NORTH West MEP Paul Nuttall has denied that he used to play the character Bungle in the 1970s classic children's TV show Rainbow.
The deputy leader of UKIP had his Wikipedia page edited by Internet pranksters. It read:
“Nuttall was the original Bungle in children’s television show Rainbow.”
He told the Daily Mirror: “I think this is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever read about myself on the internet. I’m all for it.
“Though considering I wasn’t even born when Rainbow started, it makes it very difficult indeed for this to be true. But I do find it really funny that people are making things like this up.”
Mr Nuttall was born in 1976, four years after Rainbow was first aired.
