The TikTok ghoul who filmed police recovering Nicola Bulley's body is unmasked

A ghoulish TikToker who duped police to covertly film the body of Nicola Bulley being recovered from the River Wyre has been unmasked and strongly criticised by viewers who use the platform. Curtis Arnold filmed an eight-minute clip of police officers by the water's edge and posted the grim footage on several social media channels.

The 34-year-old barber, who contributed to a social media frenzy that saw users flock to St Michael’s on Wyre in search of the mum-of-two, later admitted to earning close to £1,000 in royalties for the posts after its near million views.

He also posted footage of an ashen-faced couple in shock after finding the mortgage advisor's body in reeds by the river last Sunday (February 19). Arnold previously filmed a 'possible burial site' in woodland near where Nicola was last seen on January 27 and headlined a string of videos with outrageous smears against her partner Paul Ansell.
