Lily Allen's joy at winning a music award turned to despair within minutes when she accidentally snapped the trophy in two.
The singer was named Best British Solo Artist at the NME ceremony in London on Wednesday and she proudly picked up the statuette, which is shaped like a fist flipping the middle finger.
But the extended finger of the gong snapped off at the afterparty.
She was photographed holding it in place, but was later seen leaving the party clutching her award in one hand and the broken finger in the other.
Following the incident, the singer posted a picture on Instagram showing her holding the severed digit and pulling an unhappy face, alongside the caption, "Broken".
