WATCH: Punter caught literally taking the piss at Cheltenham this morning

Gold stream on Gold Cup day

When you gotta go, you gotta go, even at Cheltenham.

Today, St. Patrick’s Day, marks the final day of the Cheltenham festival and we’ll miss the buzz that one of the biggest festivals in the horse racing calendar always brings.

We’ll also miss the accidental moments of TV gold that these types of festivals always seem to deliver.

That was the case on Friday morning, when viewers tuning into ITV Racing couldn’t have helped but notice a man taking a sneaky whizz that didn’t turn out to be so sneaky at all.

Maybe the punter in question knew well where the cameras would be located and decided to drain the spuds in that spot deliberately, but something tells us that a lot more people ended up bearing witness than he would have intended.
