Famous Irish comedian Dara O Briain was relaxing following a show in Eastbourne when an enthusiastic comedy follower landed inside his dressing room.
The eager fan from the capital managed to blag his way into the room where he found the Wicklow native in just his pants.
O Briain was not best pleased about the awkward encounter and was baffled about how the Dubliner not only managed to break into his private dressing room, but had the audacity to ask for a selfie.

The Bray television personality took to Twitter to give "a big hello to the guy from Dublin.
"[He] blagged his way into my dressing room in Eastbourne tonight. While I was in my pants, in order to get a selfie; and is probably telling somebody somewhere right now how I’m actually a lot less friendly off-stage.
And things took a turn for the worst shortly after that.
Clearly frazzled by the whole event, O Briain completely misread a reply of the tweet by a follower who sarcastically told Dara that fame had changed him.
The reply read: "How dare you!!!! You celebrities getting court in compromising situations and it’s always joe publics fault!!!
"He came all the way from Dublin as well... tut tut he will be buying an Ed Byrne ticket as we speak!!! Great story for his pals and your tweet is his top trump card."

The sarcasm whizzed straight over the head of O Briain who hit back saying: "I was changing after the show. It’s not a compromising situation.
"He walked in on me, so it is his fault. He didn’t travel from Dublin, he’s a plumber in Eastbourne. Any reason you’ve decided to comment on a situation you know nothing about?"
When things were cleared up between him and the follower, O Briain concluded by saying that "tone can often be hard to read on Twitter."
