Former Happy Mondays star Bez has been jailed for four weeks after assaulting his ex-girlfriend during a row over money
Bez accused the mother of his two-year-old son of stealing his cash and flew into a rage as he put his hands round her neck and throttled her.
He was originally given a community order at Manchester Magistrates court and asked to pay £450 in costs.
But he told chair of the magistrates' bench Marie Cash that he would not obey the sentence, and protested his innocence.
"I'm not doing it. Bothered. I'm going to appeal and take this to a real court," he said.
In response Ms Cash told the former Celebrity Big Brother winner he was going to jail for one month.
Bez, who represented himself, shouted, "Victory is in my grasp" as he was handcuffed and taken to the cells.
