He was bailed to appear at the higher court on January 24.

Sarah Perkins, prosecuting, said Bromby and the woman had a four year relationship during which time he made pornographic videos together.

When the couple split up Bromby became jealous when he knew she was out with other men.

The prosecutor said that Bromby confronted her in Blackpool town centre and stole her mobile phone and banged her head against a wall.

The films were made when she and Bromby were partners.
