Kate's no ice maiden

She may be one half of the coolest couples on earth, but when a flying chunk of ice hit her head, Kate Moss was raging.

The supermodel had been scheduled to perform, along with boyfriend Pete, at a friend's birthday shindig at a club in London.

As the drinks flowed, Kate and her friends started playing around by lobbing chunks of ice at each other.

Sources at the club said it was "all a bit of a laugh" until one of the frozen projectiles made impact with Kate's forehead.

The model, whose prized looks are worth over £15 million, was left with a swelling on her head.

When someone joked that she should put some ice on the swelling to help it go down, it was a jibe too far and the model fled through the back doors of the club sporting a bowler hat to hide the throbbing lump.

Kate's boyfriend Pete had just arrived in a cab to perform a duet but the model jumped into the awaiting vehicle and the pair sped away.
