Nice suit: Comedian Lee Nelson - real name Simon Brodkin -

The comedian, in character as Jason Bent, posed as a part of the England World Cup squad before their departure to Miami Comedian Simon Brodkin, better known as TV's Lee Nelson, was led away by police after trying to go incognito amongst England's World Cup squad ahead of their flight to Miami today.

The TV funnyman was shuffled into the arms of policemen at Luton Airport, after trying to get among the England squad to board the team plane as it descended for Miami.

Brodkin was in character as Jason Bent, a fictitious professional footballer from Brodkin's TV series, and the face of BBC Three show 'World Cup's Best Ever Goals, Ever'.

It isn't the first time that Brodkin has got into trouble for a stunt like this under the guise of Bent. Previously, he trained with Manchester City during a pre-match routine two seasons ago, an act which landed him in court.

Brodkin was led away by police, having somehow linked up with the England players inside the private terminal which they were using today ahead of their flight across the Atlantic.
