He and the woman used to work together, and became engaged when Smith was 25. They were together for three and a half years when things took a dark turn.
"She was a kickboxer," he said. "It was a proper one, she bust my lip and nose."

Smith said he was trying to organise a surprise dinner for his fiancee the first time she was violent. He was on the phone organising the dinner when she demanded to know who he was talking to.
"[It] came from nowhere," he told his fellow contestants. "There was never any jealous things like this before."
