A renowned prankster, who pitched invaded a series of stadiums and played "sex noises" in the Match of the Day studio, has been jailed.
Daniel Jarvis, recognised on social media as "Jarvo69", has been handed a 15-month custodial sentence following his notorious pitch invasion at Twickenham during the England versus Ireland Six Nations fixture in November 2022.
The serial prankster, who has disrupted numerous high-profile sporting occasions over recent years, appeared before Kingston Crown Court on April 27, where the sentence was delivered.
Jarvis was convicted of breaching Section Two of the Fraud Act 2006 after using fraudulent identification to access the national rugby stadium.

His case will return to court on May 10, when judges will consider imposing a Criminal Behaviour Order linked to possession of articles intended for fraudulent purposes.
During the stunt, Jarvis sprinted onto the Twickenham turf dressed in complete England rugby attire before positioning himself at the end of the players' line-up as the national anthems were performed.
His brief moment in the spotlight came to an abrupt end when stadium security personnel took him down and escorted him from the venue.

The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed the outcome in an official statement, which read: "The defendant appeared at Kingston Crown Court on April 27, where he was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment.
"The matter was adjourned to May 10 for consideration of a Criminal Behaviour Order, arising from an offence of possession of articles for use in fraud."
The YouTuber's catalogue of disruptions extends well beyond rugby, having previously caused chaos on the BBC's Match of the Day programme by concealing a mobile phone on set that broadcast explicit audio during the live transmission.

In 2021, Jarvis received a suspended eight-week prison term after running onto the Oval pitch during England's Test match against India, donning an India kit and mimicking a bowling action before colliding with batsman Jonny Bairstow.
That incident, which was heard at Croydon Magistrates' Court, resulted in a two-year ban from all sporting events.
The content creator denied he had intended to disrupt the match, saying: "I get loads of people saying they have got mental health [problems] and my videos make them happy."

A week before his sentencing in Kingston, Jarvis appeared at South Sefton Magistrates' Court when he was issued with a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order for invading Everton's pitch before the rugby league match between Australia and England.
Jarvis stood in full kit alongside the Australian national team, being seen on the TV broadcast, trying to sing the national anthem.
He was banned from attending national and international football fixtures last November for five years following a pitch invasion at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.
