Love Island ‘s Francesca Allen has been filmed squaring up to another woman during an explosive clash outside an Essex pub on Saturday night.
The furious spat saw the police called to the scene.
Francesca, 24, and the other woman flouted social distancing rules as they got up in each other’s faces and screamed at one another outside the King Oak pub in High Beech, Epping Forest.
The star, who appeared on Love Island last year, is said to have got into the row with the woman over a man.
In a shocking video, she can be seen waving her hands in the face of a woman standing in front of her, who is shouting back at her.

Meanwhile the woman, who is seen wearing an-all beige outfit, loses her temper at Francesca as she lunges forward and repeatedly yells at her.
Francesca comes back and shouts in her face while she has her fist clenched, in the shocking scene.

Meanwhile another bystander, who appears to be friends with them, comes forward and tries to act as a mediator, as she exclaims ‘Woah’.
Francesca is seen blocking the woman out with her hands and then the pair break away from the group and square up to each other.
Groups of stunned onlookers watch on as things get heated and seconds later as the screaming gets louder a police officer is seen dragging Francesca’s rival away.

A witness to the row on Saturday told Mail Online: ‘They appeared to be fighting over some guy.
He was on the side and basically telling them to calm down. It didn’t seem right, like they were fighting over him.
‘Francesca was trying to stay calm but when the girl got involved, that’s when she lost it and went for her.’

There were no injuries reported during the incident.
A spokesperson for Francesca told MailOnline: ‘Francesca was approached by two unknown females on Saturday afternoon who began verbally then physically abusing her.
‘In self-defence, Francesca defended herself. The attack was witnessed by the police and Francesca was asked if she wanted to pursue the matter, to which she declined.’
A close friend of Francesca’s also told the publication: ‘Fran was really shaken up by the whole experience, it was out of character for her.
‘She didn’t know the girls and had no idea why they were trying to attack her, in the circumstances she felt she needed to defend herself.’
Daily Star Online has contacted a representative of Francesca for comment.
