Hollywood actor Kevin Costner has been revealed as the celebrity accused of performing a sex act while having a massage at a prestigious hotel in Scotland in October 2004.

Costner was accused of this act at a British employment tribunal by a former spa worker.

The 34-year-old spa worker giving the massage claimed she had been unfairly dismissed after she made a complaint to management about Costner's behaviour, reported The Times.

She settled for an undisclosed sum before the tribunal hearing was due to start yesterday.

An earlier ruling had prevented the actor's identity from being revealed, but the tribunal chairman lifted the restriction.

He said that Costner's name had already entered the public domain following widespread media reports outside the UK as well as Internet blogs which alleged that he was the culprit.

The 51-year-old actor had been on honeymoon with his new wife in St Andrews when he went for the massage.

He was accused of taking off his towel during the massage, exposing himself and then performing a sex act.

'It was disgusting and, even though he was a Hollywood superstar, I couldn't believe he thought he could get away with something like that,' the Scottish masseuse told the tribunal.

'When I was giving his wife a massage afterwards, I wanted to tell her everything,' she said.
