Clunes in Crocs shoe police scare

Martin Clunes was tested for drink driving by police after he was caught slipping around on the pavement due to his Crocs shoes.

The Doc Martin star revealed that a combination of a wet floor and the unusual choice of footwear made him look like he had been drinking.

Clunes told The Sun: "The last time I came up to London I was nicked. I'd come up for work - and I got breathalysed. There was a football match on, so Soho was full of riot police."

"I was wearing Crocs, which are deadly on a wet pavements. Anyway, I was walking down the street all over the place, because it was wet and, ad I was skidding down the pavement, I clocked one of these riot police."

The TV actor added: "Sure enough when I got in the car to drive back home and drove past him he ran up and stuck his head right inside the car because he'd seen me coming down the street, slipping everywhere. He then said 'Have you been drinking?'

Clunes, who confessed that he had drunk one cocktail was taken into a back of police van for testing, but was cleared after being breathalysed.
