Getaway Granny steals antique cabinet from England cricketer-turned-MMA-fighter Adam Hollioake

No one is safe. Despite being a boxer, MMA fighter and prominent former England cricketer, Adam Hollioake still gets mugged... by an OAP.

Selling your wares online is, perhaps, always tinged with slight apprehension but when a "little old lady" around 70 years old is the buyer those fears would naturally be allayed.

But allay them at your peril, as Hollioake learned the hard way when he was fleeced for a cabinet by a gutsy Granny on Gumtree.

After helping elderly woman load the furniture into her car, Hollioake was told to wait while she retrieved the money from her glove box only to leave the ex-cricketer eating dirt as she floored it.

The 45-year-old wrote on Facebook: "I just sold an antique cabinet on Gumtree and a little old lady (about 70) came round to collect it.

"She seemed pleasant enough and we discussed getting it in her car and I helped her lay her seats down and lifted the cabinet into the car for her.

"Anyway, she said I will just get the cash out the glove box for you.... she drives off!!! With my cabinet!!! Without paying me!!!

He signed off with: "Ex Professional fighter rolled by cute little old granny!!!"

When one concerned commentator urged Hollioake to contact the police to track down the "badass nanny", the former all-rounder replied: "She deserves to keep it....just for her audacity."

No one is safe.
