“I was shaking and nervous, I had been driving for two days and getting followed on a motorway.”
On Monday, Littler posted an image to Instagram displaying off his new BMW and driving certificates with the caption, ‘Get innn, first time and 0 minors’.
Nonetheless, the world No 2 has since revealed the publish was to stop the paparazzi benefiting from the state of affairs.
“That’s why I posted the car so he couldn’t sell his pictures,” Litter shared.
