Celebrity Big Brother's Stephanie Beacham burst into tears after smashing Ivana Trump's award into thousands of pieces.

The socialite accepted her fake award - which looked like a glass vase attached to a wooden plinth - and proudly came back to show it off to the other housemates shouting: "I won! I won! Martha Stewart must be fuming by now."

The 60-year-old ex-wife of American business mogul Donald Trump believed she had won the Best International Businesswoman On A Reality TV show award from the readers of fictional Scandinavian magazine Kugel Fresh.

Actress Stephanie Beacham dropped the award, smashing it into pieces

The housemates were challenged to insult Trump's award, try to drink out of it and break it in order to pass a secret task and win an awards party tonight.

Beacham asked to see the award and after taking it, dropped it almost immediately, smashing it into pieces.

The 62-year-old Dynasty actress said it "smashed in my hand" and began crying as she apologised to Trump.

But it was apparently more than an act as she kept crying when she visited Big Brother in the Diary Room.

Vinnie Jones, Dane Bowers and Nicola Tappenden quickly thought of ways to pass the task, telling Trump: "It looked stupid anyway, it looked like it was made of plastic". They tried to drink juice out of the broken shards.

Trump said: "It's okay, it happens. Now the task is to put it together. How about I have a crazy go and Big Brother will give us crazy glue?"

On accepting her award in the Task Room via what she believed was a satellite link-up to the awards ceremony in Switzerland, Trump made a peace sign and blew kisses at the camera.

She said: "Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, my friends, my fans. I would like to thank you so much for this wonderful award.

"I'm really deeply honoured and overwhelmed. I'd also like to thank Celebrity Big Brother in UK for having me on the show and giving me fantastic opportunity, and of course Swedish television show which is called Kugel Fresh for choosing me and nominating me and giving me this prestigious award. Thank you so much."

She also made a short, slightly nervous speech in German and Russian.

After being told that time was running out and the awards ceremony would have to move on, Trump said: "We have to move on? Okay."

She then continued: "For the European viewers again I'm very honoured. It is a category in business and a combination of the beauty brains.

"I might be blonde but I'm quite bright and have achieved quite a bit and I'm very proud of what I have done.

"My biggest accomplishment is my three children and I already have grandchildren and they cannot call me grandma, they have to call me Ivana-ma.

"And I have a nice life and I have been on a television show in UK, on Celebrity Big Brother. Now, going to the third week, it has been really, for me, an incredible challenge and I'm enjoying myself. Thank you so much, I love you."

The other celebrities laughed as the speech was shown on a screen in the living room.
