Back in March, Ms Lazenby had found her son at her front door after midnight and managed to convince the troubled model to stay over for the night.

It was claimed that the mother and so got into a heated argument the next morning after Lazenby had wanted his mum to buy cigarettes for him.

The row became violent and it was alleged that Jethro kneed his mother in the face, causing her bruising and bleeding.

It was understood that Lazenby stormed out of the house after attack as his mum fled to a pub and requested for the police to be called.

Lazenby was arrested soon after and was detained until sentencing which was due to take place in May.

At the time of his arrest, he had also been on bail for a series of violent assaults on his girlfriend in 2018 which also saw him spent time in prison.
