I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here - Jungle Star Marc Arrested

ACTOR Marc Bannerman was arrested over a confrontation with paparazzi after he had lunch with Cerys Matthews at a pub.

The former EastEnders star became embroiled in a row with photographers after a meal with his fellow I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! contestant on Friday afternoon.

The actor travelled to Cerys Matthews’ home in west Wales last week after forming a close relationship with her in the Australian jungle.

After leaving the television show, Matthews, who found fame as lead singer with the band Catatonia, confessed she was in love with Bannerman and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

Bannerman and another man were released on police bail pending further inquiries into the incident outside the Ship Inn in Trefin, Pembrokeshire, west Wales.

Meriel Murphy, who owns the Ship Inn business, said Matthews was in a ‘distressed state’ following the confrontation.

‘It was horrible because they had such a nice time in the pub,’ she said.

‘Cerys was very distressed and I had to fetch a car to take her home.’

A spokeswoman for Dyfed-Powys Police said: ‘Police are continuing with the investigation into an incident outside the Ship Inn, Trefin which occurred on Friday afternoon.

Two persons have been arrested in connection with the incident.

They have been released on police bail pending further inquiries.’
