Disgraced Celebrity Big Brother winner Bez was sent to jail after branding his assault conviction as a ''travesty'' during an amazing courtroom rant. Amid dramatic scenes the 46-year old freaky Happy Mondays dancer - who won the Channel 4 reality show in 2005 - was locked away for four weeks after angrily refusing an offer to do unpaid work. When asked by JPs if that meant going to prison he replied: "If that's the case I am a tax payer- I may a well get some use out of my money." The star - real name Mark Berry - has tried to strangle ex-fiancee Monica Ward in an ''insane'' rampage in front of their two year old son Leo after he accused her of stealing money from the child's trust fund. Bez - who went bankrupt two years ago - also dragged former model Monica towards the door of their flat before and pinned her up against a door. He then left before returning an hour later and kicking the front door to the £250,000 flat in Whalley Range, Manchester from its hinges. Singer Monica, 43, who dated Bez for five years claimed the assault formed a ''history of abuse'' he carried out towards her. At Manchester magistrates court Bez was found guilty of common assault and using violence to secure entry. The story featured in the Daily Star and other newspapers after Cavendish Press covered the court case.
