A man who left his partner with injuries which could have required plastic surgery said he deserved to go to prison.

The abuser, who has remained anonymous, has spoken out about the abuse he subjected his partner to as part of a campaign to prevent the rise of domestic violence of Christmas.

Domestic violence charities have said they have seen an increase in the number of abusive men coming forward wanting to stop their violent behaviour.

"There was talk of plastic surgery, that's how bad it was, from just one punch," said the man who referred himself to a 27-week counselling course.
