Shayne Ward nearly drowns wrestler during video shoot

Former X-Factor winner Shayne Ward reportedly threw the wrong midget wrestler into a pool during a video shoot, nearly drowning him before rescuing him.

Well, apparently this is true. God knows why former X-Factor winner Shayne Ward was required to throw a Mexican midget wrestler into a swimming pool for a video shoot, but apparently he was. Sounds as though this promo is full of artistic merit.

Anyway, Ward accidentally picked up the wrong midget, one who had his mouth covered by a face mask which meant he could barely breathe in the water, and therefore might have drowned, if Shayne hadn't rectified the mistake by leaping into the pool to get the wrong midget out.

An 'insider' is quoted as saying: "Shayne was obviously really embarrassed by what happened - luckily his 'victim' thought it was hilarious, and they all ended up having a right laugh about it".
