‘Big John’ Fisher detained upon landing in Australia and will be deported on his birthday

Very much not a 'bosh' from the Australian Border Force

'Big John' Fisher has announced that he's been detained by the Australian Border Force despite having a legal visa and is going to be sent home on his birthday.

The social media star has become known for his love of takeaway food, though more recently he's been called upon in the recent debate over people putting up flags everywhere.

Turns out the big fella with a penchant for saying 'bosh' and enjoying the finest culinary delights the world has to offer in the form of a massive takeaway recently visited a Chinese in York which had been vandalised with paintings of England flags.

Like a true gent he went to stand with those going through it, and also see what they had on their menu, but his latest trip has been cut short.

"I'm in Australia but bad news, I'm flying home tomorrow, on my birthday," he told his fans, saying that even though he had a visa they weren't happy with him making money while there.

"I've been detained by Border Force for four hours and I'm not in a holding hotel. My visa was legal coming in but they're not happy with what I'm doing here so they're sending me home.

"I'm sorry Australia - I'm sorry Perth, sorry Sydney - I won't be at any of my appearances this weekend, but please support the ones I was going to be at because they're going to be good days.

"I'll let you know more when I get home. To be truthful I just want to get home. All the best, let's have it. Bosh; or no bosh."

Sadly it seems like it'll be a case of 'no bosh' for Big John, and the bloke will spend his birthday (15 October) flying away from where he wanted to be.

With the passing of Jack Karlson last year, Australia has sorely needed someone who can appreciate a meal, a succulent Chinese meal.

After his profile got a boost recently ,he told The Times he'd actually not travelled around very much apart from family holidays to Cornwall, but when he gained viral fame he was jetting around the world to meet fans.

He told them about a meet and greet in LA which was supposed to last for three hours but had to be extended to five hours because so many people showed up.

As such it's likely that Big John will feel plenty of love wherever he ends up next and there'll be plenty of Australians lamenting the fact that they won't be able to meet the man himself.

Here's hoping that wherever the Australian Border Force sends him tomorrow has a good Chinese waiting for him.
