Sophie Anderton 'threatens suicide'

Model in 2am plea to ex lover Ed Buxton

Sophie Anderton is said to have been left devastated by her split from Ed Buxton

Sophie Anderton was said to have been arrested yesterday after allegedly threatening to kill herself.

The troubled model is thought to have made the claim while confronting ex-lover Ed Buxton at his home in Parsons Green, West London, in the early hours of the morning.

The 33-year-old businessman, who split with Sophie last week, called officers after he failed to calm her down.

‘Sophie kept shouting: “I’ll kill myself if you won’t take me back,"’ a source tells The Sun. 'She said she didn’t want to live without him. She was scratching at her wrists.

'Ed kept saying they’d talk things over but she kept wrestling him away and screaming. No one could calm her down so Ed called 999.’

Officers arrested Sophie, 31, for disorderly conduct after she declined to be treated by paramedics.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan police said: 'We were called just before 2am to a female lying in the reception area of a block of flats in SW6.

'The 31-year-old woman was arrested under Section Five of the public order act and she has been bailed to [return on] a date in December.'

Her agent declined to comment to Now Online.
