A teenager woke up with more than just a hangover after a night out in Liverpool where he was ‘living it large like Pablo Escobar’ on a stag do.

Pictures show exactly how Will Turton, 18, was feeling when he checked his bank balance the morning after the night before.

It’s always a risky move, but Will discovered he’d spent way more than he bargained for – £3,500 to be exact.

The electrician, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, blew most of the cash on £120-a-time dances with girls at the X In The City lap dancing club.


It appears the fun only stopped when Will’s card was declined in the early hours of the morning.

Nathan Gregory posted the pictures to Facebook saying they captured the Will’s ‘soul leave his body’ as he realised what had happened.

He wrote: ‘Public announcement, anyone feeling down? A bit rough from last night? Here’s something to cheer you up.

‘A young Will Turton took part in a big boy stag do in Liverpool with Ryan Curtis and ended up in a strip club by himself at 4pm.

‘Hours pass and he leaves the club roughly 1am feeling a bit worse for wear reckons he’s been “spiked” turns out he’s been living it large like a young Pablo Escobar getting dances off 2,3,4 birds at a time.

‘The best part, each girl for every 30 minutes is £120 racking up a grand total of £3500 what a life lesson, see below images of a young man’s soul leaving his body as he checks his online banking.’

A screengrab of Will’s account shows a number of transactions worth more than £200, including one where £480 was taken out in one go.

Will told his mates he believed he had been spiked and that the money he spent were savings he had hoped to put towards buying a car.

Another of his mates has now set up a crowdfunding page on Facebook named The Will Turton idiot fund.

He has so far raised £175 but still has a long way to go to replace Will’s ‘life savings’.

Dwain Byrne wrote: ‘As much as me and the lads want to laugh at him – and we will ridicule him in the future – I for one would be distraught at losing 3.5k as an 18-year-old.

‘He has spoken to his bank and the police who just do not want to know, going down the complaint route could be timely and with no guarantee of a result.

‘So let’s all muck together and try to soften the blow to this young legend.’

X in the City manager John Clarkson said: ‘I can categorically say that the customer from Saturday was not spiked.

‘He was coherent throughout his visit with us, and our bar staff are trained to ensure no one is served if they are clearly drunk.



‘At no point did we take advantage of him, he chose to pay for 3 girls simultaneously and he could have chosen to stop paying at any given point.

‘We appreciate the media storm this has caused but we aim to ensure everyone enjoys their visit to us and we hope this is the case for this customer.’
