“It’s described by a third party as a little off and on and Mr Phillips appears to have got angry about something. There were a pair of hair straighteners on the floor which he stamped on. She left the house and when she got back a lot of her makeup had been thrown outside.

“He told police that he had snapped the straighteners because he was angry, and threw her make-up out of the window because he had been angry.”

She added that the straighteners were worth around £100.

Defending, John Wilford said: “The defendant was unemployed at the time and they were together for 24-hours a day in the home and things were quite tense.

“They are communicating over contact with the child but they are not in a relationship anymore but they are co-operating over the child.”
