However, District Judge Jeff Brailsford sitting at Blackpool Magistrates Court heard how Wheeler, 43, of St Patrick’s Road North, St Annes broke both those conditions.

Wheeler admitted assault on New Year’s Day and sentence on him was adjourned by the District Judge so reports can be prepared.

He was remanded in custody.
