Reality TV contestant Jack Tweed raped a girl in his Essex home while a friend held the door shut, a court has been told.
The 22-year-old, who is the widower of Jade Goody, is currently on trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court for two counts of rape at his Repton Park, Woodford Green property last September.
Tweed's friend Anthony Davis, 25, of Chigwell, is also accused of one count of rape. The prosecution claim that Mr David kept the door shut, telling Tweed: "Do what you've got to do."
The duo met the 19-year-old woman at West End club Embassy in Mayfair earlier in the evening, it is claimed.
Prosecutor Linda Strudwick alleged that the victim was sober and had "made it plain to both defendants that she was not interested in them sexually". She said that Davis pushed her into the bedroom and called for Tweed to join them.
"Anthony Davis held the door shut, saying to Jack Tweed 'Don't worry Jack, I've got the door, do what you've got to do'," said Strudwick.
The alleged victim, who is now 20, gave evidence from behind a screen in court. She admitted that she had rubbed cocaine on her gums, but claimed that she felt no effect from the drug. She also said that she had "pushed" Tweed off her when he had started kissing her earlier in the evening.
Tweed and Davis have denied the rape charges. The trial continues.
