Devil man Diablo Delenfer says he is "sick" of the media attention he has received since being exposed on this website.

Our story revealed that the 39-year-old benefits cheat had horn implants, a forked tongue, fangs and bright green eyes. It was picked up by national newspapers and turned Delenfer into an overnight media sensation.

Delenfer, who was born Gavin Paslow and lives in Seasalter’s Cordingham Close, said on Tuesday that he had come to resent the media attention.

He told us: "I’m sick of it. I feel this whole thing has been completely blown out of proportion and I’ve got nothing else to say to you."

Earlier this week, The Sun reported that Delenfer’s parents had disowned him because they did not know the extent of his body modifications.

But last week he had been happy to talk about his modifications, explaining how the horn implants cost £200 and the fangs £560.

He said then: "Obviously, there aren’t many people who look like me and some might be a bit taken aback, but other people realise I’m an almost normal human being."

Delenfer denies he is a satanist but has admitted he would like an organic tail and an arched back.

He found himself at Canterbury Magistrates Court earlier this month when he asked for a community service order to be revoked on the grounds that his ill health prevents him completing the hours.

He had been convicted of claiming £3,500 in council tax benefit, income support and housing benefit overpayments.

Magistrates replaced the work order with a three-month curfew which bans him from leaving his house from 5pm to 5am.
