Man accused of cruise ship assault tells court he was 'simply trying to defend his YouTuber girlfiend' A financial adviser accused of beating up a family during a late night buffet onboard a cruise ship told a court he was simply trying to defend his YouTuber girlfriend. Paul Evans, who previously worked as a stockbroker, denied kicking 21 year old Alice Gardner 'like he was taking a penalty' as a brawl erupted, claiming he would never hurt a woman. The 45 year old told the court he was making camomile tea for himself and his partner, Tabatha Young, when he spotted her being 'pinned' to the ground in the P&O Royal Britannia's Horizon buffet.
