'Fonejacker' man reveals death threat

The man behind Fonejacker's prank calls was threatened by one of his victims, he has revealed.

Speaking after winning a BAFTA award for best comedy programme, Kayvan Novak said his worst experience making the show had been "a guy threatening to kill me".

"That was at Christmas time," he explained. "It's amazing how crabby people are about then. I got my best calls around Christmas - I came in when everyone else was on holiday."

Novak also admitted that would-be victims have started recognising his characters as the show has become more popular.

I've had a couple of people who, when I go, 'Hi it's George Agdgdgwngo', they say, 'Oh it's that bloke off Fonejacker'. You just have to put the phone down or deny it and ride it."
