Katie Price’s fiancé Carl Woods spoke out with a strongly worded statement after his fiancée was allegedly assaulted.

The former glamour model was taken for treatment after sustaining facial injuries when police were called to where she was staying on August 23 following an incident.

An unnamed man was arrested on suspicion of assault, and was later released on bail.

Speaking out over the allegations for the first time, Carl vowed the ‘truth will be told’ and insisted those who accused him of committing the alleged assault are ‘completely delusional’.

Taking to Instagram, he shared a statement with his 199,000 followers, and posted the same message on his story.

‘I have remained quiet until now due to the investigation being carried out by the police however I have found it so difficult to keep quiet on social media due to the speculation and shocking abuse that I have received,’ he said.

‘Anybody who thinks I hit Katie, you’re completely delusional and have no idea of the reality of this situation.

‘I have never and never would do anything to hurt Katie. The truth will be told.’

In April, the couple revealed they were engaged, making Carl Katie’s fourth engagement.

Who is Carl Woods?

The 31-year-old is a car dealer who hails from Essex.

Katie and her kids make regular appearances on his social media page, alongside their pet dogs.

He also made an appearance on ITV2’s Killer Camp in 2018.
