Edinburgh's Sir Chris Hoy forced to leave hotel room at 4am after late-night blunder
Edinburgh Olympian Sir Chris Hoy had to change hotel rooms in the early hours of the morning after receiving a rude awakening. The Team GB icon had to leave his hotel room in Nürburg at 4am after a person in the room above left the bath running. Cyclist Sir Chris travelled to the town in western Germany, home to the legendary Nürburgring circuit, for the Ring Driver's Convention. Sir Chris previously took up motor-racing after retiring from cycling in 2013. The Ring Drivers' Convention was held at the world-famous Nürburgring on Friday, with Sir Chris jumping into a Porsche 992 GT3 RS alongside former Top Gear host Chris Harris, reports the Mirror.

Thought I'd jump in for a passenger lap with this guy in his 992 GT3 RS to learn the lines. Says he knows what he's doing…" Sir Chris stayed overnight Germany on Friday, May 2, at a hotel. But he was in for a rude awakening at 4am on Saturday morning when he was forced to pack up and move. The 49-year-old revealed his ordeal on Instagram, posting a video showing water pouring from the light fixture and pooling on the bathroom floor. The water was from the room above Sir Chris, with that guest having left their bath running. A frustrated Sir Chris wrote: "Big shoutout to the person who left their bath running upstairs and caused me to have to move rooms at 4am." This latest ordeal comes after Sir Chris announced in February last year that he was battling prostate cancer. A tumour was found in his shoulder, and a scan later found the primary cancer in his prostate. It has since metastasised to his bones - including his pelvis, ribs and spine. The cancer is terminal, with the Olympic hero being given two to four years to live. Sir Chris issued an update on his treatment last month, admitting that the diagnosis had 'hit him hard'. But the Scot insisted that he was attempting to take a positive outlook. "When you get given a stage four diagnosis, it's hard to describe how it hits you and how much of a shock it is," he said. "It takes away all the hope, because if you've got stage one, two or three there's always hope that actually you can beat this. "I thought: 'I'd like to do something that reflects how I'm feeling right now, that, actually, life goes on.' Actually, a lot of people are living with stage four. I've been able to get fitter in the last 18 months; post-chemo I've been able to improve. " Cancer has taught me to try to not worry about the future. When you feel fear or stress, it's all about trying to predict the future, and you may be wasting time worrying about the wrong thing entirely and it's only going to spoil your life at the moment."

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SIR Chris Hoy was rudely awoken at 4am after a hotel guest's blunder forced him to move room. The Scottish cycling legend, 49, attended the Ring Drivers' Convention in Nurburg, Germany, yesterday and enjoyed a spin in a Porsche 992 GT3 RS alongside Top Gear presenter Chris Harris. 3 Sir Chris Hoy was rudely awakened at 4am after a hotel guest's blunder forced him to move room Credit: Getty 3 He attended the Ring Drivers' Convention in Nurburg yesterday Credit: Instagram 3 The cycling great, 49, shared a video on social media capturing the carnage Credit: Instagram He shared a selfie of the pair on social media, captioning it: "First time on the @nuerburgring, what a flippin' place. Thought I'd jump in for a passenger lap with this guy in his 992 GT3 RS to learn the lines. Says he knows what he's doing…" The six-time Olympic gold medallist is no stranger to motorsports, having taken up racing after retiring from cycling in 2013. But while away in Germany, Hoy, who is battling terminal cancer, faced an unexpected ordeal during his overnight stay at a hotel. He was forced to pack up and move rooms in the middle of the night when his bathroom flooded after the guest in the room above left their bath running. Sir Chris later posted a video on his Instagram story capturing the chaos. The footage showed water pouring from the light fixture and pooling on the bathroom floor. Frustrated Hoy wrote: "Big shoutout to the person who left their bath running upstairs and caused me to have to move rooms at 4am." It comes after the cycling legend announced in February last year that he was battling prostate cancer. A tumour was found in his shoulder, and a scan later found the primary cancer in his prostate. It has since metastasised to his bones - including his pelvis, ribs and spine. And just weeks before he was told he had up to four years left to live, Hoy's wife Sarra, 44, was also diagnosed with incurable multiple sclerosis. MS is a degenerative and incurable disease.

We told previously how the couple have refused to "become victims" amid their health battles. In an interview to air on Lorraine Kelly's ITV show today, Lady Hoy discussed their struggles since receiving the news. She said: "You just don't sleep, everything is awful. It was about trying to control what I could. "I just thought, I can't do anything about cancer, I can't do anything about MS. What can I do? What can I help? What can I change?"
