Dizzee Rascal given community order for assaulting ex-fiancée in child custody row

Dizzee Rascal has been given a community order and will have to wear an electronic tag for assaulting his ex-fiancée Cassandra Jones during a row over child contact and finances.

The Grime artist, 37, whose real name is Dylan Mills, was given the community order with 24-week curfew and a 12-month restraining order after the judge said she was "satisfied" it was a "necessary and proportionate" measure at Croydon Magistrates' Court in London on Friday.

The musician had been found guilty of assaulting Cassandra by pressing his forehead against hers and pushing her to the ground during a "chaotic" row at a residential property in south London, on June 8 last year.
