Ade Edmondson found himself at the mercy of a stranger yesterday. The comedian got trapped on a narrow window ledge and it wasn’t long before a crowd gathered around.

The hapless 64-year-old was photographed stuck on the roof and pleaded for help from a passerby.
His calls were heard by Duncan Cumming, 46, who phoned the fire brigade.
The comedian later shared his ordeal on social media, saying his unfortunate antics had caused a stir with those nearby.
Ade, who is famous for his roles in hits including The Young Ones and Bottom, revealed all in view of his 329,000 followers.

He told SWNS: “I saw someone on the roof and thought it looked risky – but when I got closer I knew who it was.
“He shouted to me that he was locked out and asked if I would phone for the fire brigade, which of course I did.”
Duncan added: “I left once I knew he was OK, but it’s not what you see every day.
“Occasionally in London, you do see famous people out and about – just not usually on a window ledge!”
