A FRIEND of ex-footballer
Jamie Redknapp stabbed a
man 17 times “to defend”
himself, a court heard.
Charles Riddington told
the Old Bailey victim
George Barker, 24, drew
the knife during a drug row
at a gym in Bexley, South
East London, in 2016.
He added: “I wasn’t in
control of the knife.
“I was doing what I had
to do to defend myself.”

Motor prang

toff drove off

AN Earl drove his BMW
into a nurse’s car before
driving off, a court heard.
Lord Cardigan, David
Brudenell-Bruce, 66, told
police he was “unaware of
any crash” in the car park.
But a witness saw him
hit Alexandra Stephen’s
Seat Leon, causing £750
damage, in November.
Salisbury magistrates
gave him six points and a
£2,126 fine for failing to
stop and driving without
due care or insurance.
The Earl, of Savernake,
Wilts, was not in court.

THE FIGHT’S OVER

welterweight champion’s dad, Shah,

and mum, Falak, said recently they

had not talked to him in six months.

Shah blamed model Faryal, 28,

and her mum for the 2016 fall-out,

saying they had “teamed up, 100%”.

He said: “They’re in his head,

both of them. They want to control

everything about Amir.

“We said, ‘Fine, carry on with it’.

We’ve taken a step back.

‘But I don’t know why he stopped

talking to us. I have no idea.

“They say that I’ve robbed him –

they’ve turned him against us.”

In 2017  Bolton-born Amir  and

American Faryal almost split. They

reconciled when she revealed she

was expecting their second child.

Amir also accused her of cheating

with Anthony Joshua, which both

she and the former world

heavyweight champion denied.

Faryal fired back saying her

husband was “bad around women”.

Boxer Amir Khan ends family feud 3

years after parents branded wife ‘evil’

AMIR Khan claims he has

healed the rift with his parents

after realising “one punch in

boxing can change your life”.

The family publicly fell out as the

gloves came off between his wife,

Faryal Makhdoom, and her in-laws.

Trading low blows, Faryal

accused them of bullying and

violence while they branded

her “evil” and a bad mum.

But Amir, 32, insists

that is all in the past.

He said: “I speak

to them all the time

• everything is cool
  between them.
  “I’m in a sport
  where one punch
  can change your life,
  and I thought, ‘Be
  nice to everyone’.”
  The former world light-
