Former Big Brother contestant Sallie Axl is said to have “stabbed her ex-boyfriend with scissors in front of a toddler because he laughed at her when she was self-harming”.
In posts shared on Instagram, Sallie, 32, claims the incident with ex-boyfriend Gerard Williams happened “a year ago” when she was at “breaking point”.
The video shows a toddler looking on, while Sallie appears to have cuts on her wrists in the footage.
It’s not clear if the child in the video is the couple’s daughter Savannah-Blu, who was born in June 2016. Sallie is also mum to daughter Nirvana, eight.
Posting a throwback shot of herself and her youngest daughter wearing face masks on Instagram this morning, Sallie said: “I fight my illness for you.”

Sallie split from Gerard while she was heavily pregnant with Savannah-Blu, publicly dumping him via Twitter after claims he had been messaging a “skinny” woman.
At the time, Sallie said: “If I could turn back time I would never of let you in my life.” [sic]
The Liverpool Echo reports that Merseyside Police are “making enquiries” into the video. It’s not believed the incident was reported to police at the time.
A police spokesperson said: “We have been made aware of some footage posted on social media and are making enquiries into the matter.”

Just last month, Sallie was found guilty of claiming housing benefit while living in the Big Brother house back in 2013.
It’s said the star never informed the council that she didn’t move back into the property in Wallasey, the Wirral, after the show, so continued to be paid housing benefits to the value of more than £12,000.
Sallie, whose real name is Sally Pryzbeck, pleaded guilty to a charge of dishonestly failing to notify a change of circumstances and was ordered to repay £12,000 and carry out 200 hours of community service.
