A man found himself locked up in a Croatian cell for his entire holiday after border guards discovered he was trying to enter the country with someone else's passport.

An unlucky dad found out he had managed to leave Manchester using his stepdaughter's passport to board his flight. David Chadwick, 57, was excited as he boarded a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Croatia for a romantic five-day break with his wife Alison, 46.

But, when he was stopped by border guards after landing at Zagreb Airport, David realised he'd brought his stepdaughter's passport - instead of his own.

Holding just the passport belonging to his stepdaughter, 21-year-old Katherine, and no personal identification, David was detained for his entire holiday in a cell at Zagreb Airport.
