He was outraged when he discovered a parking fine slapped on his black range rover while parked in Cheltenham town centre on Wednesday – despite being legally parked. Dismayed Dom fell for the comedy parking notice and ranted on Twitter: “Come back to my legally parked car in Cheltenham to find this - livid.
