'Only Way Is Essex' Lydia Bright's boutique attacked by vandal

The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright's boutique was vandalised last night (June 22).

The Bella Sorella owner was in her shop at the time of the attack, according to an eye witness.

Shop worker Katie Corcoran told The Sun: "It was very frightening. The noise of shattering glass. I've never heard anything like it."

Speculating on the attacker's possible motives, she added: "I don't know if he was showing off or he was doing it to spite Lydia. No-one knows. I just saw him do it then he ran off and everyone went after him."

Bright was apparently in the shop with TOWIE co-star Lucy Mecklenburgh as well as her sister Georgia and mum Debbie.

Georgia chased the man alongside members of a film crew, who made a citizen's arrest and escorted him back to the shop where he was later arrested.

Last night, the boutique's official Twitter feed posted: "Unfortunately today Bella Sorella was vandalised. The suspect is in custody & the issue is being resolved. Open tomorrow as usual x."

A police spokesman said: "An 18-year-old man was arrested for criminal damage and received a caution."

Bright's fellow TOWIE cast member Lauren Goodger faced more serious damage to her salon in February.

Goodger's Lauren Way was petrol bombed by a group of vandals less than 24 hours after it opened.
