A Swansea man spent the best part of 10 hours covering his mate's room in tin foil to "teach him a lesson".

Scott Lewis, a soldier in the 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards, decided to prank his friend Daniel Protheroe who had left his door unlocked at their barracks in Norfolk whilst he was away on a skiing trip.

Mr Lewis, aged 28, spent around 10 hours completing the prank, with the help of his friend Tom Harcourt, who is also from Swansea, which saw the pair cover every inch of Mr Protheroe's room in silver foil.

From his bed, to the shower curtain, the TV and even the toilet, every possession in the bedroom and bathroom was wrapped in the foil, including his toiletries in the bathroom.

Mr Lewis said: "It took me and my friend Tom the best part of 10 hours and near enough 30 rolls of 30m foil.

"Dan was away skiing with the regiment over the holiday period and he left his door unlocked so to teach him a lesson about kit security and locking your stuff up we decided to foil his room and teach him a lesson to lock up next time.

"His reaction was pretty relaxed as he appreciated it more than anything when seeing the attention to detail after a few minutes.

"It took him over three hours to take everything off and he still hasn't completely taken everything down as he's living with what he needs most removed."

Mr Protheroe, 24, from Port Talbot, said: "I wasn't annoyed, I was more impressed with how good it looked.

"I've never had a key for my room so I couldn't lock it anyway.

"It took me nearly three hours to take it down. The bathroom was the most annoying bit to take down because there was so much tape.

"I'm going to get him back, karma is going to bite him."
