ANDREW Tate flew into a rage after his punchbag was dressed in women's clothes as a joke, his former girlfriend claims.

The ex-kickboxer – who remains behind bars in Romania – is said to have called his former flame and her friend "b****es" after they pulled the prank.

The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, told Rolling Stone she visited Tate and his brother Tristan at their home in 2009.

She and a pal decided to put women's clothes on his punchbag for a laugh, pose by his Porsche and do a photo shoot with his kickboxing championship belts.

But she claims it backfired when he spotted photos of the stunts on Facebook.

Tate – who the woman described as "an exceptionally lame guy" – became angry and threw insults at the pair and they never spoke again.

She told the outlet: "It was a bit sad.

"It showed me a different side to him I hadn't seen before."

The same year, Tate took part in reality TV contest Ultimate Traveller in which six inexperienced backpackers compete for £10,000.

He left with an eye infection after a few weeks, but one source close to the production claimed to Rolling Stone that he lied to other contestants and tried to manipulate them.

Another insider claimed he became furious at another competitor after they taunted him for getting paint everywhere.

They added: "He seemed a little bit insecure, to be honest with you."

Other insiders, who knew the Tate brothers, claim Tristan acts like his older brother's lapdog and the pair have a "very odd" relationship.

Tate, 36, and his younger brother Tristan, 34, were arrested on December 29 amid a probe into rape and human trafficking allegations. and have been languishing in a hellhole prison ever since.

Much of his obscene £6million supercar collection – including three Porches – was impounded by cops.

Andrew was denied bail at a hearing on Tuesday and Tristan also lost his bid to be released under house arrest on Wednesday.

Judge Gabriela Risnoveanu, a Bucharest Court spokesperson told The Sun: "Their requests have been rejected.

“Tristan Tate had asked for the arrest to be replaced with judicial control on bail, while Luana Radu had asked for the arrest to be replaced with domicile arrest.

“The decision can be appealed in 48 hours.”

It comes after a judge last month rejected Tate's latest appeal against his arrests and ordered him to spend another 30 days behind bars.

The brothers had already lost two previous appeals against prior 30-day extensions that have kept them behind bars while investigations continued.

Tate has repeatedly moaned about life behind bars on social media and through emails to his subscribers.

In an email, he complained about the "blistering cold" while being "locked in a box".

And in another, he launched a thinly veiled attack on his supporters from his jail cell, saying he needs “better people”.
