Pop diva Tina Arena kicks out unruly concertgoer who sparked a brawl at her Melbourne concert - after scolding attendee for taking toilet break: 'You need to leave'
Tina Arena is being commended for the way she handled an unruly woman at her Melbourne show.
The Aussie singer, who is currently on her 30th anniversary Don't Ask Again tour, was performing at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda on Friday night when a concertgoer allegedly began punching and kicking strangers in the crowd.
One member of the audience said that the woman appeared out of control as she incited the brawl, which saw four security guards escort her out, according to Herald Sun.
Tina, 57, responded calmly to the incident, saying onstage: 'Darling, you need to leave the show'.
Peter Ford, an entertainment reporter who was at the show, posted a clip of Tina pausing the concert and making a request from the audience.
'Ladies and gentleman, if we could please just have some calm in this hall, I would really appreciate it' Tina said.

Seeming rattled, she added: 'I've never experienced anything like this in 50 years.'
Peter went on to praise the star for her handling of the moment on Channel 7's Sunrise.
'What a reminder how long Tina Arena's been around,' he said.
It comes after Tina launched scathing attack on fans who took a toilet break during a recent show.
The pop diva was performing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne 's St Kilda last Thursday night as part of her Don't Ask Again tour.
However, some concertgoers, who paid a reported $250 for a ticket to the sold out show, needed a bathroom pit-stop during Tina's set, The Herald Sun reported.
This allegedly upset the Sorrento Moon singer who took severe umbrage with the flighty fans interrupting the flow of the show.
In response, Tina shot back a very crass response to the errant attendees.
'Back in my day you wouldn't leave to go to the toilet unless you were s***ting your pants,' she reportedly said.
The pop star hopes future concertgoers heed the warning and 'go before the show' with Tina set to continue her Australian tour with two shows at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre and one at The Star on the Gold Coast.
She will round out her Australian run at Her Majesty's Theatre in Adelaide on May 30 before continuing the tour in France.
The pop star revealed the surprising reason she decided to do a 30th anniversary tour celebrating the success of her 1994 smash hit album Don't Ask.
Tina appeared on Channel Ten's The Project last year and was asked by co-host Rove McManus why she embarked on her upcoming tour.
'What designates the milestone? Do you wait until 21, 25, 30, what's the number?' Rove asked the pop star.
Tina responded that she came to the realisation she was getting older and she either had to do the tour now - or potentially miss out on it altogether.
'I think the fact that it is has been around for as long as it has. People said to me at the 25-year mark, 'what are you going to do about it?' Tina began.
It comes after Tina launched scathing attack on fans who took a toilet break during a recent show. The pop diva was performing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne 's St Kilda last Thursday night as part of her Don't Ask Again tour when she reportedly scolded people for walking out
'I was like, "I will wait." The record will hit 30, 40 years, it will hit 50 and I will be dead! I can't do anything at 50 years!
'It seemed like the right thing to do, as it is a record that played such a fantastic role in so many people's lives.'
Her Don't Ask album debuted at number one on the Australian album chart in November 1994 and went on to be certified 10 times platinum.
The album also sold well in the UK, the US and New Zealand, due to the success of its hit singles Chains, Wasn't it Good and Sorrento Moon.
Tina's Don't Ask... Again national tour kicked off on Sunday, April 27 at the Riverside Theatre in Perth, Western Australia.

'Nude artist' Dina Broadhurst goes topless and poses in nothing but a G-string as she shows off her massive designer shopping haul
Nude model Dina Broadhurst has taken to social media to show off her amazing figure - and what appears to be the bounty from a long weekend shopping spree. Posting the image on Monday, the 48-year-old can be seen kneeling on a bed surrounded by half a dozen designer shopping bags including products from Chanel, Alaïa, and Bottega Veneta. Posing in nothing but a G-string, Dina is shown digging into one of the bags so she can try on a new purchase. Sharing to her Instagram, Dina captioned the saucy pic, which shows an eyeful of side boob, 'Shopaholic 2'. She also shared the same photo in black and white to her stories. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Dina Broadhurst and ex Max Shepherd put their Darling Point apartment under the hammer last week. The former couple have been trying to sell since last November. As exclusively revealed by society scribe Lucy Manly, the pair, who dated from 2018 to 2023 and share a 15-year age gap, found a buyer for their renovated three-bedroom unit just before it was scheduled to go to auction on Thursday. It sold for 'around' its $8.4million guide, according to Highland Double Bay director David Malouf who handled the seven-month campaign. They initially couldn't find a buyer at $11.5million, so the listing was pulled in January, with Dina telling us she'd had second thoughts about letting the unit go. The apartment - described in its listing as having 'house-like proportions' - was rescheduled with a more realistic guide and eventually found a buyer, whose identity remains unknown. Originally purchasing the home together in 2022 for $5.2million, Dina renovated the harbourside property into a luxury home studio. Dina told Daily Mail Australia exclusively in January that she made the move to yank the listing because she was not sure she wanted to part with it. 'The property has been pulled for a few months as I am considering retaining the property for myself,' she said. 'I'm doing a trial living here over the summer until I work out if I will keep it or buy overseas next year instead.' 'The property has had ample interest and a decision will be made shortly as to whether we proceed with the sale or not,' she added. Dina pulled the newly-renovated pad from the market just two months after it was listed, and one month before it was set to go to auction. At the time there insiders were predicting that the $11.5million price tag could fall. In November the Wentworth Courier reported that Dina's renovation on the property took two years and involved a complete interior demolition. Dina showed off the garden apartments highlights in a video she shared to Instagram as the pad was listed. Located a mere 3kms from the CBD, the property features stunning views of nearby Double Bay. Highlights include vast living spaces, soaring ceilings and a thoughtful open plan design that opens out to a private garden. There's also a gourmet marble kitchen, oak floors and vintage Murano wall lights.

JJ was sandwiched in the middle, clutching a can with a Gucci man bag tucked under his arm. Ella - who has carved out a career as an LGBTQ+ campaigner and advocate since her stint on reality TV - wore a grey long-sleeve top and camel-coloured trousers as she cut a casual look backstage.

Katie Price sparks concern with her skinny frame as she performs on stage in tiny bodysuit In her caption, posted to her page, Katie wrote: "My day started at 630am with Harvey smashing my TV, and this is how it ended at Portsmouth Pride." We were first to report how Katie sent her eldest, who suffers with complex needs, back to his college early after he ruined the £3K electrical device. FAN FEAR Despite Katie's happy snap at the Pride Month event, fans were left concerned by her slender look.

Their relationship was up and down for three years. They broke up for a final time last year. 2024-present: After weeks of rumours, Katie confirmed her relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater in February this year. Taking to the stage, Katie channelled her inner pop princess, donning a tiny black thong bodysuit that showed off her newly enhanced bum and famous boobs. Over the course of her set, she sang songs including a piano led version of RnB classic (We Don't Have To Take Our) Clothes Off and Tell It To My Heart by Taylor Dayne, and A Whole New World – which she previously released as a single with ex-husband Peter André. But as she shed her shimmering jacket and danced in just her bodysuit, Katie's slim frame – which has been causing concern among fans – was on full display, and so was her new bum. The surgery-loving star underwent a £1,500 bum filler procedure in May which she livestreamed on TikTok from the operating table. The performer, podcaster and model previously tried to shut down fears over her weight loss, saying she decided to slim down after a long-standing foot injury and attempts at IVF made her put on weight. Speaking on her Snapchat in May, Katie said: "Yes I've lost weight. "Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. "Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. "So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." 5 Ella made history as MAFS' first transgender bride Credit: Jam Press/Ella Morgan
