His balls-up is revealed by former Manchester United ace Brian McClair.

He writes in Manchester United’s magazine: “He applied a hair-remover cream to his nether regions. The cream removed the hair, but also burnt a layer of skin off!

“He is now waiting for test results to confirm whether he will be able to produce children.”

It is important to always read the instructions on any hair removal lotion and carefully follow them.   Usually advice is to test a small area of skin first to check for allergic reaction.

McClair, 46, has a history of airing dressing room secrets in his “Choccy’s diary” column.  Fans have lapped up the news of the hair removal lotion accident.

Mclair also told how United stars played a prank on former player Cristiano Ronaldo, 25, after he was pictured with sweaty armpits.

They stuffed his locker with deodorants, then watched as they tumbled out on the star as he opened it.

Fans are swamping forums trying to discover the identity of the hair-cream star.  Hair removal lotions should be treated with respect as the can contain potent chemicals

A source said: “It could even be someone from a different club, but Brian is staying tight-lipped.”  I wonder if we will ever find out.
