A top Oxford University student has been caught wrestling naked on the college croquet lawn - for the second time this term.
Ben Tansey - secretary of the historic Oxford Union - was seen rolling around with two rugby pals in the middle of his posh college's quad.
The three were stopped by a college porter, who spotted their drunken antics on his CCTV screen. Tansey was hauled before the college Dean, who fined him.
It is the second time this term that Tansey has landed himself in hot water with his love for clothes-free bouts.
One student at the prestigious Lincoln College reported being woken by "load groaning noises and screams" coming from Grove Quad, croquet lawn early one morning.
He said: "I got out of bed and found that there were people wrestling on the croquet lawn. I could see that it definitely involved Ben Tansey and two other males.
"They appeared to be naked. They were on top of each other and rolling around on the floor. There were a few girls sat on the bench watching as well."
Other witnesses identified a second wrestler as second year philosophy and economics student Joseph Moore.
A porter then approached the birthday-suited trio, reminding them: "We've got video cameras in the lodge." By-standers said the bare-faced trio then put their clothes back on and went on their way.
A source at the college said it was the second time Tansey, a second year Politics, Philosophy and Economics student, had been collared for getting to grips with his pals' naked flesh.
Porters stated simply: "There was one before." The culprits were fined £50 pounds each by the Dean, who apparently also informed them the college had some "very interesting" footage of their antics on May 4.
Previous members of the Oxford Union committee have included: Boris Johnson, William Gladstone, Benazir Bhutto and Michael Foot.
In October last year Jack Orr-Ewing was booted out of Lincoln College for a year for filming two fellow students through a window while they performed sex acts on each other.
The footage from his mobile phone circulated among the university's undergraduates and even found its way onto the internet.
