'H&A' star's dad attacks ex-boyfriend

The father of Home and Away actress Jodi Gordon has verbally attacked his daughter's ex-boyfriend Ryan Stokes following the couple's recent separation.

Speaking to Australia's Sunday Telegraph, Ray Gordon branded Stokes a "wuss" for walking out on his daughter after she was embroiled in a bizarre cocaine and gangster scandal. Gordon also attacked Stokes's privileged upbringing, claiming that Stokes spent his life "living in a bubble".

"I feel like wringing his neck because he didn't look after my girl," he told the newspaper. "If he was a real man, he wouldn't be hiding like he is, he's a wuss."

Earlier this month, after police were called to a Sydney apartment following reports armed gunmen were about to storm the property, the 24-year-old actress was found cowering in the bedroom of a suspected gangster just days after being reported missing by Stokes.

Gordon, who stars as Summer Bay favourite Martha, allegedly later confessed to police that cocaine had been consumed earlier in the day.

When asked how his daughter was coping with the publicity surrounding the scandal and her relationship break-up, Mr Gordon said: "Mate, she's as tough as a pig in s**t."
