However, it wasn’t smooth sailing for Jason after arriving at his hotel for the night, he was told this the hotel was fully booked and his room had been re-sold to someone else.

Jason posted a series of videos on Instagram to highlight this issue, in his first video he said: “Village hotel just beware if you’re booking and it’s a busy day and a busy city [...] naughty that, naughty. I’ve heard of aeroplanes doing that but I’ve never known in all my 25 years of touring, a hotel doing it. That’s not on. That is not on. We’ve managed to make the best of our situation.”

In Jason Manford’s most recent video on the situation he said that Village Hotels had asked him to take down his video but he has refused.

He said: “Now they’ve asked me to take the video down, politely, but I’m not going to because I think it’s important that people know that this is happening for one, what if it was a wedding or you had kids with you? Or a million different situations that you could have been in which are much more serious than mine.

“It’s wrong. Fundamentally it’s wrong. What I will say is it’s not the not the staff’s fault, this is the problem with these big companies because that’s someone in an office, making a policy that makes them more money eventually, I presume that’s the reason they’re doing it, but they don’t have to deal with the s**t.

Adding: “The staff there then have to deal with upset customers. [...] I’m not going to take the video down because I think it’s right that people know that’s what your company is doing.”
