Meat Loaf spectacularly lost his temper with actor Gary Busey last night during an episode of the US TV show, 'Celebrity Apprentice'.

Chaos soon broke out when Meat Loaf, real name Marvin Lee Aday, was convinced Busey, a member of his team had stolen his art supplies.

The singer’s temper reached boiling point when he accused the 'Point Break' actor of stealing his paints and sponges during a task which involved raising money by creating and selling their own art work in a gallery.

The raging singer squared up to Busey and could not be calmed down, despite every effort from their team mates.

Busey later summed up Meat’s crazed outburst by saying: "Meatloaf excelled to the level of dancing on the rainbow with no fear."

Meat Loaf soon realised his art supplies were actually sat in a bag at the back of the room.

When he eventually calmed down, he apologised to Busey saying: "I’m so embarrassed by it, and I’m so upset by it. I truly am very sorry."

The actor kindly told the singer: "I accept your apology, Meat. Let it go, I forgive you."

Meat Loaf then revealed that his temper has long been an issue for him. He tearfully admitted: "I’ve gone to anger management, I've done that."

Rocker Mark McGrath had the final word when he said: “I have to stop Meat Loaf from ripping Gary Busey’s head off, literally.”
