Declan Rice was pranked by West Ham team-mate Mark Noble with a fake car clamp ahead of their clash with Everton this weekend.
Rice and team-mate Ryan Fredericks drove to a studio in Hackney, east London to film a FIFA 20 content piece.
But they were unaware the only reason the piece was not being shot at West Ham was to enable them to be pranked in the fake car park.
Sponsors Betway got skipper Noble in on the prank, with a traffic warden played by an actor attaching a clamp to the wheel of Rice's Range Rover.
The England midfielder arrives just as his car is about to be towed away and pleads his innocence, with Noble watching on a few metres away with an earpiece giving the traffic warden suggestions of things to say.
Eventually, the tow truck arrives with Rice still protesting, only for Noble to emerge in a high-viz vest as the youngster realises he has been caught out.
It is not the first time Rice has been pranked after close friend and England team-mate Mason Mount posted a clip which vent viral over the summer.
Rice was given a fright as he was woken up by a screaming Mount during their summer holiday.
And whilst he was at least awake for his latest prank, Rice was unaware of what was happening until Noble's emergence at the end of the clip.
West Ham travel to Goodison Park in their return to Premier League action after the international break today (Saturday).
