Tipperary, Ireland.  chained a male escort to his bedroom wall and beat him with a metal chain, a court heard yesterday.

The pop star and DJ screamed "f***ing whore 'whore' 'Hired gun', see there " as he and another man forced Audun Carlsen, 29, to the floor in the singer's London home after a photoshoot in April last year.

Mr Carlsen met the singer, who is being tried under his real name of George O'Dowd, on Gaydar website.

He agreed to the singer's request to pose for a naked photoshoot and arranged to visit O'Dowd's home in Shoreditch.

During the first shoot the pair took cocaine together and O'Dowd, 46, performed a sex act on the younger man.

He also accused Mr Carlsen of ignoring him and said perhaps he had had second thoughts about letting the photos be taken.

In one email O'Dowd said: "I'm an odd guy... physically superior beings often mistake this for indifference."

But he added: "I would be perfectly happy to see you naked asap, you have a gem of an arse."

They made a date for another photoshoot where O'Dowd beckoned Mr Carlsen into his bedroom only for the young man to see a second unidentified man had joined them there.

Mr Carlsen told Snaresbrook Crown Court: "As soon as I saw the other guy they were both jumping on me. They held me down and beat me. I could not move.

"George was slapping me and beating me and punching me and screaming things."

The court was told the singer shouted: "F***ing whore, now you are going to get what you deserve".

Mr Carlsen said he was dragged along the floor and a handcuff was put on his right hand. The manacle was attached to a hook drilled into the wall by the bed.

The second man left and O'Dowd fetched a plastic box from the sitting room. It contained chains, sex toys and leather straps.

He added: "I was so scared. I managed to get loose and I started running. He tried to stop me but I ran for the front door.

"He was hitting me with a metal chain."

The court saw photos of red welts on Mr Carlsen's head and injuries to his arm which he said had been inflicted during the attack. He denied the incident was a sex game.

O'Dowd denies unlawfully detaining Mr Carlsen.

The trail continues.
