I’m A Celeb’s Myles Stephenson ‘viciously attacked by thugs’

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Myles Stephenson was reportedly attacked earlier this week outside Sheesh restaurant in Essex.

The area is a celebrity hang out, with many reality TV stars from TOWIE and Love Island posting about their nights out at the venue.

The Sun reports the attack came "out of nowhere", after as many as nine men "started on" Myles because they didn't like where he had sat, quickly asking him to move, which escalated into a brawl.

An onlooker told the publication, “It blew up in a couple of seconds. Myles seemed to have sat down with his friends in an area where these other guys seemed to think they had already reserved. Rather than talk about it quietly, they went straight in for a fight."

They added, “A few seconds later Myles had been whacked several times in the face and body and his friends had stepped in to try and help protect him too, but they were massively outnumbered. It was awful to watch and a ridiculous overreaction given what had happened.

“Security quickly intervened and had to manhandle the gang out of the bar before somebody got seriously hurt, and then kept Myles’ group inside because they were kicking off outside. Glass bottles were being smashed and some cars were damaged too — people were calling for the police.”

The Sun also report Myles was left shaken after the incident but stood his ground, with a friend adding, “Nobody could understand what had started it or whether they targeted Myles deliberately.”

Myles has since taken to Instagram to let fans know he is OK.

In a video, he said, "I just wanted to say thank you to everyone getting in touch. As you can see, I am fine, I have no bruises. My friends are also fine."
