The 28-year-old was taken into custody on Monday on suspicion of assault after an incident, believed to be of a domestic nature, on Ryelands Crescent.

After being released on police bail, Fitzgerald posted a video on social media.

In the footage, he went on to describe 'a kick-off with my ex-partner and her family'.

He was subsequently re-arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of witness intimidation and breaching his bail conditions.
