However, most others will call this fight ‘horrific’ as it showcased Doherty’s ear in a bitten-off stage. The ear could be seen dangling from the little connection it had with the bulk. The video also showcased the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ contestant’s face in a bloodbath. It could be seen clearly that the person recording the video was clearly against Doherty; cheering for Joyce to land a few more shots. It is pertinent to note that Joyce is Doherty’s cousin.

The ear biting could be retraced to Paddy Doherty’s rant that he “bit his victims and consumed the bits he would bite off them”. He confessed on the television program ‘Danny Dyer’s Deadliest Men’.
