A Christmas party reveller was spotted doing one of the worst ‘walks of shame’ ever – as he was naked with only a scrap of newspaper to protect his modesty.

The mystery man was filmed strolling down Cow Lane in just a pair of odd socks after what appears to be a prank taken too far.

The footage, shot in broad daylight by hysterical delivery men Tony Marsh and Chris Moorby, has been viewed more than 70,000 times online.

Tony, 29, said the humiliated partygoer managed to take his 'walk of shame' in good humour as cars tooted their horns when he walked past.

Tony said: "I thought I'd seen everything doing this job but I can honestly say I've never seen a fully naked grown man walking through a business park at one in the afternoon.

"I had to do a double take because I was driving. I nearly crashed the van. I turned to Chris and told him to grab my phone and get this on video.

"The guy wasn't running or anything. He was just walking briskly and gave us a bit of a grin when we started shouting at him.

"We actually turned round to try and see him a second time but he had legged it by then.

"He looked a bit worse for wear. I reckon he's been at a work party and they've played a trick on him and it's just gone too far.

"He was struggling with the newspaper to keep all his bits covered. It was hilarious.

"There's a housing estate on the other side of the business park so I can only assume he was going there.

"It's easily the best walk of shame I've ever seen. Or worst depending on how you look at it."

Tony and Chris, both from Guildford, Surrey, were doing their rounds delivering furniture on Thursday afternoon when they came across the bare-skinned bloke.

During the 16-second clip, shot by Chris on Tony's phone, Tony can be heard shouting: "That's not something you see every day - get it out, bruv."

Chris, 32, said: "We were coming up to a roundabout and Tony was trying to concentrate on driving but he was cracking up.

"He literally shouted 'naked man' and the top of his lungs and told him to film it. I suppose that's the instinctive reaction these days when you see something out of the ordinary.

"He looked to aged between 25 and 35. It wouldn't surprise me if he's a new guy at work and they've had some sort of initiation at the Christmas party or whatever for him."
