He revealed his ordeal later on stream, wearing an orange jumpsuit and a fake pair of handcuffs.
AngryGinge said: "For sitting in a car, they got us, you don't do that at F1.
"They locked us up for watching somebody else sitting in a car - they locked SamHam up for watching somebody else sit in a car.
"They locked Chazza up for sitting in a car, criminal damage, they tried to say.
"30 grand, they tried to say…"
AngryGinge continued: "Security's then come over, a very funny little moment where I've tried to grass Chaz up.
"Two hours have gone past, you'd have thought I assaulted someone, let me tell you…Chazza has sat in an F1 car.
"I offered to show him the video there and then.
"The words, okay, from the gentleman in the cap, 'there's no point, mate. You can show us at the station.'
"What the f*** is going on here then? We pull up into custody, he said, 'Do you want a solicitor?'
"And I said, 'Sarge, I'm all right, thanks'. He then replied, 'Why don't you want a solicitor?' Done f*** all wrong mate.
He added: "My toilet has got skids in. He's gone, 'would you like any
food and drink
?' - 'What've you got, mate?'
"He said, 'We've got pot noodles'.
"So, anyway, I've managed to fall asleep, then about 10 seconds go by, and a guy in the cell
next
to me starts banging for no reason.
"10 o'clock in the morning, I'm thinking it is, and the door opens, I'm thinking it might be interview time.
"Officer opens it, 'you're free to go, there's no further action.'
"I've just spent 15 hours in a concrete block, and I'm now being told, no further action.
"I've not been questioned, interviewed, and that's that.
"All three of us have just been let out at the same time, no further action, done finished."
