JOHN VIRGO LOOKALIKE IN MY
Professional double’s drunken prank at snooker party
STAR TURD: Rosa owned toaster John Virgo ( right) act shat in NEVER mind snooker loopy – a charity bash turned snooker POOPY when a John Virgo lookalike hired to front the event got drunk and SHAT in a toaster!
More than 100 people turned up to the snookerthemed fundraising event organised by Rosa Ellis at her local working men’s club.
Rosa had persuaded the committee to open the snooker room to visitors – the area is normally strictly members- only – who paid £ 5 each to play a frame.
Later, after pie supper, an audience watched John Virgo lookalike Steve Bassett play a selection of trick shots – just like the real John performed on the hit Jim Davidson TV show Big Break.
But things turned sour after Steve, 62, accepted one too many free drinks from amazed audience members at the club in Sunderland.
Rosa said: “Mr Bassett went down a storm and people were lining up to buy him a drink. Unfortunately, it seems Steve was a little ‘ unused to wine’ and soon became a bit rowdy.
Trousers
“We just about managed to stop him taking his trousers down in the members’ lounge and then he disappeared.
“We finally found him, in the kitchen. He was stood on the worktop, squatting over a toaster which I’d brought from home. I knew what was going to happen next and, sure enough, he did a big plop right into the top of it.
“I screamed my head off, BROWNED OFF: Lookalike Steve befouled toaster which brought the committee members running. There was a bit of a scuffle and Mr Bassett was forcibly ejected.
“Needless to say, the entire kitchen needed a thorough deep clean and that had to come out of the funds we’d raised.
“So, as it turned out, the hospital scanner appeal got a net contribution of precisely £ 1.49.
“To make matters worse, Mr Barrett’s agent still wants paying! I’ve told him where to go.”
Last night Paphos Aristolides of Look- Like Celebrity Good Agency said: “Lady she must pay. My act did turn and did turn good.
“He shit in toaster after turn? That no my business. Lady, she pay or I ask my brother convince her.”
Steve Barrett could not be contacted last night. It is thought he is suffering from some form of exhaustion.
