Actress Samantha Morton was kicked out of Sir Elton John's mansion, after destroying one of his prized pieces at a dinner party.

The Alberto Giacometti sculpture, said to be worth tens of thousands of pounds, was destroyed during a dinner party at John’s swanky abode in London's Holland Park.

The party, hosted by Elizabeth Hurley and Elton's partner David Furnish, was celebrating the launch of London's new Versace store.

Elton was away in New York at the time but is alleged to be distraught at the loss of the prized statue.

The UK Daily Mirror reports an unnamed partygoer spilling the details: "Judging by David's appalled reaction the statue was obviously worth a lot of money. He seemed very flustered and worried.

"He was hosting the party without Elton and the last thing he needed was for something like this to happen."
Furnish's spokesperson says, "A smashed sculpture won't overshadow what was a fantastic evening, raising money for a breast cancer charity."

The Nottingham born Morton will be seen in the anticipated upcoming film Control, directed by Anton Corbjin, playing Deborah Curtis, wife of Ian Curtis, the enigmatic singer of Joy Division whose myriad of troubles led him to commit suicide at the age of 23.
