Wife Swap star Lizzy Bardsley has been convicted at Bolton Crown Court of four offences of child cruelty.

The jury took just over three hours to find her guilty of the offences, which relate to one child who cannot be named for legal reasons.

Bardsley, aged 33, of Hurstead Road, Milnrow, Rochdale, showed no reaction as the verdict was returned on three charges of wilful assault of a child under 16 and one count of wilful ill-treatment.

Bardsley shot to fame for her loud-mouthed antics on the Channel 4 reality TV series.

Judge David Hernandez ordered the Probation Service to carry out a pre-sentence report in conjunction with social services.

He added that all sentencing options remain open.

The case was adjourned until February 22 and Bardsley was granted bail on condition she resides at her home address.
