Chippenham, Wiltshire - (Ass Tanning Mess): Just days after former Thatcher cabinet minister Lord Walker admitted crashing through a Worcestershire couple's living room celing as they were sitting down to a cuppa and the six o'clock news on the telly one evening, a potential long-lost cousin of his, one Steven Strange, has suffered a similar fate albeit in far seedier circumstances.
Strange, 43, apparently was secreted in rooms above a Chippenham beauty salon ogling a 22 year old woman as she undressed in a tanning booth.
He began began salivating lasciviously as the woman then reclined naked on the sunbed for a relaxed lunchtime tanning session.
But after less than a minute Strange's hideyhole gave way in what the salon's assistants later described as "one godawful crash" and the sunbed client suddenly became aware of Strange's "hidiously contorted, drooling face" as it appeared in a gap in the ceiling.
"Then all hell broke loose and the perv crashed right through the floorboards above and through the booth ceiling, causing the naked lady considerable distress," Crown Prosecution lawyers told the judge at a Swindon Crown Court hearing today.
Unlike Peter Walker's foray into Mrs and Mrs Nutkins' living room, Strange's behavior was described by the sentencing judge today as "entirely pre-meditated, perverted and drink/drug fuelled."
Strange got three months jail and was ordered to pay compensation of £20,000 for the structural damage incurred on the salon's premises.
