The controversial BN star was being driven to the opening of a Londis in his faded red Opel Corsa when the vehicle caught fire, it's mighty 1.2 litre engine struggling to cope at speeds reported to have topped 45 miles an hour.

Witnesses report that Gapford's driver Jevo pulled the car on to the hard shoulder and then bailed into some bushes for the laugh.
Gapplication proceeded to put out the blazing inferno by telling it about a job he was doing in the RDS for some reason.

Speaking to ButtNuggetCrew.com, Gapford seemed shaken 'I've got, I've got, I've got, faith, faith of the heart'.

This isn't the first time that Gapford has brushed with death during his time in the BN Crew, in 199heaven he scanned for some bio signs and gave it the gimmick.
