Dean Rowland has responded to his ex-fiancé Harry Derbidge's allegations he assaulted him on a night out and then left him stranded in London without a phone or money.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, Dean shared a lengthy post which claimed the TOWIE star, 27, had physically assaulted him 'several times', was a 'compulsive liar', drank 'too much' and pressured Dean to lie about their ongoing child adoption for publicity.
In the explosive social media post, Dean told of how his 'toxic relationship' with Harry left him suicidal and he called the police on the star's family for their 'disgusting behaviour' when they 'broke into his home and stole his dog' following their split.
'Those allegations are not true and fabricated': Dean Rowland has responded to his ex-fiancé Harry Derbidge's allegations that he assaulted him on a night out
Harry and Dean, who were engaged for two years, announced they had split up back in early October and it appears tensions rose after Dean got into a new relationship.
Dean wrote: 'I hate to have to share such personal information but this is needed. The night in question that Harry has referred to in his social media post. Yes, I indeed took my bag back off him as it was my bag, but at no point did I know that his phone was inside it as we had been out all day beforehand and he had been posting stories during that day.
'I even called his mum and his dad that night to let them know that we had an argument and that I took my bag off him, I found his phone inside my bag while on the phone with his mum so his family knew this. I just said to them he will probably come to one of their houses.
Sad: Harry claimed that his ex-fiancé Dean hit him on a night out and then left him stranded in central London without a phone or money
'His mum said on the phone to me that ‘He’s a bit of a nightmare’ after a drink. This was around 7 pm and after looking for him for 3 hours I went to my friend’s house as I was upset about how the evening ended.'
Dean went on to say Harry didn't mention any physical violence had occurred from the night after picking up his phone.
Not holding back, he said: 'Harry broke into my house with his mum, dad and brother late at night a week after our break up and stole one of the dogs off me which legally are both registered to me and in my name.
'He also tried to intimidate me where my sister had to call the police on them for their disgusting behaviour. When the police arrived I decided not to take anything further as I wanted to calm the situation as his mum was screaming all sorts outside of my house.'

Dean then addressed Harry's black eye, claiming he believes the make-up artist had created it with make-up.
'The tracksuit he is wearing in one of those pictures is clothing I packed up for him more than 3 weeks after that night which his dad collected from my house while my friend was there to witness this. So, he wouldn’t still have a black eye,' he wrote.
'Harry and I have stayed in contact for our business the whole time and never one had he ever mentioned any of this, we were even speaking the day before he did his post regarding Vets details for one of our dogs ‘Baby’.
'According to Harry he has been hidden away for 2 months which is a lie as he’s going to a local pub every night, nights out with friends, doing makeup appointments in Brentwood at a salon and in a salon in Kent more than once a week.
Two sides to the story: Dean claimed: 'Harry several times physically assaulted me, which I never took any further'
'He has also been filming TOWIE. He also messaged me the other day to let me know he’s working with a makeup training school and wanted to use Celebrity Brushes for it. Is this sounding shady yet? Keep reading.'
Addressing his own mental health, Dean revealed: 'Harry also knew our whole relationship that I had issues with mental health and used this to make me feel like sh*t on several occasions. I tried to take my own life twice in the last 6 months of our toxic relationship.
'As I wanted to end our relationship on many occasions but was made to feel like I couldn’t survive without him and I also know that he has a very spiteful sting in his tale with lies and most of the time thought it would be easier to stay with him because of the business and our dogs.
'He stated he was abused on several occasion during our relationship which comes as complete news to me. Harry several times physically assaulted me, which I never took any further.
Bruised? Dean then addressed Harry's black eye explaining that he has been told by professionals that the picture is 'makeup and mixed with photoshop and facetune etc'
'Harry’s post stated he has given me everything and left him nothing which is not true as I gave him everything he wanted, I also even said to him that I would help him get a flat so he could live independently.'
Explaining how the social media spat began, Dean wrote: 'All this started after I said I was going to go public about it as he withdrew money from our business account illegally and it was never discussed or signed off by all directors.
'I posted what I think was a nice post touching on the end of our relationship in which he told me he was doing the same and Whatsapped me the screenshots of what he was going to say, not once did he ever mention anything he claims in his recent post.
'The breakdown of our relationship was always to do with how much alcohol Harry drank and the fact that he was a compulsive liar.'
Hitting back at his ex's allegations, Dean wrote: 'Harry’s lies don’t come as a surprise' as he detailed the star had made him lie about adopting a child to get on Loose Women
Dean then said of his new romance: 'Harry found out last weekend that I’ve moved on. For some people, this may seem soon, but we broke up way before any stories went out or any posts.
'Steven and I have been friends for 5 years and is the one person that I have always been in love with but unfortunately, the timing was never right, we reconnected after me being single and I can honestly
