Men Behaving Badly star Leslie Ash was held in hospital on Friday night having suffered a broken rib, torn muscles and internal injuries after “falling out of bed during sex” with husband, Lee Chapman.

Police were called to the couple’s £2million, south-west London home after a workman had heard a commotion. They arrested Chapman on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm but dropped the charges and released him later after Ash said she did not want to press charges because it was a “total misunderstanding”.

Chapman was also charged with assault three years ago but Ash dropped the charges then. Otherwise, throughout their 18 year marriage, she has only suffered a couple of fat lips. But that's between her and her cosmetic surgeon.
