I noticed the stop lamp warning light came up on the dash. The 15A fuse under the dash had blown. I put another fuse in and as soon as I touched the brake pedal the fuse blew again. What the hell?

I haven't changed any globes recently or done anything out of the ordinary. Why would the fuse keep blowing.

I should mention it's a VSII Calais.

I removed the light globes (no light globes connected) and tried another fuse. When I pressed the brakes that one blew too. Does that mean anything?

Here's hoping that after 3 years they have the problem sorted eh?

Remove all the boot carpet and check the wiring, somewhere it has most likely rubbed through and touching metal.
Also if you have a trailer plug check the wiring to that and even open the plug up to check the connections.
