Big Brother star accused of assault in incident that hospitalised three people

Simone Reed, who took part in Big Brother in 2017, has reportedly been accused of assault after an altercation in a bar in North Yorkshire.

Three people were taken to hospital on Saturday, February 15, with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Reed rose to prominence in 2014 when she auditioned for X Factor but did not make it through to live shows.

She later appeared on Big Brother’s 18th season, the penultimate series on Channel 5, but was evicted after 15 days.

The 36-year-old reality personality was accused of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, possessing a blade and assisting an offender after the incident at Peggy Junes Bar in Redcar.

Reed, who appeared at Teesside Magistrates Court yesterday, was charged along with two men, all of whom were remanded in custody.

Carl Wild, 33, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated burglary, two counts of criminal damage, and assaulting a person causing bodily harm.

Lee Wild, 37, was charged with assisting an offender and all three will next appear at Teesside Crown Court on March 18.

After her stint on X Factor, Reed went viral for stripping in broad daylight at the Stockton job centre after being dared by a friend.

It was part of the NekNominate game but she also claimed it was a political protest, stating at the time: ‘The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer.

‘That’s why I did it as well,’ she added. ‘People are suffering.’

Police reportedly cordoned off the area surrounding Peggy Junes Bar and a double-crewed ambulance arrived for the injured people.

A spokesperson for the North East Ambulance Service told TeesideLive they were called to the scene just before 8.45pm.
