Costner 'caught out'

HOLLYWOOD star Kevin Costner was yesterday revealed as the celebrity accused of performing a sex act while being given a massage at a famous golf hotel.

The A-list actor was accused of the incident at the spa at The Old Course Hotel in St Andrews, Fife, in October 2004.

A legal ruling had banned identifying Costner, who had been in St Andrews with his wife, where they attended the Dunhill Links pro-celebrity golf event.

The 34-year-old spa worker at the centre of the allegations initially claimed unfair dismissal and sexual discrimination against the hotel after she lost her job.

She claimed she was unfairly dismissed after she made the complaint to management about the 51-year-old star, whose best-known films include Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and The Bodyguard.

However, just before a tribunal hearingthis morning, the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, settled with hotel lawyers.

Costner’s publicist said: “This was never about Kevin Costner. It is a dispute between a hotel and an ex-employee.”
