‘I feel terrible': Football star breaks silence after footage shows him hurling a chair at woman
English football star Kian Harratt has broken his silence after being filmed throwing a chair at a woman in Ibiza. Oldham Athletic forward Harratt, 23, allegedly threw one of several chairs during a poolside brawl that hit a woman. Shocking footage captured during the violent row appears to show the striker launching a chair. The footballer can be seen wearing black shorts and sporting his distinctive goatee. The star footballer has now said he feels 'very apologetic' and 'terrible' that the chair he threw had hit the woman, according to The Sun. You can watch the incident in the player above. But he blamed other tourists for starting the fight. Harratt alleges that a man approached his friend and went on to 'punch him', which made him feel he had to intervene. The striker claims a chair was thrown at him, and it was at that moment that he picked it up and threw it back. He said he did not mean to hit the woman. Referring to the man who started the skirmish, Kian said: 'He was the worst man you could ever come across and a bully! He was 6'6 and built like a brick!' Footage showed one female tourist being clobbered in the head by a flying chair, while another man was knocked into the pool. Brit holiday-maker Kyle Crawford told The Sun the striker and three of his pals were 'being horrible' to a group of women before the clash on June 21. Kyle didn't recognise 23-year-old EFL star Harratt at the time of the altercation – but confirmed his identity after watching the footage back. A second source who was caught up in the fight told The Sun: 'It was Kian Harratt. He was bothering these girls.' Kyle said Harratt and his friends were 'throwing little rugby balls' at the female tourists inside the pool, one of which being the woman who was struck by a chair later on. 'They were just in the pool splashing them and throwing balls at them – being proper immature,' he explained. Kyle revealed he and his mate stepped in to stand up for the women. 'Me and my mates stuck up for them, and then in the end, they'd come to attack my mate,' he said. He alleged that there was an altercation, and his mate was punched first during the ruckus. He said his pal hit back, and the whole confrontation 'calmed down' for a bit. But shortly after, the player and his pals started hurling chairs towards Kyle and his mates, with one of the women who was initially being disturbed getting caught in the crossfire. 'They start throwing chairs – they threw a chair at a woman,' he said. And a second clip, moments after the initial throw, shows another man hurling a second chair, which knocked the other men into the pool. The Brit tourist explained: 'We just stuck up for her, the lads were just being idiots, immature. 'This video doesn't do us justice for actually being gentlemen and looking after these women.' He detailed that after the altercation, the men 'all got kicked out', while Kyle says he and his mates were praised by staff for standing up to them. 'All the staff around the pool said thanks and what gentlemen we were,' he said. 'The women thought they were idiots, immature and stupid.' Kyle also said that his mate allegedly required stitches from hotel staff following the chair attack. The player's mum told MailOnline she was 'aware' of the video – but declined to comment further. The Sun has also reached out to Harratt's management for comment.

Katie Price's boyfriend JJ Slater UNFOLLOWS Conor McGregor after she was pictured partying with him in Ibiza
KATIE Price's boyfriend JJ Slater has unfollowed Conor McGregor on Instagram after she was pictured partying with him in Ibiza. Page 3 legend Katie, 47, was snapped in a barely-there red and white bikini cuddling up to the UFC star, 36, at Ocean Beach during a rowdy day out on the Spanish party island. 4 Grinning for selfies and dancing among the crowd, the mum-of-five looked in her element as she joined a host of celeb pals - including Wayne Lineker, Jamie O'Hara and Dean Gaffney - at the event. Conor later posted a photo from the event with Katie, captioning it: "Katie Price Forever." But behind the scenes, the pictures didn't go down well with JJ, 31, who swiftly hit the unfollow button on Conor's account. A source told The Sun: 'JJ had been following Conor on social media for around six months. "Katie and JJ went to Ireland a few months ago and Katie took him to Conor McGregor's pub and introduced them. "Katie was already following Conor on socials, and after that he followed her back and JJ also started following Conor. "Now, after Katie was snapped partying with Conor in Ibiza, JJ has unfollowed Conor. "He didn't like seeing the pictures of them having a whale of a time on the party island, he thought it looked disrespectful.' JJ, who found fame on Married at First Sight UK, has been dating Katie since earlier this year, with the pair recently enjoying a string of PDA-filled outings. Katie's tiny figure was on full display as she cuddled up with Conor during the wild party earlier this month. The reality star nearly slipped out of her tiny bikini as she danced among the crowd with the boxer. Showing off a deep bronze tan and slender frame, Katie beamed next to Conor as she posed with fans and the boxer. With a tiny red and white bikini barely keeping her famously enhanced boobs covered, Katie delighted in the revelry on the day out. JJ's representatives have been contacted for comment. Fans have grown concerned for the star in recent weeks during her increasingly slender frame. Katie has repeatedly shut down speculation she had started using weight loss jabs – and hit back at critics of her weight loss. Speaking on her Snapchat in May, Katie said: "Yes I've lost weight. "Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. "Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. "So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." She then explained how, after finishing her failed IVF treatment, she became more active with healthy eating. "Everyone is talking about it - it's driving me mad," she said. "I'm healthy and I do eat. "If you look at old old pictures of me in the Jordan days, I was always skinny." The mum-of-five underwent a £1,500 bum filler procedure in May which she livestreamed on TikTok from the operating table. She told the camera: 'You can grow old gracefully, but I don't want to grow old gracefully. "If there's procedures out there to be done, I will take advantage of them. And at least I'm being honest.' Just weeks later, she shared that she had gone for more, further enlarging her rear. Plasters from the treatment were still present and bleeding on her bum by the time she arrived in Ibiza, with Katie showing off the bandages by the poolside. 4

