Cut-out best man

A racing driver sent a life-sized cardboard cut-out of himself and a pre-recorded speech to be best man at a wedding.

Racing driver Andy Priaulx couldn't be there in person because he was racing in Brazil, reports the Daily Mirror.

The cut-out stood next to the altar as Andy Richmond, 34, and Carlee Yates, 27, tied the knot in front of 100 guests.

Carlee even took the cut-out for a dance after the ceremony.

Andy, 32 - twice world touring car champion - had to drop out after unexpectedly being called to race in South America.

The BMW ace hired a sign-maker to create the 6ft photograph of himself for the the wedding at Castle Cornet in Guernsey.

And during the race in Brazil he wore a message on his crash helmet wishing the couple good luck.

Nursery worker Carlee said: "It was brilliant. It was funny and emotional, a real tear-jerker. Andy pulled out all the stops. He was determined to be in two places at once."

I wonder if I could do this at work?

Only if you're a "twice world touring car champion."
