A former gangster turned actor is offering a reward to help catch his beloved pet peacock - after it escaped from his garden and began running amok on his manor.
David Courtney, 63, who is said to have been the inspiration for Vinnie Jones' character Big Chris in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, built a special 12-foot-high fence enclosure for the bird which was given to him as a present.
But seconds after bringing the new pet home it flew out of the roofless coop - with Dave not realising the exotic bird could fly.
