A BRITISH woman claims she was “glassed by a jealous air hostess” on a night out with former world champion Amir Khan.
Bia Hannides, 22, was **ing with the star in an exclusive club in Dubai on Sunday night when she says the woman attacked her.
Bia, on holiday in Dubai with mum Denise, 53, said she was introduced to Khan on Sunday – two days after his very public split from his wife of four years, 26-year-old Faryal Makhdoom.
They swapped numbers and she was thrilled when the star invited her to join him at the exclusive Billionaire Mansion club that night.
"We were all with Amir and he was keeping it very close knit,” she told The Mirror.
“He had his hands around my waist and was flirting a bit – but in a really friendly way.”
But Bia said it all turned sour when another woman tried to join their **.
"Maybe because Amir wasn’t giving her the time of day, she was jealous.
“Next thing she went to hit me, but I was with it, so I grabbed her wrist – and with her other hand she glassed me straight in the face.”
Bia was rushed to hospital with a gaping wound over her eye, fearing she would lose her sight.
She was there for 12 hours having stitches and doctors have told her she will be permanently scarred.
Bia, from Southampton, said: “I could have lost my eye and now my life is ruined. I will never be able to go into a club again and I’m probably going to need surgery when I get home.”
But she claimed Khan offered no help after the attack because he was allegedly worried about attracting “bad press”.
The next day the boxer, 30, sent Bia a message saying: “I get punched in the face for a living and still get the best girls. Same for you.”
