Updated: Corden, Stewart in on-stage bust-up

James Corden and Patrick Stewart had an on-stage bust-up at last night's Glamour 'Women Of The Year' awards in London.

The spat seemingly started when Stewart criticised the night's host Corden for his demeanour while stars were being given their awards, The Daily Telegraph reports.

Stewart said: "I want to speak to James here. When the presenters are up here and when the recipients are receiving their awards, don't stand at the back of the stage with your hands in your pockets, looking around as if you wished you were anywhere but here."

Corden retorted: "Oh, you couldn't be more wrong, sir. Genuinely. I'm so sorry, but when you come up and present an award, just f**king get on with it."

Stewart continued: "From where I was sitting I could see your belly, and that was right over there at the back of the room. These people down here..."

Corden responded: "I'm waiting for the punchline. Go on. No, seriously, go on. No, go on! You could see my belly, and we can all see you dying right now."

When Stewart later gave Zoe Saldana the 'Actress Of The Year' gong, the Avatar star said to Corden: "I like your belly - but I'd like to see Sir Patrick Stewart dying on stage any day."

Later in the ceremony, Cordon quipped. "I feel bad for people who haven't seen my belly." He then lifted up his T-shirt to applause from the audience.

Speaking about the incident after the show, Corden said: "I sound like my mum. I wasn't angry. I found it quite disappointing. You should ask him about it but I'm certain he's left.''
