 Ioan Gruffudd has branded his estranged wife Alice Evans a 'child abuser'. The Titanic actor, 49, made the accusation against 55-year-old Alice as their custody battle over their daughters Ella, 13, and her sister Elsie, nine, grows increasingly bitter. Court documents filed in Los Angeles reveal Ioan said: 'Alice has continued to inflict serious emotional harm on Ella and Elsie by her statements and by interfering in my relationship with them. 'Alice has verbally abused and undermined me in front of the girls throughout their lives.' The documents, seen by MailOnline, also state: 'Since January 2021, Alice has also encouraged and instructed them not to see me or communicate with me. 'She has made thousands of threatening and abusive communications to me and about me.'

He is now claiming Alice has 'violated the restraining order repeatedly and continues to do so to this day'. It emerged in July their daughter Ella had filed a restraining order against him, which he now blames on Alice, and he has accused her of stopping their girls attending counselling. He added in the new court filing: 'Although there is an order for the girls to attend therapy, Alice has repeatedly either refused to bring the girls or interfered with my bringing the girls to therapy.
