A man has been jailed for breaking his girlfriend’s jaw after she criticised his favourite popstar Nicki Minaj.
Matthew Scargill went “mental” and accused Kelly Towey of being jealous after she complained about the US singer ‘pulling faces’ during performances.
The 25-year-old then followed his girlfriend from the living room into the bedroom where he hurled a bottle of nail varnish at the wall, smashing it and showering her with the contents.
He then punched his 24-year-old partner with such force that her jaw was broken and required a metal plate to be fitted.
The pair had drunk several cans of cider each when Minaj, whose last single Pound the Alarm was a top 10 hit, came on the TV.
Ms Towey said she didn't like Minaj 'because of the faces she pulls', sending Scargill, who she had been dating for eight weeks, into a sudden fury.
She told police: "Matthew just switched and started shouting at me and going mental, saying it's because I've got nothing, and I'm jealous of her."
