Apologies to all the news reporters i ignored (including you Jon Snow) but I really do not have anything else to say on the matter.

Since the incident occurred, I've been offered up to £75k from media outlets for my story. I've turned them all down.

This story is not about ME And doesn't need to be sensationalised anymore by me selling my story for a few bucks.
