Real Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn Ward allegedly told a Jewish woman to “shut up you little disease” during a drunken tirade at a London train station, a court heard today
Ward allegedly hurled abuse at Jewish brothers Jake and Sam Jacobs at London Euston back in October 2019.
The Jacob brothers were said to be asking customer services why trains were delayed when the 48-year-old reality star allegedly drunkenly approached them saying: "Why do you lot always complain?”

Inner London Crown Court, sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice, also heard Ward called Jewish woman Samantha Eisner, who is the girlfriend of Jake Jacobs, a “little disease”.
Ward was also allegedly found with cocaine in a cigarette packet.
She denies two counts of racially aggravated harassment and possession of cocaine.
Giving evidence today, Miss Eisner said: “I didn’t notice her until she started speaking to us when we were at the information desk.
“She said ‘Why are you lot always complaining?’ and I replied ‘What do you mean?’
“She said to the boys ‘you Jewish c***s' and then she continued to say to me that I was a little disease.
“I don't think we had much of a response because we were shocked, we were upset.
“It was awful, I was upset and my grandpa was in Auschwitz and survived Auschwitz. It was such a long time ago, you think it’s stopped and it’s still going on.
“We were upset enough that we involved the police because we thought it was important. It was really upsetting.”
She said after her partner walked away to phone the police, Ward repeatedly told her and Sam Jacobs: “I’m not a racist, I’m not a racist.”
