In the 1:1 scale porn industry apparently it's quite hard to get regular work as a male adult actor, even if you're willing to do a stint as a left-handed batsmen. It seems like no one's interested in seeing the same bloke biffing and boffing his johnson about and over again, not like they are with the female cast members anyway. So sexist. It's like we don't even have feelings.

Which has led us to wondering whether it's the same in the midget porn industry. Surely the little fellas would be in just as much demand as the little ladies? It's a real bamboozler. Either way, a celebrity lookalike is a valuable commodity in any line of work, especially if the celebrity they look like is Gordon Ramsay, fantasy bedmate of many a lonely, middle-class housewife, and even more so if they're only three foot six. Easy to throw around, see?

Now, this story's actually been around for several weeks and while we were pretty skeptical at first about how real it was, it certainly seems to have passed the usual superficial testing the internet puts stuff like this through. Which is all we can ever ask.

Essentially, Percy Foster, mini Gordon Ramsay lookalike and star of the adult presentation Hi-Ho Hi-Ho, It's Up Your Arse We Go was found (according to The Sunday Sport)

"deep in an underground chamber by Ministry of Agriculture experts ahead of a planned badger gassing near Tregaron, west Wales"

The midget pornstar had also been 'partially gnawed' in the badger burrow and had to be removed by 'fingertip technology' (government jargon for hands, we assume).

It's seemingly unclear exactly how Percy died, although suicide isn't being ruled out. In a recent interview Foster revealed how pleased he was to be Gordon's dickleganger:

"Porn lookalikes get more money than normal actors. Dwarf lookalikes are as rare as hen’s teeth and so can command top dollar.

“I’ve already ordered a new BMW and a diamon-encrusted Soda Stream,"

Lucky bastard. A whole Soda Stream. Then, as if to add insult to injury, when asked what he thought about the whole situation, a spokesman for Gordon Ramsay said the chef "hadn't fucking heard” about the pornstar. Talk about kicking a man when he was down*.

Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

*This hilarious comment applies to both his size and the fact he was found in a badger sett. Clever, eh?
