Comedy Terrorist 'swamped with TV offers'

Comedy Terrorist Aaron Barschak claims he could make £1 million from gatecrashing Prince William's birthday party.

His father Fred has told reporters he has been fielding offers from TV stations around the world willing to pay thousands of pounds for the inside track on the Windsor Castle break-in.

The 72-year-old lawyer told The Mirror: "There's been a fantastic amount of interest. He may be going on Have I Got News For You. They're very keen. I think he will be very good. He is very quick witted.

"They're offering thousands of pounds eachy. I think this is just the start of his long career in television."

However, the BBC say that they are not looking for any guests for the next series of the topical quiz, as the last run has only just finished.

Whatever his potential earnings, Barschak says he is already "fed up" with the furore his audacious stunt has caused.

He told the BBC: "I've gone too far and it won't happen agai. I did it as a publicity stunt and it's all come crashing down."

"I'm fed up with it, I don't want it any more."
