London, Feb 15 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Steve McFadden’s ex lover Dr. Rachel Sidwell has been arrested for assaulting the soap star. McFadden called in the police after claiming that Rachel attacked him in his car.

McFadden showed scratches on his neck and back as evidence of the assault. Rachel, who is a skin specialist, got involved with McFadden in 2008, just weeks after the pair met. The relationship however ended after one year but the two had a child together.

Their relationship was very much the subject in the newspapers. Rachel was married at the time she met McFadden. She left her husband but when the relationship ended, she went back to the £1million North London family home. Shortly after her split from McFadden, Rachel made a report to the police accusing him of harassment. The case was however dropped by the police.

British police have confirmed the arrest of Rachel. She was arrested on Valentine’s Day morning and released in the night. In a statement, the Met Police stated that, “This morning, a woman in her 40s was arrested in connection with the investigation.”

McFadden plays the role of Phil Mitchell in the BBC show EastEnders.
