Love Island star Adam Collard was attacked in a pub during a night out with Paige Thorne.
Footage from the brawl, which has left him "extremely shaken up", shows a mob ripping open his shirt.
The personal trainer, aged 26, was approached by a group of men while he, Paige and some friends tried to enjoy a quiet night in Newcastle on Tuesday evening.

An altercation quickly started, and a video shows the moment Adam’s shirt was almost torn off entirely – all to the tune of ‘Single Ladies’ by Beyonce, Mirror UK reports.
Security guards can be seen approaching the brawl in the video obtained by The Sun, before the group are split up and sent their separate ways.
An eyewitness said: “Everyone was trying to crowd him and I think they were trying to crowd Paige and Adam wasn’t happy at all which was understandable.
“Then people started to rip his top off and it all kicked off. It’s no surprise he wanted to defend himself and was obviously looking out for Paige as well.”
They told The Sun: “They were just out a drink together with friends and they didn’t need that hassle."
Adam's representative says he and his pals are “extremely shaken up” following the incident.
They said: “Adam was trying to enjoy a quiet night in his hometown with friends when a large group of men began aggressively harassing them.
“Despite several attempts to diffuse the situation, the men continued to become more aggressive and started physically attacking Adam."
“Understandably, Adam and his friends were extremely shaken up by the situation and felt it was best to leave and we’re safely escorted by the security team outside.”
His agent confirmed that “no further action has been taken” against the mob.
The ordeal comes after Paige has revealed that she will be returning to her job as a paramedic following her time on the Virgin Media show.
Appearing on ITV's Lorraine alongside Adam recently, Paige spoke about what's next for her both personally and professionally.
"So, personally for me, I've got a meeting to go back to paramedic work as well so that will be exciting. I saw an ambulance the other day with sirens on and I had serious FOMO!
“So I'm gonna go back into that a little bit and just see what opportunities come from that."
Ranvir then commented: "People will be surprised to hear you say that, won't they? A public service job, that isn't necessarily seen as glamorous or high earning..."
Paige replied: "It's one of those things, I genuinely just love my job so why wouldn't I want to go back to it? I really enjoyed it but I'll have other things alongside it."
Asked how her colleagues have reacted to her appearance on Love Island, Paige admitted: "I honestly didn't tell any of them that I was going on.
“But they've all been super supportive and it'll be nice to see everyone when I go back."
