A heavyweight couple caused a pub ceiling to collapse by frolicking together in a shower.
The pair checked in to the The Black Horse Inn in Taunton, Somerset, and spent an afternoon drinking in the bar.
They then went upstairs and got in to the shower together.
Their amorous behaviour caused some damage and water started to pour down into the bar below.
The couple left early the next morning, but not long afterwards the ceiling collapsed, leaving landlord Steve Ball with a £5,000 repair bill.
Mr Ball said: "They went upstairs at around 8pm and it wasn't long before we could hear them in the shower.
"They were pretty loud and all the regulars found it pretty funny at first.
"But then a torrent of water started pouring from the shower and into the bar.
"The couple were pretty big, they must have had a combined weight of 35 stone.
"They must have dislodged a pipe while they were in the shower causing the water to flood down."
