Fifa's Sepp Blatter Showered With 'Money' By TV Prankster Simon Brodkin

Prankster Simon Brodkin, who stormed the Glastonbury stage during Kanye West's set, has made another unscheduled appearance during Sepp Blatter's press conference - throwing money at the Fifa president.

Before Mr Blatter began speaking at the conference in Zurich, the comedian - in his character of Jason Bent - barged in front of the 79-year-old and laid down a wad of cash.

Mr Blatter could be heard calling for his security, before Brodkin was lead away.

On his way out, Brodkin - stage name Lee Nelson - threw another bundle of notes at Mr Blatter, saying "here you go Sepp".

Mr Blatter was heard saying that the stunt "was not about football" before stepping out of the room for a short time.

Shortly after the stunt, Brodkin tweeted a photo of himself gatecrashing the event from the account @Jason9Bent, with the message: "Excited to be at FIFA meeting Sepp Blatter to secure the #NorthKorea2026 World Cup."

But the comedian is not new to showing up to events uninvited.

During rapper West's headline set on Glastonbury Saturday, Brodkin appeared on stage as Nelson wearing a T-shirt with 'Lee-Zus' on it before being removed by security.

This was again followed by him posting a photo on his Twitter account, accompanied by the message: "Some people were saying Kanye shouldn't headline Glastonbury so I thought I'd give him a hand."
