Cheryl Cole’s brother admits assault

Andrew Tweedy told he faces a custodial sentence

Cheryl Cole performed with Girls Aloud on ITV's Dancing On Ice on Sunday 15 March

Cheryl Cole’s brother has been warned he could go to jail after he admitted attacking a man with pepper spray in August last year.

Andrew Tweedy, 28, who pleaded guilty to assault and possession of a prohibited weapon, will be sentenced at Newcastle Crown Court next month.

Tweedy missed Cheryl’s wedding in 2006 because he was behind bars for a mugging.

The Girls Aloud star's husband Ashley was arrested and fined for being drunk and disorderly while out clubbing in London on 5 March.

She was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief at the time.
