'Today, we were on a kayak - me, myself and my daughter. We both fell off and I couldn't get back in.
So I decided to push my daughter to shore to save her because we were miles out, miles out, miles out.' His daughters then interjected on his 'fake' story, while wife Jane said the water was only 'knee deep', but Colin continued. 'I'm telling the real story.
.. and as I pushed my daughter in because I was saving her life it was so far away.
.. It wasn't shallow, it was deep and I was saving your life.
.. I grazed my leg on an oyster rock, which split it right open, split it,' he added.
'Even the guy at the desk vomited,' Colin continued. 'But I will say, big ups to the hospital. It was packed.
.. Obviously I paid cash, so I got through straight away.
But they looked after me so well.' The chef then showed off his patched-up injury, which he said required 10 stitches, before getting brutally roasted by his family.

I had to get a taxi on my own, basically patch myself up. And that's today's news from Thailand,' he said. 'You've made a mountain out of a molehill,' his wife Jane said, calling him a 'baby elephant' who struggled to get back into the capsized kayak.
