However, the star went on to explain he had encountered a further complication.

After being directed to the prison – which has a charging point – he wasn’t permitted to use it.

Ryan added: “It’s coming out of their money or something. I said, ‘I’ll pay for it’ anyway, long story short, it wasn’t happening.

Fortunately, he concluded by saying someone had let him use their charging point, but it would be a while before being done.

One person commented: “This is why I can’t go electric.”

Another added: “Why I won’t have an electric car.”
