Charlie Brooks, the racehorse trainer accused of trying to pervert the course of justice along with his wife, Rebekah, once drank a bottle of Fairy Liquid to try to cure a hangover, the Old Bailey heard on Monday.
A friend called as a character witness for his defence said that Brooks was "capable of being completely daft".
In a statement read to court, the jury heard that Sara Bradstock, the daughter of the now deceased former jockey and BBC commentator Lord Oaksey, is a good friend of Charlie Brooks, who was the best man at her wedding.
"I once found him frothing at the mouth looking close to death one morning, only to discover that he had not been bitten by a rabid dog, but had drunk a pint of Fairy Liquid to try and rid himself of the excesses of the night before," she said.
