A glamour model who bit off part of woman’s ear in a road rage argument has been jailed for five years.

Chloe Hammond, 27, was confronted by another driver for using her phone behind the wheel of her Audi TT while in traffic.

Julie Holloway, 56, tapped on her window to tell her to stop, and Hammond then lunged at her and bit down on her ear ‘like a dog with a chew toy’ on London’s Embankment. Hammond – also known as Chloe Rebelle – blared her horn then parked her silver convertible nearby before returning to kick Holloway in the stomach, causing her to double over, reports the Metro.

Hammond then grabbed Ms Holloway’s hair and bit into her ear as the victim’s horrified friends Michael Gallego and Stephen Vernon looked on.

Holloway, who was crossing the road from the Walkabout bar to a Soul Boat party, did not realise part of her ear was missing ‘until someone picked it up off the floor’.

She wept as she explained from behind screens how she has since undergone reconstructive surgery following the incident which was captured on CCTV and mobile phones on March 19.

Hammond  claimed she acted in self-defence and offered to take a lie detector test to prove her honesty.

But she was convicted of causing grievous bodily harm with intent after a trial at Southwark Crown Court in October.

Judge Philip Bartle QC jailed her for five years today. He accepted that she was ‘genuinely remorseful’ for the ‘appalling’ attack and noted that she has no previous convictions.

Holloway had told the court she was verbally abused by Hammond before she ‘came out of nowhere’ and kicked her in the stomach.

‘I felt her bite my ear. I couldn’t get her off me because she just lunged on to my ear.’ ‘There was blood all over me, there was blood all over one of the girls and I just didn’t know that my ear had gone missing as such until someone picked it up off the floor.

‘It’s quite disturbing to say the least.’ Hammond drove off but voluntarily attended an interview at Charing Cross Police Station two days later.

She accused Holloway of ‘banging on her vehicle causing dents to the side’ as well as calling her a ‘Botox bitch’.
