Derby County star Jacob Butterfield nicked over bloody bite to pal’s big toe at wedding bash
Fracas kicked-off just as Championship ace was celebrating his engagement, but midfielder denies assault claims
A FOOTBALLER was arrested at his own lavish engagement party after a 1am brawl — over his model fiancee’s big toe.
A friend of Derby County’s Jacob Butterfield infuriated some of Hollie Dixon’s family by nibbling at her foot while she sat on a sofa.
When one woman asked how he would like it the pal took off his sock before she took a huge bite of his foot and left it covered in blood.
Butterfield, 26, who was hosting the boozy bash at his £800,000 home, then allegedly clashed with the woman’s husband.
A source said: “There was loads of pushing and shoving. A relative got involved and ended up being bottled on the back of the head.
“The relative was then dragged into the garden next to a marquee and says he woke up to see someone kicking him in the head.
“It was like an episode of Footballers Wives.”
The man, 47, was taken to hospital in a neck brace after his head swelled to twice its size but is now recovering.
Butterfield, who was wearing a pair of flashy spiked Louis Vuitton trainers, was arrested at Saturday’s party in Leeds and released on bail.
The former Man United youth player refused to comment last night.
But Hollie, 25, has apparently called off next year’s wedding at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, where England striker Jamie Vardy got married last month.
Last night Butterfield denied assault claims and insisted he was not involved in the bust-up.
