BUT, repeatedly pecking his iPad screen for half an hour with her beak, Penelope locked Timms out of his account for 1.9 million hours, 79,205 days – or 217 years.

A spokesman for Mugbet said:

“We can unfreeze Timms' account in 2226, but coz he was in profit there's f*ck all we can do.”

Penelope, who has completely vanished since the incident, has been much missed by young Timmy Timms, aged 5.

“Daddy says the chicken has gone to join mummy, who left with Uncle Roger to live in Leeds.”

Gareth Timms said: “I was on a bloody good winning spree.

“Still, we'll have a nice casserole tonight”
