Pixie Lott and Jamelia’s central London birthday parties came to an abrupt end this morning when a man threatened to blow himself up in an Accessorize shop in Regent Street.
The two stars, their friends and other revellers at Movida in London’s Argyll Street were all forced to leave the nightclub after police evacuated part of London’s West End.
The drama began when a man broke into a branch of Accessorize on Regent Street and threatened to harm himself in the early hours of this morning.
Pixie was celebrating her 20th birthday at the celeb haunt with model boyfriend Oliver Cheshire, 22, and pals dressed in a hot pink Atelier Versace frock.
Meanwhile, Jamelia, who was wearing a revealing black lace and PVC mini dress and Louis Vuitton lace-up heels, was toasting her 30th.
The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Goodger and rapper Chipmunk were also partying the night away at the club and forced to make a quick exit.
Dozens of clubbers then found they couldn’t get to their cars after most of Regent Street was shut off by police.

Back home, Jamelia even joked about the incident to her followers on Twitter.
She posted: ‘Thanks to (my friends) Movida and all my amazing rebels for the best Party… It was The BOMB (Pun Intended). Love you all xxx.’
Police arrested a man at 5.15am this morning after a four-hour siege.
A Met Police spokesman said: ‘Police were called to a commercial premises in Regent Street shortly after 12.20am today following an alarm activation.
‘On arrival officers saw a man inside the building purporting to have an explosive device.
‘Officers surrounded the building and cleared the area while attempts were made to make contact with the man.
‘At 05.15am, following negotiation, a man left the building voluntarily and was detained.’
