Sex Pistols hellraiser Johnny Rotten was last night accused of punching a female TV assistant while working as a celebrity judge on a U.S. reality show.

Roxane Davis claimed the punk rocker - whose real name is John Lydon - made her 'fear for her life' after flying into a rage.

The personal assistant claimed in court papers that Lydon, 52, suddenly went berserk and hit her in the face before screaming a tirade of abuse at her.

Miss Davis, who was working on the TV show, Bodog Battle of the Bands, alleged the singer became angry after discovering his hotel room did not have an adjoining door to his own personal assistant's room.

In court papers filed at Los Angeles Superior Court, Miss Davis claimed the I'm a Celebrity... star launched a vile four-letter tirade before describing her as a 'fat whore' during the row at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in LA on January 23 last year...........

Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon left rising star Duffy in tears after a furious spat at last night's Mojo Awards.

It is understood the Welsh songstress attempted to hug and greet the ageing rocker but he shrugged her off by swinging his arm, inadvertently knocking her off balance before launching into a four letter tirade at her.

A source told the Daily Mail: 'She tried to talk to him about [the incident] but in his typical fashion he wasn't having any of it. He was really quite unpleasant.'.................
