James Blunt Attacks Burglar With An Award

Mr insipid, James Blunt, had a dramatic confrontation with a burglar and managed to stop the thief in his tracks by hitting him with a Best Newcomer gong.

Blunt was in his hotel room and woke up at 5am to discover a thief in his room.

He explained to The Sun: It’s a big, solid lump, so I picked it up and whacked him. He then threw himself off the balcony and ran away.
 
“I had just picked up an award for Best Newcomer at the NRJ awards. It was pitch black in the room so I couldn’t really see anything. I was looking for a phone to ring downstairs, or for an emergency button to push. But the only thing I could find was my NRJ award.

"He wasn’t looking for me in particular - it was completely random. He must have climbed up some scaffolding, over the balcony and climbed in through my window."

He joked: "It would be good to win a Brit Award - you never know when it might come in handy to use on burglars."
