The incident at the London club left 20 people injured. Acid was sprayed during an argument at Mangle nightclub in Dalston, east London, in the early hours of Monday morning. One of the victims included a 22-year-old woman who has been left blind in one eye. Ferne also issued her own public plea for scaffolder Arthur, 25, to turn himself in. Her spokesperson confirmed that Ferne, 26, was not at the nightclub with Arthur on Sunday night and "has no direct knowledge of the events that unfolded". Ferne seems to have signalled that she is no longer in a relationship with her on/off boyfriend, as she has deleted all traces of him on her Instagram account.
