calm her down. It was a pretty sad sight."
Neither Hatton, who was admitted to hospital with an irregular heartbeat last month, nor Jennifer were charged. But both were reprimanded by officers.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: "Officers arrived at an address last Saturday to discover a domestic dispute on-going between Ricky Hatton and a female. It was clear both had been drinking heavily.
"The female was asked if she had been assaulted and she said she had not. She was asked if she wanted to make a formal complaint and she said she did not. The officers were content no crime had been committed and left."
The bust-up is the latest in a string of rows which have blighted their sixyear relationship. Last July Hatton infuriated Jennifer after being photographed by the Sunday Mirror with a mystery blonde in a Spanish nightclub.
In November he angered her again by choosing to party with Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher in Brazil rather than spend a romantic holiday with her.
