[G]A patient at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, has been charged with assaulting TV presenter Noel Edmonds with a full colostomy bag.
82 year old Cyril Kirtonville threw the contents of his own bag at the Deal or No Deal host on Christmas Eve.
It followed a heated row between the pair, over a prize Mr Kirtonville had won, as part of an afternoon's entertainment put on by staff at the Wonford-based hospital.
The incident happened towards the end of a Q&A held by Exeter City Chairman Edmonds and the club's mascot Grecian the Lion.
According to hospital staff, Mr Kirtonville had become incensed at not being offered an extended three year warranty on a Smeg American fridge freezer he had just won at the event.
When Mr Edmonds pointed out to the defendant, that it wouldn't be worth giving him the warranty, as he would probably not make it beyond the three year period, Mr Kirtonville became agitated and started to make fun of Mr Edmond's Christmas-themed motif sweater.
Within minutes, Mr Kirtonville, got up from his chair, went behind a curtain, and returned to hurl the contents of the bag at the clearly surprised presenter.
In chaotic scenes, the Exeter mascot grappled with Mr Kirtonville, who in turn tried to cut the mascot's tail off with an amputation saw. Ironically, the mascot had been a recent patient himself at the same hospital, following a fur graft caused by fart burn injuries.
When confronted by security staff and police, Mr Kirtonville said, he was just 'letting off steam', and only charged at Mr Edmonds, because he was annoyed that staff had given him a strap-on bag, rather then a more comfortable stick on model.
But, in further developments, ward nurse, Mustapha Mackster said Mr Edmonds had been abusive to patients moments before, when one had asked him why he had resigned from the BBC's Late Late Breakfast Show in 1986.
Mr Edmonds rushed back to London for a Christmas pantomime edition of his Deal or No Deal show, and was unavailable for comment, but the sweater was sent for dry cleaning.
Mr Kirtonville was remanded in custody without his colostomy bag, pending a court hearing on January 20th.
AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL![party]
