Dizzee Rascal given restraining order as he avoids jail for assaulting ex

Dizzee Rascal has been sentenced after assaulting his ex-fiancée.

The rapper has been given a restraining order, a curfew and will have to wear an electronic tag for attacking his ex during a row over child contact and finances. The artist behind chart-topping singles Bonkers and Dance Wiv Me was said to be "frustrated" over custody arrangements and the pair had an argument when he dropped off their daughter at the property.

The 37-year-old, whose real name is Dylan Mills, had been found guilty of assaulting Cassandra Jones by pressing his forehead against hers and pushing her to the ground during a "chaotic" row at a residential property in Streatham, south London, on June 8 last year.
