It's a sad day her at BadJocks as our official streaker, Mark Roberts from the UK, is calling it quits after years of streaking his way across hundreds of events . . . including the Super Bowl.
But he does have a good reason: his son is getting embarrased by his antics.
He's going to put it away ... but not just yet. The world's most notorious streaker has decided to hang up his novelty cod pieces and keep his clothes on – but he wants to go out with a bang and he's determined to drag everyone else into it. Mark Roberts, 48, from Liverpool has streaked 518 times, including at the Super Bowl; on a live weather forecast on This Morning; at Miss World; at the Ryder Cup; and at the bull running in Pamplona. Now he wants the public to join him. "I'm retiring, but I want to do one last mass streak with hundreds or thousands of people, where I go on first and whistle for them," he told The Independent on Sunday. So far he hasn't had many takers, but he is hopeful his appearance in a Channel 4 documentary on Thursday, called Streak! The Man Who Can't Keep His Clothes On, will garner him some recruits: "I put a message on my website but I only got one or two people answering it and I'm pretty sure one was a policeman." Mr Roberts, who is now single and jobless, says he has decided to keep his clothes on for the sake of his children, Rebecca, 24, Mark, 19, and Georgie, 15. "They said it's time you finish. When I suggested The X Factor they said, 'Dad, please don't do that, my friends watch it'."
