Alexander Skeel (born 1995) is a domestic violence survivor whose near-fatal injuries at the hands of his girlfriend, Jordan Worth, in 2017 attracted widespread media coverage. Worth "controlled, beat, stabbed, starved and tortured Skeel, leaving him with severed tendons, fluid on the brain and burns", and prevented him from receiving medical treatment for injuries. Worth became the first woman to be convicted of the United Kingdom's coercive control offence and in 2018 was jailed for a total of seven and half years for her crimes. Skeel has been interviewed numerous times in the media about the abuse he suffered and his story was told in a BBC Three documentary Abused By My Girlfriend which was first shown in February 2019. He is an Ambassador for domestic violence charity The ManKind Initiative.
