Gough then allegedly took his butter knife and hacked off his right ear in protest, throwing it at Flynn in disgust. Fortunately for Pearse, the severed ear got entangled in chairman Tony Kinder’s hair, thus avoiding any potential harm.
Gough’s brother Theo was on hand to drive him to A&E for urgent treatment, and he is currently awaiting placement in St Paul’s asylum in Arles, France under advisement from Dr Peyron.
