Natalie Cassidy's fianc, Adam Cottrell has been arrested after a row with the former Eastenders star "turned physical".

According to The Sun, police were called to Cassidy's Hertfordshire home, which she shares with 31-year-old Cottrell, after he went "berserk" and smashed up furniture during the argument.

Hertfordshire police said:

"We were called on Sunday [22 May] around 5.30pm. 

"Adam Cottrell has been charged with two counts of assault by beating and two counts of criminal damage. He will appear at East Herts Magistrates Court on 31 May."

The couple welcomed their first child, Eliza Beatrice, together back in October 2010.

They met at the Isle of Wight music festival in 2009 and got engaged last year during a trip to Italy.

Cassidy, 28, recently gave a magazine interview in which she gushed about her happy relationship with Cottrell.

She told Closer magazine:

"We are having more sex than ever since we got back from our holiday to Cyprus.

"But were not at it like rabbits. Ive no time for dressing up in sexy maid outfits!"
