London's Groucho Club has played host to some of the most legendary celebrity bust-ups on record over the years, but few can match the shenanigans which took place at the livelySoho watering hole earlier this week.
On Tuesday night, a bizarre altercation took place at the bar between the supermodel Kate Moss and TV journalist Jaci Stephen, who was there as a guest at the Daily Mail's Christmas party.
The row kicked off after Stephen had finished a singalong at the club's piano with the actor Max Beesley and asked Moss if she could sign her cardboard invite to the Mail's party.
"She was really nice to me at first, but as soon as she discovered I worked for the Mail she refused to give the invitation back and started scribbling all over it," says Stephen. "Since I'm leaving the Mail on Sunday I really wanted to keep hold of it as a souvenir, but when I demanded Kate hand it over she suddenly began screaming at me, shouting 'I'm not going to give it to you.'"
A spokesman for Moss wouldn't comment on the incident yesterday, but by all accounts it sounds as though Stephen was lucky to walk away at the end of the night with both her eyeballs intact.
"Eventually I did manage to get the invitation back, but Kate almost had to be held off from hitting me," she adds. "In the end, her best friend went and dragged her off into another room."
