Jimmy Jump's vigil outside Puigdemont's prison, on live TV

 

Jimmy Jump's vigil outside Puigdemont's prison, on live TV

Jimmy Jump's vigil outside Puigdemont's prison, on live TV
INFAMOUS Spanish 'photo-bomber' Jimmy Jump has appeared on a popular talk show to defend Catalunya's deposed regional president Carles Puigdemont, who is currently held in custody in Germany awaiting an extradition hearing.

Jimmy Jump is notorious for 'gatecrashing' live sporting events, such as major football matches, and even burst onto the stage during Spain's performance at the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest.

And he repeated what he does best this week when the channel Telecinco chat show, the 'Ana Rosa Programme', filmed live outside Neumünster prison in Germany's Schleswig-Holstein region.

The 'celebrity' anti-hero interrupted filming to speak of his support for Puigdemont's plight and said he intended to sleep outside Neumünster jail 'every night' until the exiled politician was released.

Jimmy – whose real name is Jaume Marquet i Cot – travelled to Germany on Good Friday by road from his home in Girona in his van.

He plans to use this vehicle as his 'accommodation' outside the prison until Puigdemont gets bail.

Although he had not been scheduled as a guest onto the set of El Programa de Ana Rosa, Jimmy Jump never lets the lack of an invitation stop him – and presenters decided to make the best of it and interview him anyway.

The above photograph, taken during the show, was posted on the Ana Rosa programme's Twitter site (@elprogramadear).
