The actor Richard E Grant has been robbed at a cash machine while on holiday in South Africa.
The Withnail and I star wrote on social media that he felt “like a right mug” after being robbed at an ATM while spending Christmas with his family in Cape Town.
Grant, who holds dual Swazi-British citizenship, had been on a family holiday when the incident took place. He tweeted:

He appeared to have put the incident behind him when he later tweeted a picture of himself and his daughter, writing: “Last day of the hols on Clifton Beach with ShmiviaGrant to iron out Life’s bumps!”
Grant had previously visited Swaziland, where he was born, sharing a picture of himself looking out at the landscape, captioned: “Ol’Swaziboy happy to be back in his Homeland.”
On Christmas Eve, he wished his followers a happy holiday with a photograph of himself with his mother and daughter Olivia.
Grant will next be seen starring opposite Melissa McCarthy in the film Can You Ever Forgive Me? about the celebrity biographer Lee Israel.
