Shameless star Elliott Tittensor ordered to pay massive damages to trainee plumber thrown from bonnet of car

Shameless star Elliott Tittensor - must pay massive damages to a trainee plumber he 'battered' with his car, following a 'phone rage' incident, a top judge has ruled.

Trainee plumber, Oliver Flint, was thrown from the bonnet of Mr Tittensors BMW outside a McDonalds restaurant in the early hours of August 15 2010.

The pair had clashed in Kentish Town, North London, after the 18-year-olds phone battery ran out and Mr Tittensor refused to let him borrow his mobile, the High Court heard.

Mr Tittensor, 25, of Heywood, Rochdale, was out with his then girlfriend - Skins star, Kaya Scodelario, 22 - at the time and his motor insurance had run out.

Mr Flint, now 22, of Balmore Street, Highgate, sued the actor for more than 300,000 damages over the accident which wrecked his life.

And today Mr Justice Edis said: The decision to which I have come is that Mr Flint succeeds in his claim against Mr Tittensor for battery.

The court heard earlier how Mr Tittensor 'fled the scene', leaving Ms Scodelario behind in the McDonalds branch.

She told the court that the incident led to the breakdown of her relationship with Mr Tittensor in 2013.

He denied any wrongdoing, saying he acted in lawful self-defence in a bid to evade the plumber, who he accused of being 'drunk and aggressive'.
