Comedian Chris Ramsey was cuffed in his hotel room last night in a case of mistaken identity.

Ramsey had performed a gig in Radlett as part of his All Growed Up tour and had checked into the hotel. According to his tweets, the police kicked his door in and handcuffed him. Apparently a man had been in the hotel earlier that evening and had threatened the staff with a knife. Someone had seen Ramsey when he checked in and thought it was him and called the police.

"I'm fucking shaking!!" tweeted Ramsey after the incident when he added that he was slammed against the wall. "Police put handcuffs on me and began to march me out of my room when I shouted 'but I'm in my kegs!' I kept asking 'is this a joke?'" Ramsey was convinced it was Ant & Dec or Keith Lemon.

Following the incident and his release he added: "I love the idea that someone who was in earlier threatening staff with a knife would then check in later for a kip!!"

Ramsey is currently on tour. Dates here.
