Oh dear, Colin Johnston, aka @Wollygogg, has gotten himself into a wee spot of trouble.
Last night, presidential candidate Marine Le Pen was defeated by Emmanuel Macron in the French elections.
Some were positive that Le Pen’s victory was inevitable, including this Tweeter, who placed a £500 bet on a Le Pen victory:
However, @Wollygogg encountered a problem in that his ’13 year old child’ placed a bet:
Colin Johnston was outraged:

@ryxnf @Wollygogg Hey Ladbrokes...my son forgot to put 3 grand on Celtic winning the league like I told him to. Can I get my payout?

@ryxnf @Wollygogg I'll have €500 on Colin not getting his £500 back.

@Wollygogg @Ladbrokes @haltonadam23 @theJeremyVine Hi Colin, I work for NowThis and we'd like to feature this story. Could you tell us which bet your son made?

@Wollygogg @Ladbrokes @haltonadam23 @theJeremyVine Oh, apologies Colin. My 13 yr old tweeted that request. Sorry if it seemed like that was legitimate.

@Wollygogg @theJeremyVine Yes but I'd like to know more about your predicament first please.

@Wollygogg @theJeremyVine Sorry Colin. I don't work for Jeremy Vine. My 13yo tweeted that as a joke.
