THE Emmerdale soap star set to marry a Bolton girl next week was the brunt of a starkers stag night stunt.

Glenn Lamont, who plays womaniser Richie Carter in the ITV soap, will tie the knot with long-time girlfriend Cheryl Hackett, six years after they met when she moved to Leeds to go to university.

Glen and Cheryl will wed next Saturday at a lavish ceremony in Harrogate.

But before he settles down for good, Glenn, whose character is famous for a steamy affair with the wife of farmer Jack Sugden, has had no fewer than FOUR stag nights -- including one in New York.

But on his latest booze-up in Chapel Allerton, Leeds, where the pair live, Glenn fell victim to an embarrassing prank with around 20 mates. He was stripped naked and left handcuffed on a busy roundabout.

Passers-by spotted the star and took photos before his mates later returned to release him.

Jane Walker, who went home to get her camera when she spotted Glenn, told a national newspaper: "He was sat there for about 20 minutes with all the passers-by laughing at him. We asked if he was okay and he said he was fine. He was laughing and having a really good time."

Glenn was given a towel by a nearby shopkeeper to cover his modesty while he sat, chatting to Cheryl on his mobile phone, waiting for his friends to return.
