Threats and intimidation
- Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you
Physical abuse
- This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten.
Sexual abuse
- Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent.

Love Island contestant quits show hours after cast reveal for ‘personal reasons' following arrest revelation
Ashman, 23, a water operative from Stafford, was among the original cast members set to appear on the reality dating series, which returns to ITV2 on Monday, June 9. However, the broadcaster has since removed him from the show following the emergence of a past incident. 'For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island villa as planned', ITV said in a statement. According to reports, Ashman was previously arrested in connection with a violent incident earlier this year. The Sun claims the arrest was linked to a machete attack that occurred in February at a wake in Stafford, during which several people were injured. One man reportedly sustained near life-changing injuries to his arm, while others were attacked with a glass, a metal pole, and a car. Ashman was released without charge and has denied any involvement. In a statement, he said: 'I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. 'I am not a violent person, and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' ITV is understood to have been unaware of Ashman's arrest prior to the show's cast reveal. The decision to remove him was made after the incident was flagged to producers by The Sun. ADVERTISEMENT Deadline also reported that no contestants had entered the Mallorca villa at the time ITV made its decision and the show's format remains unaffected. Love Island is set to return for its twelfth summer series on Monday, with Maya Jama once again leading the show as host. This marks Jama's fourth time presenting the main series, having become the face of the ITV2 dating show in 2022. In addition to the flagship summer edition, she has also hosted both of the franchise's All Stars spin-offs, which aired in January over the past two years and were filmed in South Africa.

Satellite pic from days after Maddie vanished shows eerie ‘tent' in Brueckner's camping spot now being searched by cops
MADELEINE McCann prime suspect Christian Brueckner stayed in a 'wild camping' ground on land now being scoured by cops, The Sun can reveal. Search teams have Advertisement 16 A recent satellite picture of the farmhouse 16 A satellite image of the farmhouse in 2007, seemingly with a tent inside 16 Police searching the abandoned building on Tuesday Credit: Dan Charity 16 Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Beurckner pictured arriving in to court in 2024 Credit: Dan Charity 16 Madeleine McCann disappeared in Praia da Luz, Portugal on May 3, 2007 Credit: AFP 16 And German police leading the hunt hope Searchers were yesterday focusing on at least Sun analysis of a June 2007 satellite image of one building being The stone-walled property was photographed from space on June 22, 2007 - seven weeks after Maddie was Advertisement read more on maddie Recent pictures of the same spot show the building's massive deterioration - and lay bare the enormous task facing police seeking The 2007 images shows the roofless cottage or barn is approximately 58ft long by 25ft wide with a white, 9ft tent like structure pitched inside its walls. It is impossible to say whether the building was occupied by Brueckner or one of a number of hippie types living in the area in camper vans and tents at the time. But fading hopes of finding evidence linking him to the three-year-old British tot were also being hampered by the Advertisement Most read in The Sun Chain saws and diggers were drafted in to excavate ground and clear thick undergrowth which has overwhelmed many of the abandoned buildings. And luxury holiday homes have been built on other key spots within a ten acre area being combed by scores of Portuguese and German cops. 16 The abandoned house was scoured in the first day of the Maddie search Credit: Dan Charity 16 The barn was filled with overgrown shrubbery Advertisement 16 A mugshot of Christian Brueckner Teams spent yesterday toiling in 29C heat at the seaside search plot in an area called Atalaia, a mile east of the Ocean Club and half a mile from Brueckner's old house. Ground penetrating Locals said the spot close to a cliff was once a romantic spot where Portuguese couples would canoodle after dark in their cars. Advertisement But by the early noughties the open scrubland offering sea views and no parking charges attracted a foreign 'wild camper' set - Police are believed to have launched their 'last throw of the dice' search after tip-offs from associates about the area and geolocation checks of his computer hardware. Local man Joao Pedro , 63, who grew up in the area, told The Sun: 'It used to be a romantic spot - I used to take my girlfriends there. 'But at the time Maddie went missing in the noughties it was very popular with foreign campers and you'd see camper vans and tents there all time.

One officer said: 'We are here because Brueckner used to camp here. Not only Brueckner but many people.' The Sun also examined historic satellite imagery showing Brueckner's single story house around half a mile from the current search site at the time of the abduction. Advertisement Images recorded in 2006 and 2007 show vehicles resembling his distinctive VW camper van nearby. He moved out of the white and yellow bungalow in late 2006 but a white roofed van still appears to be parked outside it in June 2007 after Maddie was snatched. A white structure erected close to his house in 2006 when he lived there also appears to have vanished the following year. Imagery also shows scores of open wells across the entire search area which were being drained and methodically checked for clues yesterday. Advertisement Wider satellite pictures taken in 2007 show a string of building plots around the current search area - which have since become luxury homes and holiday estates. The worst fear of officers is that Brueckner could have hidden Maddie's body or vital clues in the foundations of buildings which would now be impossible to excavate. Hopes that telltale fragments of clothing - like the missing tot's pink Eeyore pyjamas - might be found are also remote. German federal officers are racing against time to find vital DNA clues after the 48-year-old fiend Brueckner boasted he would 'go to ground' when he is released in September. Advertisement The vile pervert - who cops are convinced took and killed Maddie - is currently due to finish a seven year sentence for raping a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz in 2005. A Portuguese police source said last night: 'This really is a last ditch effort - search teams here are hoping they get lucky. 'Officers are determined to do everything they possibly can before Brueckner walks free. They know what is at stake.' 16 A criminal police investigator walks near ruins as police resume the search for the body of Madeleine McCann today Advertisement 16 One of the derelict and abandoned properties close to Praia da Luz 16 One abandoned house was scoured earlier on Wednesday TIMELINE OF EVENTS Here's a timeline of the case which has gripped the world.
