We stopped him and showed him out."Kate was reportedly found in the toilets looking "completely slaughtered".Security removed the couple from the ceremony at London's Hammersmith Palais at 8.30pm.Former Clash star Mick Jones replaced Kate to present the prestigious Godlike Genius award to Primal Scream.
