GIRLS Aloud singer Cheryl Tweedy promised to "finish the job" moments after punch-ing a nightclub toilet attendant in a row over a handful of lollipops, a court heard yesterday.

Miss Tweedy allegedly made the comments in the club's VIP area, where she had been taken after her altercation with 39-year-old Sophie Amogbokpa, Kingston Crown Court was told.

The North-East singer allegedly punched Mrs Amogbokpa in the face during a row in the toilets at the Drink nightclub in Guildford, Surrey, on January 11.

It has been alleged that the dispute started when Miss Tweedy took some lollipops from the toilet without leaving the customary tip.

Miss Tweedy, of Heaton, Newcastle, denies racially aggravated assault occasioning actual bodily harm and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Philip White, head of security at the club, said he had taken Miss Tweedy to the VIP area after marching her out of the toilets to defuse the row.

The doorman said he had been alerted to the incident by Miss Tweedy's fellow band member Nicola Roberts, who ran out of the toilets to tell him there was trouble with the attendant.

Mr White said that, as he rushed into the ladies' lavatory, he saw Miss Tweedy standing within an arm's distance of Mrs Amogbokpa.The two were screaming at each other.

He said he saw the pop star land a 'right hook' on the toilet attendant, sending her spectacles flying.

Mr White said Miss Tweedy was "very, very aggressive, very abusive" and that he picked her up and took her to the other end of the lavatory to calm her down.

He said Miss Tweedy was trying to break free from his grip and saying she was "going to finish the job", shouting "I am going to do you" to the toilet attendant.

Mr White said: "We have been told to be more gentle with females because of some of the allegations you get but she was very strong, a very strong young lady.''

He said that while Miss Tweedy struggled, the toilet attendant was sitting on her stool looking stunned and shocked.

The case continues.
