Happy Mondays dancer Bez sneaked into Glastonbury after a drugs ban – dressed as a Mexican.
The Celebrity Gogglebox star had been busted by cops for having an ecstasy tablet at the festival.
Bez, real name Mark Berry, revealed: “At Glastonbury 1998, I got arrested by undercover police ‘on suspicion of intent to supply drugs’.

“They said I was selling E, but I actually only had one pill on me, so I got nicked for that – one E.
“That morning, someone had given me a drink called ‘The Future’, and everybody who drank one ended up doing some pretty crazy s***.

“When they tried to arrest me, I went a bit insane on this stuff and had a big fight with the police – it took 30 of them to contain me. Believe me, there’s definitely no future in that s***.
“I duly got taken off the site to a custody unit in Yeovil and went to court the next morning, where among other things I was told I wasn’t allowed back into Glastonbury.”

But Bez, 58, explained in his new book Buzzin’ that he ignored the order and slapped on a disguise instead,
He said: “Damien Hirst’s wife, Maia, came and picked me up after the hearing, and she just happened to have this Mexican costume in the car.
“So, with a big sombrero and a false moustache, which she affixed onto my lip with sticky tape, I reinvented myself as a Mexican, illegally crossing the border into Glastonbury – like Mexicans do, apparently.

“No way was I getting banned from Glastonbury, and the disguise only really convinced the people it was meant to fool – the Old Bill.”
It comes after Celebrity Gogglebox star Bez revealed was stung on his willy by 10 of his pet bees.
The dancer started his beekeeping hobby with some of the “hardest” bee “f***ers” on the planet who left him “looking like the Elephant Man”.
