A former ITV and BBC reporter punched her boyfriend and threw chips at him during an argument at a train station, a court has heard.
Victoria Mayo, 41, who was employed at ITV's regional Anglia News until recently and has also worked as a freelancer for the BBC, is also said to have pulled Edward Royall's hair during the 'disagreement'.
Great Yarmouth Magistrates' Court heard that Mr Royall called police about the alleged assault at Oulton Broad North railway station in Suffolk on February 22.
Mayo's solicitor, Rob New, told magistrates the defendant's partner - who supported her by accompanying her to court yesterday - had asked for the assault charge to be dropped against her.
He has also stated that he will be acting as a witness for the defence at her trial.
