A MAN shocked the internet after he issued the girl he'd been seeing for six months with a "rule book" before her Magaluf girls' holiday.

Josh Utting, 20, from Nuneaton, told 18-year-old Lucy that she wasn't allowed to talk to, look at or take photographs with other boys, do drugs or be a wingman to her mates.

The demanding list was shared on Twitter by Ashleigh Greenway, who wrote: "Josh Utting is an absolute PSYCHO, imagine writing a list of rules for Lucy and he's not even with her 'no eye contact' LMAO."

The post has been liked nearly 10,000 times since it was shared on Monday, with many calling Josh a "weirdo" and "abusive".

Josh told UNILAD that the list was "written purely just for a joke" and it was never "actually meant to be taken seriously".

He said Lucy agreed to the terms on the list, as long as he also obeyed them on his break.

Josh later added: "It wasn't fully sent as a joke - obviously I didn't want her to get with other lads on holiday, I just made the rules sound extreme for a laugh."

Josh said he and Lucy had agreed to be exclusive to each other over the holiday.

But then, one of Lucy's mates sent UNILAD a video of him getting with someone else.

Lucy told the publication: "We were seeing each other for about 5/6 months then stopped due to him sleeping with others girls while seeing me.

"Then we were going to try again because he told me he was in love with me - he made the rules for us to both stick to while on holiday.

"I stuck to them and he slept with four girls in a week and in his words: 'If I didn't pull I'd pull one of the girls from the night before.'"

Josh said he was "drunk" when he got with other women and regrets doing it.

However, Lucy has said she's "never going back there".
