He said on talkSPORT: "I booked into this Airbnb place in Chipping Campden and my wife sent me all the directions.
"I got a taxi from Birmingham Airport and the boy couldn't find the street.

"I knocked the door. I knew someone was in but there was nobody answering.
"The next minute all I hear is 'Can I help you?'. I turned round and there's a cop standing there.
"He says to me 'Can I help you Sir?'. I said I was looking for 'number two' and he said 'Oh, you won't find it in there Sir'.
