Famous comedian ‘escorted out’ of Sir Mick Jagger’s birthday party after embarrassing incident

Comedian and Celebs Go Dating narrator Rob Beckett has revealed he was ‘frogmarched’ out of Rolling Stones legend Sir Mick Jagger’s 82nd birthday party after a night of heavy drinking.

Beckett, 38, scored an invite to the exclusive celebration at Chelsea hotspot The Rex Rooms as the plus one of fellow comic Jimmy Carr.

The star-studded guest list included Ronnie Wood, Sacha Baron Cohen, broadcaster Mariella Frostrup, and fashion icon Lulu Guinness – but Beckett’s rock ‘n’ roll evening ended in a rather less glamorous fashion.

Speaking on The Parenting Hell podcast with co-host Josh Widdicombe, Beckett admitted he’d arrived at the bash already several drinks deep, having spent the earlier part of the evening celebrating at Oasis’s long-awaited reunion gig at Wembley Stadium.

‘It was a tiny little back room and Mick Jagger was there,’ Beckett recalled.

‘Obviously, a lot of his ex-wives and children from his ex-wives. There was Mariella Frostrup, someone Guinness – Lulu – this sort of fashion lady who looked like Lady Gaga, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ronnie Wood… It was really nice. They were really chatty and hospitable.’

While Beckett briefly greeted the Rolling Stones frontman, he confessed he never struck up a proper conversation with Jagger, who was holding court in a separate room.

Instead, he spent time chatting to Ronnie Wood and his wife Sally, all while realising he was becoming far too drunk to hold his own among rock royalty.

‘I’ve had six pints of lager, two espresso martinis, and I’d say a bottle and a half of rosé,’ Beckett admitted.

‘I’m stood there wearing a Stone Island anorak with a vodka and soda after being on a motorbike, chatting to Ronnie and Sally Wood and Jimmy Carr, and I’m just talking absolute s***.’

Sensing the situation was spiralling, Beckett said he decided to make an exit – but it wasn’t exactly a discreet one.

‘I got like frogmarched out by four people that were holding on to me,’ he laughed. ‘Maybe I got kicked out, I don’t know! They’re walking me out like they’re extracting me, like I’m a Rolling Stone and there’s 10,000 people trying to grab me.’

The party continued without him, but Beckett still remembers the night happily: ‘It was one of the best nights of my life,’ he insisted, despite – or perhaps because of – his rock ‘n’ roll-worthy ejection.
