Chelsea star John Terry was left fuming when his team mates tried to make him be their waiter on a lad's night out. The England defender was at Whisky Mist nightclub in Mayfair on Saturday night when another clubber mistook him for a waiter and tried to order a bottle of champagne.

I'm not waiting: John Terry leaving Whisky Mist

An onlooker told us: "John was wearing a shirt that looked like it had a black tie - a white shirt and a black tie is the uniform of the waiters in the club."

"He was walking past a table and a clubber in the VIP area obviously didn't recognise him. He tried to get him to fetch some drinks.

"John just laughed it off, and the other guy apologised, but when the other Chelsea players found out they thought it was hilarious."

Most of the Chelsea team - including Frank Lampard, Nicolas Anelka, Didier Drogba and Carlo Cudicini - were sprawled over half of the VIP area of the club, and the players seized the chance to wind up their captain.

Our spy added: "There were a lot of drinks lying around, and every time one of them needed a refill they would call John and ask him to do it for them.

"He found it funny the first time, but looked more annoyed as the night went on."

At least John has a potential job to fall back on at Whisky Mist if he ever tires of his estimated £120,000-a-week pay packet at Stamford Bridge.

The Chelsea players were out after their appalling 1-1 draw with Southend, and to see off team mate Wayne Bridge - who has just signed for Man City.

Bridge must have received a hefty signing- on fee, as he splashed £18,000 on eight magnums of rose Dom Perignon, three Quaichs - the house special cocktail - and a methusalem (that's six litres) of Grey Goose vodka.

We're told: "Each expensive bottle comes with a sparkler attached. There were so many lit at once for Wayne's round, it was like Bonfire Night."
