Binary stars that are on close orbits around super-massive black holes (SMBH) such as Sgr A* in the centre of the Milky Way are liable to undergo tidal disruption and eject a hyper-velocity star (HVS). We explore the result of collisions between binary partners during these perturbations. Collisions with high radial velocity are liable to result in total disruption of one or both of the partners. We present the dependency of initial conditions of the binary composition and its centre of mass orbit on the parameters of these collisional events. We also present results of the effect of binary orientation on binary TDEs and stellar collision events.
