A man was left fighting for his life after his stomach was 'torn apart' by a liquid nitrogen cocktail served by a celebrity chef during a corporate Christmas party in Moscow.

The incident happened at a bash held at the Igra Stolov 'Game of Tables' cooking studio, where guests were being entertained with a theatrical 'cryo-show' by the unidentified chef.

The chef prepared flashy cocktails using liquid nitrogen - a substance commonly used in professional kitchens to instantly freeze ingredients, but dangerous if ingested before it fully evaporates, said media reports in Moscow.

Witnesses said guests were not warned of the risks and that the chef allegedly encouraged one man to drink the cocktail immediately.

Amid laughter, the guest, identified as Sergey, 38, complied with catastrophic consequences.

Sergey was seen clutching his stomach in agony, after which he collapsed.

Doctors later determined that the liquid nitrogen caused a rapid expansion of gas inside his body, rupturing his stomach.

He was rushed to intensive care, where surgeons carried out emergency surgery to repair the torn organ
