Danny Guthrie's Big Fat Gypsy Wedding

Police were called twice on the morning of June 2nd as violence erupted during the disco at the nuptials of player Guthrie, 25, and his Liverpudlian girlfriend Rebecca Middleman, mother of their three year old daughter Sienna.

Guthrie had been released by Newcastle United on the day of the wedding.

The castle is one of England's premier wedding venues and was once owned by Prince Frederick - The Grand Old Duke Of York - brother of King George 1V.

Sources said fighting broke out around 2am in a marquee on the lakeside

It was reported that bride, Rebecca, 23, was punched in the face during the melee and had to go to hospital for checks the following morning.

Police broke up the first fracas but then at 4am - after staff at the Castle had locked out the guests - police were called again by the frightened managers when a man allegedly kicked and smashed down the door to gain entry.
