A woman has pleaded guilty to assault by beating and criminal damage in court today after she threw a milkshake over Nigel Farage outside a pub on Clacton-on-Sea.

Victoria Thomas Bowen, 25, also admitted criminal damage after causing £17.50 worth of damage to a jacket belonging to Farage’s security officer James Woolfenden.

Farage, who is now Clacton MP, was doused as he left the Moon and Starfish Wetherspoon pub in the Essex seaside town on June 4.

Thomas Bowen had originally denied the charges and was due to go on trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday but changed her pleas to guilty before proceedings began.
