Happy Mondays star Bez has taken part in an organised fight in Manchester, according to reports.

Photos show the dancer, real name Mark Berry, brawling with a man believed to be Space Monkeys bassist Dom Morrison in an office block in Manchester.

The fight is thought to have been related to Bez’s problems involving ex-fiancee Monica Ward.

In August, the dancer was given a two-year restraining order banning him from approaching her.

According to The Sun, Morrison is now in a relationship with Ward.

A source told the newspaper: "It was really bitter and they only wanted to sort it out one way - with an old-fashioned straightener."

“They went at it like animals with a lot of blood and sweat. Bez looked cut up but gave as good as he got. It was a draw in the end and they both managed to walk away."

Neither Bez nor Morrison would comment on the brawl.
