Porn star Michelle Thorne's wrestler husband facing jail over terrifying knife-point assault
The estranged husband of one of Britain’s best-known porn stars is facing jail after a terrifying knife-point assault on her and her father.
Wrestler Dean Powell, 36, attacked busty Michelle Thorne at a hotel in November when he grabbed her around her neck and dragged her to a room.
The brute also assaulted the glamour girl and her dad at their marital home when she tried to throw him out a few days after Christmas.
He stamped on a PlayStation 3 game several times before making threats to kill and arming himself with a knife in his sock and two more in his hands.
When Michelle’s father Michael appeared on the scene and put Powell in a headlock, the wrestler head-butted and bit him, causing a nose bleed
After the second attack Powell calmly made himself a cup of tea and sat down and waited for police to arrive and arrest him.
Powell, now living with his parents in Maidenhead, Berks., admitted six charges of assaults, making threats to kill, property damage and possessing a blade.
Judge William Hart adjourned the case for sentence until next month and remanded him in custody.

He warned him at Bristol Crown Court: “It seems inevitable you will receive a custodial sentence.
“There may be an application for a restraining order. That will be considered on its merits.”
At an earlier hearing May Li, prosecuting, told magistrates the couple had been in a relationship since 2009 and married in 2010.
