A Kent prankster sneaked into the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics after posing as a member of Team GB, and even snapped a selfie with the French President.

Daniel Jarvis, aka Jarvo, from Gravesend shared a video on his social media page of him at the event, which has been seen by more than half a million people within a few hours.

He can be seen wearing the unique Hawaiian shirt worn by Team GB, which features emblems of every nation across Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

In the clip, he wanders up the stage before someone shouts at him to get off.

The YouTuber gets down before chuckling to himself, waving to someone in the crowd and shouting “woo”.

In October, he gate-crashed celebrations at the Rugby World Cup final and stormed the pitch when South Africa collected their trophy after a 12-11 win against New Zealand in Paris.

Then in January 2023, the prankster claimed responsibility for a live TV stunt which saw “sex noises” played while Gary Lineker presented Match of the Day.

The BBC star was left bemused as he fronted coverage of Wolves' FA Cup third-round replay with Liverpool.

As the former England captain spoke, the sound of a woman moaning started playing in the background.

In 2022, Jarvoinvaded a cricket Test match between England and India claiming he was doing it to "make people happy".

Jarvo was kitted out in whites as he leapt over the barrier at The Oval in September 2022 and barged into batsman Jonny Bairstow.
