Watch moment Yorkshire man realises he’s wearing dissolving shorts in pool prank on holiday to Cancun

This is the funny moment a man realised he was wearing dissolving shorts while splashing around in a pool on holiday.

Bradley Gaskin, 27, was on a family holiday in Cancun, Mexico, earlier this month (May 3).

His wife, Danielle, 30, had laid out the shorts for him that morning, not telling him they were a prank pair designed to dissolve in water.

Bradley jumped into the pool, but it wasn't long before he noticed his shorts were disappearing.

"I had to wrap a towel around him and luckily I'd brought a spare pair of shorts.

"He thought it was hilarious."
