Actor in Wonder Woman costume started bar fight with her fiancée'

A COUPLE dressed as Bat Girl and Wonder Woman got into a fight at a karaoke bar when a row over a “poke” descended into violence, a court heard

- 

Joanna Downing, 39, and Miriam Ahmed, 38, who has made appearances as an actress on Coronation Street, Holby City and Skins, wore superhero costumes for a day out with friends to celebrate their forthcoming marriage, and ended the evening at Karaoke Box in Farringdon.

But their day concluded with police being called to a fight in one of the singing booths, Southwark crown court heard. Downing, dressed as Bat Girl, is accused of grabbing Lucy Ratcliff by the throat and pulling her hair, while her now-wife Ahmed — in a Wonder Woman costume — is accused of throwing a series of punches.

Jurors heard the couple had spent the day on July 24, 2021 playing drinking games with friends at the Sky Bar in east London on a “hag do”.
