A man from Bristol has been arrested after reportedly stripping off and having sex in front of passengers on a National Express coach.

The nude romp allegedly took place on the coach sometime after 10pm on Monday, March 4 as it traveled along the M5 through Devon.

It is understood the man met the woman, who has also been arrested, for the first time on the lengthy service from Manchester to Exeter and the brazen pair instantly hit it off.

The pair appear to have bonded on the first 220 miles of their journey, succumbing to temptation just 16 miles from the coach's final stop.

Devon & Cornwall Police say they caught up with the whirlwind lovers after the driver screeched the bus to a halt on a hard shoulder of the M5 near Cullompton, reports Devon Live.
