The first pictures have emerged from inside a massive party where 2,000 gatecrashers arrived after a Radio 1 DJ mentioned it on air.

Thousands of revellers descended on the country manor, smashing windows, ripping up carpets, destroying chandeliers and ripping doors off their hinges.

Grammar-school girl Sarah Ruscoe had invited fellow sixth-formers to the fancy-dress event at her 21-bedroom family home, and was said to be "inconsolable" when 2,000 gatecrashers arrived after Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong mentioned it on his programme.

Chaos: The party-goers rip apart a sofa

Today Rebecca Brooks, Sarah's mother said that parties at the mansion for her three daughters - who are 24, 17 and 19 - would definitely be a thing of the past.

"The daughters will not be having anymore parties here," she said. "That is off the agenda for the next 10 years.

"The daughter is in the doghouse but I don't blame her entirely. "I blame the modern means of communication.

"She feels terrible, she is absolutely mortified by the whole thing."

The party hostess: Sarah Ruscoe in her dominatrix outfit

But yesterday Sarah admitted she had known the party would get out

of hand and chose not to warn

her mother of what might happen on

Friday night.

Sarah, who dressed as a dominatrix

for the evening, said it had become

clear to her that crowds would

descend on her Georgian mansion,

Colehayes, near Bovey Tracey in

Devon.

The house, in 20 acres, is used as a field

study centre for schools and universities

and is also a popular venue for weddings

and parties.

It is run by Sarah's mother

and stepfather, Rebecca and Bill

Brooks, and has accommodation for 70

plus a licensed bar.

"To say things got out of hand is

probably an understatement," said

Sarah, who is not 18 until October

but decided to have her party early

after a booking for Colehayes was

cancelled.

"I put up a poster at school inviting

everyone".

Little did I know that

almost everyone from Torquay Grammar

sixth form would attend and

invite "everyone" from different

schools and the surrounding area.

"A large circle of friends, social networking

sites and even the radio

make communication that much

more efficient."

She continued: "I soon realised it

was spiralling out of control but tried

to reassure myself with the fact that

people can decide for various reasons

not to attend.

"I spread rumours in

other schools that the party was cancelled,

which obviously didn't work.

"By the last day I felt physically ill

with worry but chose to keep my

mother in denial for her own sake.

"Nothing could be done at this

point. I was dreading the night but

didn't expect it to turn out as bad as

it did.

"When it seemed like people

would never stop coming and there

was a line of headlights up our drive,

I knew how out of hand it really had

become.

"By this time I had gone into hiding

for a while until my mother took me

to see the state of the house. I didn't

want to see and just wanted to go

straight to bed but she insisted."

When police arrived at the house

they were pelted with glass as they

tried to get the revellers to leave.

The family had hired four bouncers

for the evening but Mrs Brooks, 54,

said they did not stand a chance

against the invading hordes.

"I can only liken it to a rock festival.

They were jumping up an down with

cans and bottles, spraying them

around as if they were at a rave.

The revellers: Boy in a fat suit leads the entertainment

But there was no music because the DJ we

had hired did not even get a chance to

set up.

"The people that came were a bunch

of strangers behaving like they

had been invited because Pete Tong

had told them that everyone was welcome.

"Half of them arrived here

drunk – there were girls walking

around with bottles of vodka, drinking

them like normal people drink

bottles of Coke. It was awash with

alcohol. And they were smoking

cannabis spliffs.

Rebecca Brooks begins tidying up after gatecrashers leave her house a wreck

Mirrors were smashed and pictures torn off the walls as the party got out of hand. Bouncers hired by the family were said to have 'no chance'

"Some people were taking pictures

off the walls and just breaking them.

"I just don't know what gets into

these people. They began behaving

like animals.

"One charcoal portrait of my husband's

great grandfather was just

smashed. It is a family heirloom with

enormous sentimental value.

"We saw

various garments everywhere –

trousers, knickers and underpants. I

was also told there were streakers

down the drive.

"These people didn't take any notice

of anyone. It was only when the police

dogs arrived that they took any

notice."

Hundreds of gatecrashers turned up uninvited at the family's manor house Colehayes Park in Newton Abbot

The sumptuous interior of the huge house was left in tatters

She and her 75-year-old husband

are considering suing the BBC

for allowing details of the party to

be broadcast across the nation –

especially if it affects their business.

Tong's mention of it was an

example of what is known on the

programme as a "shout-out".

The 47-year-old DJ's name is popular

rhyming slang for "gone wrong", as in

"It's all gone Pete Tong".

He told listeners: "We're getting

ready for a huge mansion-house

party, 500 plus people going. It's in

Bovey Tracey, Devon.

"Anyone who's

listening can come along apparently –

just say Hi to Marilyn Monroe on the

door."

Rubbish was strewn throughout the house

The carpets were ruined and picture frames smashed

Mrs Brooks said: "I was flabbergasted

and astonished that the BBC

could be so irresponsible. I was

aghast at Pete Tong.

"I am furious and beside myself with

anger and rage. The BBC are going to

seriously have to look at their policy.

"This is ridiculous. This was supposed

to be a party for all my daughter's

schoolfriends and it should not have

been announced on Radio One.

Damage: Bottles fill bins and recycling containers

"I'm amazed that the BBC has not

been in touch to apologise and I am

expecting an apology from Pete Tong

in a personal phone call.

"It was totally negligent of the BBC

to allow a statement like that to be

broadcast"

A BBC spokesman said: "Pete did

not specify the name or address of

the venue, but read out details of a

mansion party taking place in Bovey

Tracey sent in by a listener.

"He gives shout-outs on his show

every week and he would never knowingly

give an identifiable address for a

private party.

"It's also worth noting

that details of the party appear to

have been posted on the internet several

days before the party."
