Groom-to-be almost kicked out of his £2,000 Ibiza stag do over dissolving shorts prank

A groom-to-be has opened up about the horrific moment he was almost kicked out of club during his own stag do.

Just 30 minutes into Ibiza 's famous Ocean Beach club, Ryan Jackson, 28, nearly faced being thrown out - after paying £2,000 to get in.

The 28-year-old thought he could enter the prestigious club after he was forced to wear lifeguard shorts and kids' armbands on August 4th, report Manchester Evening News.

He thought that he'd 'get told off lightly' - but little did he know his shorts were the dissolving ones.

Best man Luke was the culprit behind the prank, this after he purchased the pair for £30 for on Amazon.

After getting into the pool, an unaware Ryan swam a length of the club's packed swimming pool, and soon realised that the shorts had started to fall apart.

The man, from Warrington, was left even more embarrassed after a video of him doing laps had been viewed thousands of times on social media.

In the footage, a red-faced Ryan then laughs nervously as he covers his crotch with a scrap of red material from the prank shorts.

Partygoers can be heard cheering as the self-conscious stag runs away and up a flight of stairs - with his bottom showing, and only the thin drawstring wrapped around his waist.

However, things went awry when Ryan reached the group's beds, when two burly security men approached him.

They can be seen telling him off, before Ryan says they forced him back down the stairs.

To his shock, Ryan said that Ocean Beach owner Wayne Lineker was waiting at the bottom.

After desperately trying to explain the situation to him and that they were on a stag do, he club mogul reportedly told security to leave them alone.

He has since admitted he was stupidly embarrassed and the lads 'got him good', but is grateful the Lineker brother didn't kick him out after he'd spent just 30 minutes at the costly venue.

Along with spending £2,000 to secure two beds, the trio claim club rules stated they had to spend at least £1,300 on drinks per bed.

Best men Mark and Pete, who shot the video and bought the shorts, were proud their prank 'went perfectly' and found Ryan's embarrassed reaction 'hilarious', with Ryan adding: "When I got out of the pool I just thought 'oh s***'. It was just pure embarrassment. People started cheering and that made it worse.

"I was thinking I need to get back as quickly as possible because my shorts are getting worse the more I walk. I ended up walking away like I s*** my pants because the floor was too hot.

"I couldn't believe I didn't think of it. I'd seen it done before but they disguised it well with the lifeguard outfit. I thought that was easy and I'd got off lightly.

"Security chased me and they both grabbed me. They took me down the stairs to chuck me out. We'd only been in there half an hour, if that.

"Wayne Lineker was stood there and the lads told him we're on a stag do and he told the bouncers 'it's fine, leave him in'. So he saved the day.

"I was thinking I can't get kicked out, we've all paid so much. It nearly went too far."

Ryan, who is due to get married in early September, was told to bring a spare pair of shorts so the 22 strong-group stayed for the rest of the day. Mark says the stag 'took it well', even when fellow holidaymakers recognised him for the prank later in their stay.

Mark said: "The armbands took the attention away from the shorts. We managed to keep it quiet.

"It went perfectly. Couldn't have gone any better. The beds were right on the other side so we couldn't get any further away.

"It was so busy. We were wondering how quickly they were going to come off. As soon as he got out he saw the split at the front and he started covering it up.

"It was people behind him who noticed most because he had his bare a*** out."

Utility company project manager Pete said he can't wait to show the video to guests during his best man's speech. He added: "I didn't expect to go as far as it did, but we smoothed it over with Wayne Lineker. We've probably got a lifetime ban now.

"We spent so much money on the beds and we could have been kicked out straight away. We had a good time in the end.

"I cry laughing every time I watch it. I can't wait to put it up on the projector during our best man's speech in front of his family."
