A HAIRDRESSER to the stars was allegedly assaulted by his stepson, a court heard.

Raphael Yadgaroff appeared in court for assaulting the celebrity hairdresser who is famous for cutting the hair of music and TV stars like Kylie Minogue and Royalty.

However, technical problems in playing video footage prevented the trial of Yadgaroff going ahead at Worcester Magistrates Court yesterday following the alleged assault in Pershore.

Magistrates apologised to all parties for the unforeseen technical issues. The allegation is that Daniel Galvin Jnr was assaulted by his own stepson in a row at the family's luxury £1.5million Georgian farmhouse in Pershore.

Yadgaroff denies the offence. The court heard at an earlier hearing that Mr Galvin had two surgeries for a depressed fracture to the arch of his cheekbone following the alleged assault.

Police were called after Mr Galvin, who counts Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Kylie Minogue and Amanda Holden among his high-profile clients, was allegedly set upon by the son of his wife Suzanna.

The 31-year-old defendant of Hayes Close, Bristol denies assault occasioning actual bodily harm on June 18 this year.

A new trial date of December 6 was fixed at Worcester Magistrates Court. The defendant, represented by Richard Hull, was granted unconditional to attend that hearing.
