There was also a growing number of wedding-related items being left by brides, grooms and wedding guests, including an Islamic marriage certificate and a wedding cake piñata.

Shakila Ahmed from Travelodge said: "In 2021, following Freedom Day, we welcomed back millions of customers to our hotels and we saw a significant increase in bookings. This has led to a range of interesting items being left behind by our customers across our UK hotels.

"When it comes to why so many of our customers forget their treasured items, it's basically due to us all being time-poor, juggling multiple tasks and being in a hurry to get from A to B. In the rush, valuable possessions are easily forgotten."
