The Independent - 2nd Feb 2006, by Daniel Silk on Feb 2, 2006 14:06:37 GMT 1, Another day, another dollop of fallout from Melvyn Bragg's South Bank Show awards, which took place at the Savoy on Friday.
Yesterday, I learnt that the graffiti artist Banksy had given his ticket for the swanky bash to a Big Issue seller called Steve.
Now comes news of a shouty altercation between Tracey Emin and the Glaswegian opera director David McVicar at the after-show party.
"Tracey and David both tried to grab the same drink," reports an onlooker. "There wasn't much booze around, so things got rather nasty.
"I saw them call each other a c-word. Goodness knows what happened after that, but McVicar ended up running away in tears."
Yesterday, Emin took full responsibility for the row. A spokesman blamed excess alcohol, and admitted she'd later been taken sick. "Tracey should never have gone out on that day. And if so, never alone. She's so ashamed that she's leaving the country."
