A man who has claimed to be the son of notorious prisoner Charles Bronson has revealed that his story was made up for publicity.

"Me and Charlie, together, made up the story that he was my dad," George Bamby told TalkTV in an exclusive interview.

Mr Bamby said Bronson approached him six years ago after he saw him on TV and reckoned he was "really good with the media."

"Charles Bronson is not my father ... I am a PR agent, I'm a marketing person, and I'm the UK's number one paparazzi," he said.
