Jade club accused ’did not do it’ - April 27 2007
A hairdresser blamed by Jade Goody for a savage attack on a boyband singer in a nightclub broke down in court, telling jurors: "I simply did not do it".
Zoe Sigorney, of
The 28-year-old - who denies wounding with intent - burst into tears as she was being questioned and told jurors: "Should I be standing here for something I simply did not do?"
She added: "It is not fair, you would not like to be in my shoes."
Earlier this week Jade, 25, of Chipping Ongar, Essex, told the court how she had seen a woman matching Zoe Sigorney’s description hit the singer over the head with a beer bottle then push the broken remains in to the side of his neck.
The hairdresser said Jerome Simeon had been abusive to her and then started fighting with one of her friends.
She said she had attempted to pull him away from the fight.
"I just hit Mr Simeon on the back," she said. "I pulled his jumper holding on to his back."
The hearing continues tomorrow.

And the 25-year-old reality TV star, from Chipping Ongar, Essex, will give evidence for the prosecution, jurors were told. Sigorney, 28, of
Prosecutor Ian Wade told the jury of eight men and four women that Jerome Simeon - who works in Germany - was injured after being attacked in the Sky nightclub in Ware, Hertfordshire, in February last year.
He said the singer had gone to the nightclub with a friend and had met Jade after arriving. The pair were dancing together and with other people, when he became involved in a fight with a man - thought to be Sigorney’s husband Wayne - before being hit over the head with a beer bottle by the hairdresser.
Mr Wade said: "Miss Goody saw what happened. She will give you her own account in her own style of what she saw."
He added: "We all know Jade Goody’s life has gone through a lot of turmoil. When this happened it was before she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother."
He went on: "You may take the view that what happened to Jade subsequently has nothing to do with this case. Or you may take the view, ’Knowing what I know about Jade Goody I will view her evidence in that light’."

Jade caused a tabloid frenzy the minute she walked into the BB house with her idiotic questions and unbelievable lack of common sense. She asked if East Anglia was near Tunisia and if Cambridge was in London, she took her clothes off to reveal her ’kebab’, administered the infamous PJ BJ and got a minging verruca.
The tabloids branded her a fat pig and she bitched about all of her fellow housemates openly but somehow she made it through to the final four and gained thousands of fans along the way. When Jade left the house, she was interviewed on any and every chat show in the country, appeared on the cover of Heat five times (she was even their biggest selling cover star) and even had a Channel 4 follow up documentary, What Jade Did Next, made about her in the weeks following her eviction.
Having dropped three dress sizes in matter of months, the Bermondsey girl made one of the most successful exercise videos ever, even beating skinny Geri Halliwell’s yoga workout effort to the top DVD chart spot. In the meantime Jade fell in love with Jeff Brazier, Shipwrecked’s Essex wide boy and became pregnant with her first son, Bobby. Jeff and Jade have been on an off ever since, but have recently opened a tanning salon and beauty parlour together following Jade’s qualification as a beauty therapist.
Jade Goody remains a reality TV show legend most recently appearing in Celebrity Wife Swap with Millionaire cheat Major Charles Ingram while heavily pregnant and hormonal and Back To Reality, Five’s flop Big Brother rip off in which Jade showed the nation she hadn’t learnt anything new, asking James Hewitt if he’d been ’sworded’ and if wood pigeons were like ferrets.
