Reckon it must have been way beyond 10 mph to achieve that.

You don't have to be going fast to overturn a car ... https://youtu.be/P2qzjdH46gY

How much money do you make as a bloody rubbish DJ?!

Reckon he clipped the wheel of the black suv which flipped the car at a relatively slow speed.

He must have been driving very close to the SUV to do that, even heading towards it, looked up, panic grab to the right, hit the front wheel, back to the left to miss the cars parked on the right aaaaaaand over we go.

Pure speculation on my part as is the norm on the internet and most likely I am talking st.

Having said that you would need to be very skilled stunt driver to flip like that and apparently not damage or hit any other parked cars other than the SUV. Very impressive.

So he's rubbish at being a DJ, rubbish at being on TV (hence he got sacked from X Factor) and he's rubbish at driving LOL

I think there is more to this story than he's letting on - not sure at 10mph (as alleged) and paying full attention this would have happened!

[anonymous-user]

Not news. Irritating and talentless.

Ugh. What a hateful cretin this man is.

And why would you go out in public dressed like this:



He looks like a homeless person

[Leins]

Serious question, would the latest cars not have gone through some sort of low-speed Elk-test? Not much use if this genius has tried to drive over another car I suppose though

[eybic]

In the Twitter link you can see damage to the Golf wing so it looks like it was the golf that he hit then flipped it.

Never heard of this person

Count yourself fortunate. He's the most annoying, unfunny, overly camp tosser ever to have graced the airwaves.

Yes, the road is too narrow for anything really silly and there would be more damage to the parked cars. Not paying attention - probably on Twitter.

Bet that slab sided thing made a bit of noise when it fell over!

Not the SUV. The golf by the looks of it.

[culpz]

I seriously don't know how people manage to do stuff like this. It's funny that it's usually "celebrities" like so who somehow fail to surprise you with something daft like this.

Driving around London in a G-Wagon aswell? Really?

Er, and the rest!

I think that will need a new car slipping between the number plates. New wheel arch

Another example of a talent less, overpaid (by us licence payers no less) air head, z lister.

He's not the type of person I'd expect driving a G wagen!

I would have thought a pink Nissan Figaro would have been more up his Street!!

[gforceg]

Maybe this was running through his head.

After visiting the Toronto motor show and sitting in the back of an AMG version he is exactly the type of person I would expect to be driving one!

I didn't bother trying to get in the front as there was a huge queue of people taking selfies in the drivers seat, and after sitting in the back an listening to the 10th person indicating that the three rocker switches on the dashboard are probably for heated seats, or even worse heated tires I realised the days of Farmers driving unstoppable diesel G wagons in the 80s were long gone.

These really are now a fashion statement shod with low profile tires and blacked out windows driven by people who will never know what a capable vehicle they are have!

Each to their own though at least he fessed up and didn't kill anyone!

Reportedly paid £263,792 in 2012

1million for X factor


Never heard of him.

My guess is the g wagons wheel rode up and over the golfs which tipped it. Odd crash.

I've seen him driving around London in it with absurdly loud bass booming out, despite the windows being closed. Pillock.
