Actor in food fight with cross-dressers

Actor Keith Allen was embroiled in a food fight with two transvestites in a London restaurant which ended with them chasing him.

The dispute erupted at the Stockpot in Soho, where Allen, 56, was dining with critic Victor Lewis-Smith when the pair were approached by the cross-dressers.

Allen, father of singer Lily Allen, said one dropped a handbag in his food so he squirted them with mustard.

They waited until he left and chased him until a policeman stepped in.
