Television Presenter Cautioned By Police After Row With Husband Escalates

Television presenter and model, Melanie Sykes, is making headlines today after it was reported she spent the night in custody following a row with her husband.  According to the Mirror the 43-year-old was arrested and cautioned by police after a row “escalated” between her and her 27-year-old husband, Jack Cockings. The incident which took place at the T.V. personality’s home in North London on Tuesday evening, resulted in Sykes spending the night in custody. Today a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: "Police were called at 9.45pm last night to a residential address in Hampstead following reports of an assault. "A 43-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of common assault and taken to a North London police station. "She has since been given a caution for common assault. The victim, a man, did not require hospital treatment." The couple met online last year after exchanging a string of flirty tweets and wed in May. In a recent interview with Hello magazine Sykes admitted that she wished her relationship with Jack was not initiated in such a public forum. "We were just being silly and having a joke, but the way it was put across made it more difficult to handle,” she told the magazine. "I had to ride the wave for a couple of weeks and went away with my boys... I did talk a little bit about the situation to my older son. I told him I'd made a mistake and that I'd said some things other people felt I shouldn't have done."
