Freeze a jolly cold fellow

Love cheat Sun Meng has been given the cold shoulder by his community after snaps of him cowering naked on an air conditioner were posted online by a furious husband.

Terrified Sun, 25, fled onto the vent when his lover's husband caught them romping at their flat in Chengdu, central China.

Now snaps of the showdown - taken by a neighbour - have been uploaded onto a local community website.

"My family is ashamed and none of my own neighbours will talk to me any more. I know what I did was wrong but I was afraid he would kill me.

"People are even laughing at how I look naked - but I have to point out it was a very cold day," said Sun.
