TWO Blackpool men have admitted imprisoning and using a stun gun on a man over a drugs debt.
Preston Crown Court heard how Stephen Brown got in a car with Lee Broadbent and Calum Holmes only to be assaulted by the two men.

They pleaded guilty to actual bodily harm assault and false imprisonment at court.

Judge Edward Slinger warned Broadbent - a well known Blackpool amateur footballer - and Holmes they would both be jailed for the offences.

He said: "You have taken very sensible advice and pleaded guilty to a number of matters.

"The case will now be adjourned for sentencing which is expected to take place on Monday, November 10.

"All sentencing options are open and with certainty you will receive immediate custodial sentences."

The incidents happened on Blackpool Business Park on March 3.

Both men were remanded in custody until November 10.
