BBC star 'banned' from clothes store after publicly slamming extra-large brand


Stephen Merchant has been banned from a clothes store after he complained about its extra-large offerings - but the 6ft 7in comedian says it was "probably for the best"

The towering 'The Office' co-creator, who is 6ft 7in, found himself barred by the chain's staff following his less-than-flattering comments about their range in a Time Out interview. In another funny turn of events, Stephen also recently revealed on a US talk show that he used to carry three wallets while out in London, two of which were decoys in case he got mugged. Adding to his string of comical misadventures, he recounted during his latest stand-up special how he once mistook a woman's intentions when she approached him in Trafalgar Square during New Year celebrations.
