Lincolnshire's Spencer Matthews has revealed he once insulted Colonel Gadaffi's son so much that he was forced to hide from him under a bed.

The Made in Chelsea star, who was born in Grantham, said it was like a 'scene out of Taken' when he told the story while trying to evade the SAS as part of Channel 4's Celebrity Hunted on Tuesday, October 10.

The 28-year-old said he was forced to shave his head to avoid the son of the fearsome revolutionary who had chased him down in the Caribbean.

He told his bizarre story before shaving his head to change his appearance in the hit reality show where contestants are tasked with going on the run from the law and remaining undetected for two weeks.

He said: "I managed to insult Colonel Gadaffi's son in the Caribbean once.

"He was really rude to me, and was chasing me, so I ran and hid from him under a bed.

"It was like a scene from Taken!

"The following day I shaved my head to a Grade one and ended up meeting him at a party - which turned out to be his.

"He didn't even recognise me so I know that the hair does it for me."

It was an eventful opening episode for Spencer who, along with his friend and fellow reality star Jamie Laing, initially made his getaway by helicopter.

The pair then took a boat towards the Isle of Wight but were tracked down by the hunters who were a helicopter of their own to chase them down.

However, after the helicopter was forced to return to land for fuel the pair managed to escape their pursuers and holed up at a friend's yard.

Hunted Celebrity will return to Channel 4 on Tuesday, October 17 at 9.15pm.
