Dirty Sanchez Star Matthew Pritchard’s Attacker In Court

MATTHEW Pritchard, star of MTV’s Dirty Sanchez TV show was stabbed in the Toftwood Co-op on Monday 7 September, and also in the neck and back.

We can confirm it was a Co-Op. Not a Budgens.

Mark Edward Smith, of Toftwood, is before Norwich magistrates, charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

As the TV star said at the time:

“I went into the shop with my missus, and this guy was in there. He was having a go at the staff and saying: ‘I’ve been in the scouts prison for two years, what are you asking me for ID for?’ He was getting really out of hand and by this time I was fuming because there were kids in the shop and it’s not right.

“He was effing and blinding. It was disgusting.”

Says the man who appears on a TV show named after a sexual act that involves wiping a line of poo under your lover’s nose.

I said ‘don’t you speak to women and children like that’ and pushed him out. He saw me coming towards him and I saw him get this knife out and he slashed me down the neck. I thought ‘Oh my God, he’s stabbed me’. My missus saw me and was screaming. People in the shop gave me a towel to put pressure on my neck. The blood started coming through that.

“I thought I was about to go to sleep at any point. I was telling my missus to tell my mum I love her.”

As ever, Twitter does the PR and Pritchard, a minor star on minor telly show on a minor telly channel makes the most of his moment in the limelight…
