Former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky has finally opened up on his epic fight at the Alberta Springs Golf Resort.

Tarnasky has given new meaning to the word “Bang” while avoiding charges, having been filmed tossing a golfer into a lake and calling out his punches while pummelling the poor guy.

He gave his side of the story on the ‘Spittin Chiclets’ podcast this week, revealing he had to speak with the other guy, whose two-man party was taking 20-25 minutes per hole and refusing to let others play through.

He approached them on the 15th hole to ask them to speed things up, but was instead attacked.

“He was fist-clenching, pumping his arms. I gave him every opportunity not to get involved,” he said. “But he charged at me. I’m not going to fold over. That’s not my nature.”

As you must have seen, Nick promptly shoved the man, who has since identified himself as Trevor Ogilvie, into the pond. But he came back for more.

Fortunately for him, Tarnasky was still in a “fun” mood.

“I was just trying to have fun with it,” Tarnasky claimed. “I’m fighting on a golf course — I don’t even know what’s going on here.”

As for Ogilvie, he was apologetic after the viral moment, making his own video in which he claimed he had “Played 36 holes,” “drank way too much,” and his “mouth ran faster than my brain.”

Nick Tarnasky admitted he regretted that the whole thing had ever happened, but said he would not change his reaction.

“I respect the course and the people there. But when you challenge that many people, eventually someone’s going to say, ‘Okay, let’s go.’”

Meanwhile, local police have closed their investigations, with no charges being filed, but the former player’s youth hockey team is looking into the matter.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
