Collins pleaded not guilty to nine counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH) and five counts of causing grievous bodily harm (GBH).

Jurors heard how the attack, which left two people partially blind, was planned by Collins and his co-defendant Andre Phoenix but he was found not-guilty of all charges after three days of deliberation.

Collins admitted to throwing the liquid but said he believed it was a date rape drug.

Theguilty verdict comes just less than two weeks after reality star Fernegave birth to his daughter, Sunday. He told the courthe was at the club celebrating his then-girlfriends pregnancy, which she announced to her familyjust one daybefore the incident.

It was revealed in court that the new dad sent his sister a text a week before the attack, which read: "Tell mum to mind that little hand wash in my car - acid."

The jury was shown CCTV of him throwing acid over Andre's shoulder, hitting one of his victims in the face and footage that showed him throw the substance at clubbers a further two times.

Our thoughts are with the victims of the attack.
