Soaking up the attention
Pranksters drench Ricky Gervais
Ricky Gervais was water-bombed by students as he jogged past their campus.
After the soaking, he marched into the University College building near his London home and gave the pranksters a ticking off.
One witness told The Sun: ‘It was really hot and some people were making water-balloons. They shouted at him, but they ignored him, so they chucked a water balloon at him to get his attention.
‘They thought he'd see the joke, but he marched up to the door.
The comic said: ‘I went to check it wasn't some old woman emptying her chamber-pot, but all I found were some spotty students. I gave them a ticking off as a joke, but they looked terrified, so I felt guilty afterwards.’
