Natalie Cassidy has been snapped for the first time since news broke that her fiancé Adam Cottrell was arrested on Sunday and charged with assault and criminal damage.

Transport manager Adam, 31, is said to have 'gone beserk' during an alleged row with Natalie before reportedly smashing up furniture in the couple's home.

Ex-EastEnders star Natalie stepped out on her balcony for a cigarette in Hertfordshire today, looking tired and stressed in jeans and a woolly jumper.

She was make-up free and had noticeable bags under her eyes.

'We were called on Sunday around 5.30pm,' Hertfordshire police confirmed last night.

'Adam Cottrell has been charged with 2 counts of assault by beating and 2 counts of criminal damage.

'He will appear at East Herts magistrates court on 31 May.'

Natalie, 28, isn't wearing her engagement ring in the pictures but in a recent interview before the incident insisted the band is 'too big' since shedding her baby weight.
