Noel Fielding and Steve Coogan made an unlikely pulling team until well into the early hours today.


After scooping honours at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards  -  Noel was comedian of the year and Steve actor of the year  -  they headed off into the night.

Noel's girlfriend Dee Plume, from electro band Robots In Disguise, was with him at Bungalow 8 in Covent Garden, but things didn't go to plan.

One witness said: 'Noel was all over the shop. He was in high spirits, but had clearly drunk a lot.

'He spent a lot of time on the stairs with a brunette girl in a grey dress, who kept trying to drag him into the toilets.

'Later he bought a few rounds of shots for a group of girls. By the end of the night Dee was in such a state that she even asked the snappers outside the club if they had seen him. She looked pretty embarrassed and upset.'

Noel, 33, and Steve, 42 - who also has a girlfriend China Chow, daughter of restaurateur Michael Chow - were pictured diving into a cab with two girls at about 3.45am, en route for the Met Bar in Mayfair.

But they only stayed for five minutes before moving on to the Intercontinental hotel in Park Lane.

Although he tried to duck away from the photographers, Noel was fooling no one in his trademark flamboyant clothes, this time sporting leggings, gold boots and a shiny black jacket.

Laughing at his own style earlier in the night, Noel said: 'I can't believe I won a man of the year award as I'm always wearing women's clothing.'

Also during the ceremony, at the Royal Opera House, he ended up throwing a punch in the smoking area.

We can see you... Noel attempted to keep hidden as they left in a cab

An onlooker said: 'A guy tried to start a fight with a few of Noel's mates, so he hit him. Some glasses were smashed, and Noel gave him verbal dressing down.'

While Steve and Noel may seem unlikely partners, one talking point is that they've both been linked with Kurt Cobain's ex Courtney Love.

It was rumoured she was pregnant with Steve's baby a few years ago, and last year Noel spent a lot of time with her in various hotels around London.
