A man who won the lottery then 'slept with 87 women' on a celebratory round-the-world trip was attacked by his girlfriend over a Snapchat message from another woman, a court heard.
Matt Myles scooped £1million in the Euromillions in April last year before jetting off across the globe.
When he got back he boasted of dozens of conquests on the trip, but got back together with former girlfriend Carla Chamberlain, 24.
The couple decided "make another go" but trouble flared on Boxing day last year after a night out, reports the Hereford Times .
On their way back to Mr Myles's home, Chamberlain saw he had received a Snapchat message from another woman.
She raged "various expletives" and said "she would get her own back" be hitting him in the face and scratching his neck.
My Myles left to a bar in the town, where he decided to end the relationship.
He went back home to wake her to tell her to leave, she went "crazy".
Hereford Magistrates Court was told the argument went out on to the street where Chamberlain was "shouting at the top of her lungs" about Mr Myles being fat.
Mr Myles claims Chamberlain tried to force her way back in and "grabbed" his testicles and pulled him to the floor.
He locked the door and tired to call her mum but couldn't get through.
Mr Myles said he was on the phone to police when he heard Chamberlain smash a window with her shoe.
Chamberlain told the court there had never been any violence before and believed Mr Myles had been drunk.
He had pushed her to the floor, she said, which left her shocked, upset and frightened with both dishing out abuse to each other.
While she was outside crying, Mr Myles came out and said he had slept with 87 girls since they had split up.
Philip Cornell, defending, said Mr Myles had exaggerated what had happened. Chamberlain had been fearful, he said, and had been treated "abominably" by her boyfriend.
Good character references read out to the court also described Chamberlain, who works as a fitness instructor for Halo Leisure, as friendly, reliable and hard-working.
Magistrates found Chamberlain guilty of two counts of common assault by beating and one count of criminal damage. She was cleared of a further charge of criminal damage after denying all four.
Magistrates said Chamberlain would pay £275 for each of the common assaults and a further £100 for the criminal damage. She was also fined £500 costs and made the subject of a 12-month restraining order.
