'We were best friends for 17 years before we got together - I thought it meant he wouldn't hurt me'
A mum-of-five has told how her abusive ex-boyfriend threatened to cut off her ears, spat at her on a night out and told her on Christmas Day to kill herself. Leanne Hoare, 33, bravely spoke out to describe her ordeal after Michael Duncan, 38, was jailed for six months.

Yet Michael had lots of female friends on social media and he was very flirty. I was very confused by it. I kept trying to reason with him.
She said: "I was disgusted by him spitting at me and he embarrassed me in front of my friends. We finished, and I thought that was the end of it. But Michael started turning up outside the house every day, he called and sent me voice notes. Leanne, from Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, said: "That was a real low point for me. I have a photo of me sitting on the sofa, sobbing, on Christmas Day. I felt like he had beaten me. I cooked Christmas dinner for the kids, but I couldn't eat a mouthful myself."
