Kids of the 1990s will fondly remember Neil Buchanan from his hit TV shows Art Attack and Finders Keepers.

However, rumours recently started to emerge that the star may be none other than famous and elusive street artist Banksy.

Originating on social media, many people were quick to give their thoughts on Buchannan as the man behind the graffiti, leading to his website being overwhelmed by enquiries.

However, the artist and presenter has issued a statement claiming he is not Banksy. In the statement on his website, Buchanan said:  “We have been inundated with enquiries over the weekend regarding the current social media story.

“Unfortunately, this website does not have the infrastructure to answer all these enquiries individually, however, we can confirm that there is no truth in the rumour whatsoever.

“?Neil spent lockdown with vulnerable members of his family and is now preparing to launch his new art collection in 2021.”

While the famed presenter is not Banksy, according to him, he is a man of many talents and played in a heavy metal band called Marseille in the 1970s, later choosing art over his music career after touring with the band for several years.
