The man behind an unusual 'con' at a Gloucestershire village fete has been caught on CCTV pinning up a poster selling his morph suit.

Footage has been shared on social media showing a man with his hood up taping a poster to the Woolaston Village shop.

Organisers of the Woolaston Village Carnival initially feared the man had conned locals after asking people to pay £1 to guess his identity.

He handed out fliers on the day, which claimed all proceeds would go towards the village hall.

Since the mystery man hit the headlines, £105 was anonymously donated to the retired vicar - but his identity is still unknown.

But not one to shy away from more attention, the mysterious man strikes again by sharing this poster under the cover of darkness.
