on 26th November 2008
Kate Moss and boyfriend Jamie Hince played down some mysterious cuts and bruises saying it was a 'Christmas decoration accident.'
The supermodel arrived at the Christmas lights switch-on at Stella McCartney’s Mayfair shop on Monday with The Kills guitarist Hince, with scrapes down her cheek, while Hince was sporting a black eye.
But as eyebrows were raised among the other guests, they quashed any rumours by saying it was the result of a bizarre accident involving holly and baubles.

'He said he was on a ladder and she was waiting at the bottom for him to pass down the boxes of decorations.
