Comic bought a yacht, but couldn't sail it

John Bishop has revealed once bought a 27ft yacht – but had to ditch it because he couldn’t sail it properly.

The problem reached a peak when he arranged to meet footballer Jamie Redknapp in Majorca. But when he got there, he couldn’t get the vessel to the dock.

‘We get to this harbour and I can’t get in. I’m going round in circles,’ he told  the Tony Bellew Is Angry podcast, revealing his family had to jump off and wade to the shore ‘up to their neck in the water, carrying the hamper and all that stuff.

‘Jamie, the beautiful people, are looking at us. My missus is going, "You’re a dickkhead".

‘You know when you’re a couple and the row just carries on all day,’ the 55-year-old added. So he decided to return the yacht to the man he bought it from in Abersoch, Wales.

‘I said, "right you can have this boat back, I don’t want it, I feel it’s just causing murder in our house". So he said "all right, but it will have to come back to Abersoch."

‘I got it sent back to Abersoch, he got it in Abersoch, opened the back of it - there were six illegal immigrants hiding in the back of the boat.

‘Honest to god. The boat was cursed.’
