Stephen Merchant has addressed rumours he is Banksy after appearing on BBC's The One Show to discuss the latest series of his comedy-thriller The Outlaws. The true identity of street artist Banksy has been a hot topic of discussion for many years and his artwork featured in Stephen's BBC series in 2021.
The 47-year-old Hanham-born comedian and screenwriter's latest instalment of the The Outlaws returned to BBC One on Sunday evening (June 5). The crime comedy drama set in Bristol, follows seven strangers who are forced together to do community service.
