Thai police are hunting the ex-boyfriend of Love Island winner Amber Gill after a brawl ended with a French tourist being brutally stabbed outside a bar in Phuket.

Rory Colhoun, 33, was part of a group of three British tourists involved in a fight with the French traveller, named as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter Jugurtha Nubel Khaleche.

Colhoun, who is from Leeds, was jailed in the UK for four years in 2017 for beating up two nightclub doormen, leaving one in critical condition in hospital.

TV star Ms Gill dumped him in 2021 after MailOnline revealed his criminal past, but the pair later rekindled their romance. They have not been linked since 2022.

The thug, along with Rayon Hamilton Craig, 28, and Emilio Bozzo, 34, is now said to be on the run after police found Khaleche, 23, covered in stab wounds outside a Thai bar.
