He emerged from the flat around an hour and a half later, after the all clear was given by his friends, he walked a short distance to the car park, posed for a few pictures taken by his friends on their phones.
The little fibber
But he was forced to confess to journalists working for the Sunday People that he was indeed the Northampton clown.
He said: "OK, I am the clown but I’ve been trying to keep it as mysterious as possible. To be discreet so people didn’t find out.
"Your pictures are from the day I went to meet a little girl who only has six months to live.
"Her mum messaged me saying she really wants to meet you before she dies. I took a picture with her and gave her a clown teddy and stuff."
So there it is folks, he's not a terrifying monster likely to be found under your bed, he's actually quite a nice guy...
