THE FLUSTERED hubby of a stunning Instagram model panicked after he found a pair of size 30 granny pants under the seat of his courtesy car.
Red-faced Jamie Smedley, 36, took his £100,000 Mercedes G-Wagon to a local dealership for repairs and was given another motor until it was fixed.

He drove home in the Mercedes GLB 220 to pick up size 6 wife, Manuela Mosca, 29, ahead of a city centre shopping trip.
But Jamie misplaced the keys and began rummaging under the passenger seat in case they had fallen down during the journey.
Businessman Jamie, of Sheffield, South Yorks, said: "I felt something under the seat and pulled it out, not quite sure what it was.
"Then I realised I was holding a pair of women's knickers.
"How on earth they ended up there I don't know because the car had just been given to me a few minutes earlier as a courtesy vehicle.
"I took them out and held them up and realised they were threadbare, had holes in them and we were size 26-30.

"My first thought was 'how do I explain this to my wife?'
"She was in the house and I was about to pick her up to go shopping.
"She's a size 6 herself but I was worried in case she'd think I'd started developing an interest in bigger girls."
He added: "I decided honesty was the best policy and took them into the house to show her."
Manuela gave him a steely stare as he tried to explain the lacy black knickers - but then burst out laughing at his spluttering explanation.
She was so amused she captured the moment on video and can be heard laughing: "Did you honestly think they were mine?"
Relieved Jamie said: "She saw the funny side straight away but it's left me thinking that it could have got me into serious trouble.
"I'll be asking the garage for an explanation.
"When you get a courtesy car to use while yours is being repaired you don't expect a pair of worn knickers under the passenger seat."
Jamie and Manuela, who have a son Alessio, 20 months, have run their own online clothing brand, Sorelle UK, since 2014.
Manuela, who has almost 800,000 Instagram followers, said: "It didn't take long to see the funny side, the look on his face was hilarious."
