A FRACAS at a Buckhurst Hill nightclub saw Big Brother star Jade Goody scuffling with a reveller and a bouncer, according to onlookers.

The TV celebrity was seen leaving The Players Lounge, in Queens Road, Buckhurst Hill, at 1am yesterday (Monday) after a fight with another partygoer.

One clubber told a national newspaper: "Jade went for the girl and they pulled each other's hair and then they had their hands round each other's necks."

Jade, 26, who lives in Pick Hill, Upshire, told the same newspaper: "I was provoked by some stranger. She tried to put a glass in my face. The bouncers in the club were really good and they sorted it all out very quickly."

A spokesman for the star said: "There was a fight and Jade was the victim of an unprovoked attack. She chose to leave the club of her own accord."

The Players Lounge has said it would not be making any comment on the incident.
