Sophie Anderton reveals nasty black eye after ex-lover’s arrest

July 17th, 2009

Sophie Anderton revealed a nasty-looking black eye as she headed out to buy painkillers yesterday.
Sophie, 32, was spotted three days after police were called to break up a fight with her ex-boyfriend Ed Buxton.
The property developer, also 32, was later arrested on suspicion of assault and bailed until September.
Yesterday downcast Sophie also showed a bruised black thumb as she clutched a pack of Anadin.
She has been laying low since receiving her injuries, after being forced to cancel modelling bookings.
A friend told MailOnline she had met up with Buxton ‘as friends’, but their reunion led to a confrontation as he drove her back to her Fulham home in his car.
‘He would like it to be a lot more than she would,’ added the friend.
At the time of the split in November Sophie was said to be ‘in a very bad state’.
But, having survived a highly publicised battle with drug addiction, a positive Sophie had recently spoken of beating her demons, saying she had put on a stone as a result of eating regular meals.
‘I survived for days on coffee and Red Bull,’ she said. ‘No wonder I got skinny!
‘My addiction and constant partying had a terrible effect on my body – I was just so unhealthy. But now I’m feeling good.’
The troubled model also found herself at the centre of a tabloid newspaper sting in 2007 when she was exposed as an escort girl.
The scandal saw her profile and earnings plummet.
She later claimed she was duped into working as an escort girl.
