The unnamed bachelor was chained to the midget for the duration of his pre-wedding celebrations, it was revealed today.

The prank was revealed on a soccer fans website.

The guy's pals rented the midget - a professional actor - at a cost of £850.

A pal was quoted on the website. He said: "One of the guys here at work just came back from a four day stag do.

"Basically they rented a midget for the four days and handcuffed him to the stag. They painted the midget blue and dressed him like a Smurf and the poor guy had to be handcuffed 24 hours of the day for four days to the stag.

"The guys on the stag paid for all the midget's food and drink and paid for his flight etc (cost around £850 if you wanted to do the same) but the guy had to do everything with the stag....eat, drink, swim, shower, sleep, wee etc etc.

"This has got to be the funniest Stag prank I have ever seen."

The man who posted the message on the website - complete with photo of bachelor and dwarf - added: "Please can I just say that no midgets were harmed during the weekend."
