STAGGERING!
Having a ball: In 2012 Dan Littlejohn’s testicles swelled to twice their normal size following a stag do paintballing injury. After struggling home the mechanic was driven to hospital by his fiancée and doctors discovered a torn artery needing emergency surgery. The Sussex-based pair were able to marry two weeks later but Dan, 30, said: “I felt like John Wayne walking down the aisle.”
Kidnap terror: Groom-to-be Ollie Mcaninch, 33, ended up going down with stress-related shingles in 2013 after being “kidnapped” in an extreme stagdo prank. During a drive in the country, fiancée Clair Hart and a gang of 16 masked pals leapt out wielding bats and smoke grenades. They bound, gagged and hooded Ollie and drove him 100 miles to Devon, leaving him in a Borat-style mankini. He said: “I’ve never been so scared.”
Nasty habit: Back in 2009 a bunch of stag do revellers from Bristol dressed up as sexy nuns on their trip to Malia, Crete. But after flashing their bottoms in the holy-themed costumes they were arrested for offensive behaviour and held in custody. Luckily they got off when no-one appeared in court to testify against them.
Splashing occasion: Two years earlier Stephen Mullone,
25, from Shropshire was handed a two-month jail sentence on his stag do after being caught cavorting naked in a fountain in Bratislava, Slovakia. He only made it back just in time for his nuptials.
Chasing hens: In 2011 two brothers decided to take six live chickens with them on a stag do in Bournemouth to hide in the hotel room of the groom-to-be. But the prank went awry when the chickens were let out and one was killed by a fox and another was found dead. The duo were prosecuted by the RSPCA and fined.
Hair-raising: A flight from Manchester to Majorca made an emergency landing at Gatwick in 2012 after a 24-year-old man set fire to his friend’s hair for a stag party stunt. He was arrested on suspicion of endangering an aircraft.
Disappearing act: Marc Carn did a vanishing act in 2015 after being dumped miles from his accommodation by a taxi during a stag do in Spain. Stranded, and with no money or phone, he had to walk for nearly two days back to Barcelona!
Dam lucky: Daft Arron Hughes, 28, had a narrow escape on a US stag do in 2017 when he swam across the Hoover Dam reservoir, only avoiding being dragged under because most of its turbines were off.
