Bob Mortimer has shared a throwback snap from his time living in a homeless hostel in Peckham in the 1980s.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, he posed a snap of himself sitting on a sofa smoking in his flat while the television played in the background.

At the time, he was working as a solicitor for the council and although he was not actually homeless, he liked the hostel.

He captioned the snap: 'Living in homeless hostel. Peckham 1985. Smoking hard and loving life.'

Speaking on Desert Island discs in 2019, he revealed that there was a cockroach infestation in flats in the borough and he took the borough to court over it.
