Church's ex pays for U.K. pub brawl

CARDIFF, Wales, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- The ex-boyfriend of British singer Charlotte Church was thrown in jail for a year this week after a fight at a Cardiff pub.

Kyle Johnson, his twin brother, Kertis, and two other lads were arrested Tuesday for violent disorder after allegedly beating up two other men outside a Cardiff, Wales, club.

Johnson received a 1-year jail sentence from the judge, who called the incident "street violence at its worst."

A friend of Church told the Daily Mirror that the singer would be devastated to learn about the incident and the subsequent jailing of the 21-year-old Johnson.

Church and Johnson broke up on Valentine's Day after what the newspaper called a "stormy" 18-month relationship.
