Elton John and Lily Allen nearly came to blows last night at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards in London.

The bickering kicked off when Elton and Lily took centre stage to host an award.

The Smile singer, who was reportedly slurring her words from too much champagne, told the audience , "And now for the most important part of the night..."

Elton joked, "What? Are you going to have another drink?"

Lily couldn't resist a retaliation.

She said,"F*** off Elton. I am 40 years younger than you and have my whole life ahead of me!"

The Rocket Man was noticeably irritated by Lily's words and said, "I could still snort you under the table."

As far as we're aware, Lily declined to go nose-to-nose against Elton in a snort-off. Shame...

The hitmaker certainly stands out on the red carpet..
