Lee Nelson: Who is comedian who threw money over Sepp Blatter at Fifa press conference?

Nelson has a history of invading stages, football pitches and conferences

The comedian Simon Brodkin is more commonly known by his stage name Lee Nelson and by his alter ego Jason Bent.

Brodkin disrupted proceedings at Fifa on Monday when he ran into a conference in character as Bent and threw a wad of cash over Sepp Blatter’s head.

The 38-year-old has appeared on a number of BBC Three shows and has become known for his attempts at invading football pitches and conferences while dressed as a middle-ranking premiere league footballer.

He made his first attempt at accessing Blatter's Fifa press conference in May but failed to get into the secure area.

In light of his successful attempt, here are just a few of his infamous appearances.

Nelson was most recently spotted invading the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury as Kanye West was performing in retribution for West’s stage invasion while Taylor Swift was accepting an award.

X-Factor 2014

Brodkin disrupted a performance from Stereo Kicks during the X-Factor final, appearing on stage with a microphone dressed as a boyband member. He was swiftly dragged off-stage by security.

Brodkin almost made it onto the England World Cup squad plane with the team dressed as Bent in 2014. His plot was foiled at the last minute by the police who bundled him away from other footballers in memorable scenes.
