You do all know that he's not real. Don't you?

Anyway, he's played by a guy called Leigh Francis. Avid Merrion featured in sketches on a show called Whatever I Want that was shown on ITV a couple of years ago. In them Avid talked about celebrities that he was obsessively waiting for to get their autograph.

Then he was on a programme called Show Me the Funny on E4 where he actually started to stalk real celebrities and give them strange presents.
