    “I was in college and my mum had found out I was having sex with my boyfriend.
    “So at this point I was 16 going on 17. She found out and she went mental.
    “She said ‘you’re never seeing him again, you’re never leaving this house again. I can’t believe you’re having sex with men’. At this point she’d already, basically, ruined my life.
    “She rang my college and said ‘she’s not coming back to college.’ She’d rung the salon I was working in and said ‘she’s not working for you anymore’.”

    As things deteriorated at home, Astrid decided that she had to leave for the sake of her own mental health.
    Astrid went on: “She literally locked me in my room. I remember the only thing I had in my bedroom was a little watch to tell the time because she took every electronic item.
    “She just went absolutely mental. Every hour she would come up and just scream in my face. It just got to a point where I was like, f*** it, I’m leaving.
    “I literally picked up my little watch, my passport. Didn’t have a phone, didn’t have a bank account, ran out the house into the pouring rain. Just ran away. That was the last time I saw her.”
    Astrid also revealed that she has footballers messaging her online.
    She said: “There’s a few blue ticks in my DMs, yeah.”
    Astrid then added: “Some of them are footballers.”

    The angle of the BT Sport camera shows the big left hand from Paul that caught Fury on the chin.
    TNT buckled and hit the deck but was able to break his fall and immediately spring back up, claiming it was purely a slip as his left foot skidded on the canvas.
    But social media users were largely on Paul’s side and think it was a legitimate knockdown – as scored by the referee.
    One said: “This shouldn’t even be a debate, the punch causes him to fall over. Yes his balance may have been off, but the punch leads to that reaction. It’s a flash knockdown, definitely not a slip.”

    Another wrote: “Even his old man said it was a knockdown… yeah he slipped but the punch caught him at the same time, wasn’t hurt at all but still a knockdown just unlucky he slipped at the same time.”
    A third added: “He got hit. He fell over. Case closed.”
    And a final user simply commented: “100 per cent knockdown.”
    However, a few did argue it was just a slip and Fury should not have been docked a point.
