A cheeky pair of make-up artists sent an overly eager guy to Buckingham Palace to supposedly meet a girl after an explicit picture he sent "annoyed" them.

The late-night text exchange on popular social media app, Snapchat, saw a boy believed to be from Croydon drive to Westminster in the hopes of seeing the Cardiff native.

One of the girls said: “He added me on Snapchat and sent me two naked pictures.

"I didn’t reply and I ignored him. Then he messaged me at 1am in the morning.

"I messaged him back sarcastically. I thought he knew I wasn’t being serious.”

The unfortunate boy proceeded to Buckingham Palace, without checking the famous postcode SW1A 1AA.

Your Local Guardian:

The boy  only known as ‘JJ’, failed to notice the palace, and even posted that he got "told off” by the guards for where he parked.

The post has since gone viral and was shared more than 10,000 times on Facebook to mixed reactions.

One of the girls, who wished not to be named, said: “I just say things like this all the time for a bit of banter. It was so funny and we was laughing. We felt bad, but then we then we thought that it was only a 20 minute drive.”

Your Local Guardian:

The girls in their 20s said: “People are taking it for what it is. It makes anyone think twice about sending d*ck pic to girls. It is just a bit of fun, but it highlights a much bigger issue. It shows that men are making women sexual objects.”

The boy waited around one hour, before realising it was all a hoax.
