WEDNESDAY VIRAL VID - ONE FAT GUY & KARATE KICKING CHINESE FOOTY FAN

A portly, balding man - nicknamed the news raider and the fat guy who wants to be on television - has been spotted during live reports on the BBC, ITV, Sky and Channel 4, at a string of diverse locations. Bloggers have identified him as a community worker from south London called Paul Yarrow. The profile picture on Mr Yarrow's Facebook page matches that of the mystery man. Furthermore, a 'Paul Yarrow' has also applied to go on Big Brother 2010, saying he is "currently known as the fat guy who wants to be on television" and is "very well known in south London, working in the voluntary sector". He has also been spotted on the BBC website, in a story about an unofficial ceremony marking the fifth anniversary of the 7/7 bombings, and in the background of an episode of the BBC programme Antiques Roadshow. Most of the sightings have been in London, including outside the Houses of Parliament, Peckham, Hyde Park and the Gaza protest march in May that went from Downing Street to the Israeli embassy. He started coming to mainstream attention late last year, when comedian Russell Howard featured him on his BBC show Russell Howard's Good News, giving him the sobriquet of the "fat guy who just wants to get on TV". Howard used a Sky News clip showed him moving in front of the camera to get into shot 10 times. He then appeared on a later edition of the show, this time in a clip from BBC News, doing the same thing. A website, fidgetwith.com, has been tracking his appearances and wondering who he is, and displaying screenshots of his various appearances - the most recent of which is last week.