Wayne Rooney pictured looking glum on holiday with Coleen & pals
WAYNE Rooney looks short of holiday spirit on a sunshine break with smiling wife Coleen and their jolly band of pals. The ex-England and Man United ace, 39, seemed glum in the snap in Ibiza, and was covered up in a T-shirt and cap. Yet his gang of chums — including old team-mates John O'Shea and Michael Carrick — and partners bared the flesh and supped cocktails. Coleen, a drink in each hand, posted the snap online and captioned it: 'Amazing time in Ibiza with great friends.' But many spotted Wayne's pain with one commenting: 'Wayne needs to tell his face he is having a fab time.' Rooney has been tipped for a shock return to management - in non-league. He was sacked by Plymouth Argyle on New Year's Eve. Rooney left the Pilgrims bottom of the Championship after a dismal seven-month spell. The 39-year-old won just five of his 25 games in charge at Home Park. Plymouth were eventually relegated to League One despite an upturn in form under Miron Muslic. SunSport transfer expert Alan Nixon claims Rooney is now a target for non-league Macclesfield. 1

Hotel at centre of EFL star Kian Harratt's brawl bizarrely claims ‘no chairs were thrown'…despite woman floored by stool
THE Ibiza hotel at the centre of a poolside brawl involving EFL star Kian Harratt has bizarrely claimed no chairs were thrown in the now-famous fight. Its denial comes despite at least two clips showing suspiciously chair-shaped objects flying through the air and flooring a middle-aged woman. 7 7 Tensions flared between two groups at the Marco Polo Hotel in San Antonio on Saturday afternoon. Footage emerged showing a young Brit - now know to be Oldham Athletic striker Kian Harratt - lobbing a stool towards another guest but it hitting a lady. The striker broke his silence last night, admitting he feels "terrible" and "very apologetic" - but also levelled the blame at a poolside "bully". That man - burly Brandon Watkins, 31 - hit back at Kian, blasting: "I'm 6ft 4 for a start and I'm not a bully." Now, Vibra Hotels which owns the spot where the spat unfolded, has waded in - but it has caused only more confusion. A spokesperson said: "The fight in the pool lasted less than three minutes since our corporate security at the hotel acted immediately. "No chairs were thrown at any guests; the lady got in the middle, it seems that with the intention to stop the fight. "The lady was asked by our security members if she wanted to report to the police and file a complaint, but she said she was okay and she did not want to, that she just slipped and she was fine, and she thanked our security members. "It took less than three minutes for the incident to end since our security acted quickly, and as soon as they acted, the fighters left the pool area. "It really is a shame for us and for our teams to have to deal with this kind of issue, especially when people are supposed to come on holiday to enjoy and have fun, and not to act in other ways." Moment reveller is smashed in head with BOTTLE during brawl as Brits arrested One clip clearly shows a white plastic chair clobbering blonde lady on the back and sending her to ground - before another chair flies over her unmoving body. The whole fiasco has been followed by tit-for-tat swipes, but multiple sources have claimed Kian's group were the initial troublemakers. Brandon told MailOnline that the footballer had "provoked" his friends and the whole group were "looking for a fight". He said all had been peaceful during the five days of their stay before Kian and his gang rocked up. 7 7 7 The new arrivals were lobbing balls around causing trouble from the moment they arrived, Brandon claimed. He continued: "'They were just being a nightmare. One lad was winding us up. Kian was sat right next to him and if anything Kian was provoking him." Another Brit who was at the hotel, Kyle Crawford, told The Sun that Kian and his three pals were "being horrible" to a group of women before the clash. He said: "There was four lads, we didn't know who they were, being horrible to some women. "They were just in the pool splashing them and throwing balls at them - being proper immature." Another caught up in the fight told The Sun: "It was Kian Harratt. He was bothering these girls." 7
