Former England skipper Andrew Flintoff seemed to be unaware of his boundaries when he snuck into the Prime Minister's office on a drunken trip to celebrate his team's 2005 Ashes win and was told to 'f*** off'.

Flintoff claimed that a security guard found him boozing in then-leader Tony Blair's chair and told him that he has had his fun and now he should 'f*** off'.

Flintoff has previously admitted turning up at Downing Street in a fairly disheveled state for the team's visit after an all-night boozing session following the historic victory, the Mirror reported.

But now the former skipper has revealed that he went walkabout inside and attempted to stage his own cabinet meeting, before taking a leak in the garden.

Flintoff told campmates, including ex-cricketer Merv Hughes, on the Australian version of 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' that he was at Number 10 to see the Prime Minister after they beat Australia in 2005.

He claimed that they had a function in the garden, adding that he went in the house looking for a toilet but then started wandering around the house and found the Cabinet room, where all the meetings are.

So, Flintoff added that he had a bottle of beer in his hand and was sat in the Prime Minister's chair with his feet on the table, slurping beer and holding a meeting.

The ex-skipper revealed that the security guard came in and said that he has had his fun, and asked him to 'f*** off'.

Flintoff also claimed that he didn't find the toilet, adding that he actually p***ed in the garden.
