Now Shaun the Sheep has had a close shave with the law in Norfolk.

Police found him when they seized a Vauxhall Corsa in King's Lynn last night.

A routine check showed the car was being driver without insurance.

"It's a baaaaaad day for Shaun as the owner left him to wait for recovery and to be towed away," one officer tweeted. "The driver has been reported."
