Man irons shirt on the M1

Drivers heading northbound on the M1 may have been left bewildered after spotting a man in his dressing gown ironing a shirt on a closed lane of the motorway.



The extreme ironing stunt, which involves pressing clothing for fun in adventurous places, took place on the M1 motorway after a section was closed following a fire.

The mystery man, who was wearing a blue dressing gown and slippers, was captured on film by a news cameraman.
