A PRANKSTER gatecrashed the winners’ enclosure at the Cheltenham Festival following the Gold Cup.
The idiot even tried to photo bomb a picture of the winners during their special moment.
Galopin Des Champs romped home to win the Gold Cup race on Friday afternoon.
At 11-10 he was the red-hot favourite to land the trophy.
And that is exactly what he did to score his second Gold Cup victory in a row and give trainer Willie Mullins an emotional victory – a month after losing his mum.
However, the winners’ enclosure was the subject of infiltration from prankster Daniel Jarvis, also know as Jarvo.

Taking to social media, he posted an image of himself wearing a garish yellow and green jockey top paired with blue jeans.
With the prankster of a large build, it was quite clear he wasn’t a real jockey.
That didn’t stop him from trying to muscle in on the winners’ special moment, risking tarnishing the celebrations.
He was spotted trying to edge in as photographs were taken of the horse and it’s connections.

Jarvis himself posted a picture with the caption: “Me in the winning enclosure, I have now won the Cheltenham Gold Cup!!!!”
The Cheltenham Racecourse website says that while there is no explicit dress code for attending the races, many do like to dress up for the occasion.
Their website adds: “Cheltenham Racecourse is the Home of Jump Racing and The Cheltenham Festival is home to some of the finest racing in the world, and with the finest racing often comes the finest fashion…
“Style is as individual as you. The Cheltenham Festival is the perfect occasion to wear your best outfits and favourite accessories…
“Fancy dress is permitted in other areas as long as the outfit isn’t offensive, and at our discretion, we reserve the right to decline entry should the need arise.”
Many people in the winners’ enclosure followed tradition in stylish outfits including shirts, blazers and ties and dresses – making Jarvis’ choice of attire all the more daft.
Jarvis has previously pranked Match of the Day – leaving Gary Lineker stunned – and the Euro 2024 draw by playing porn noises out loud.
Meanwhile, he also idiotically invaded the pitch during the Rugby World Cup final celebrations as South Africa lifted the trophy.
