George Bamby is not the son of notorious prisoner Charles Bronson, he has revealed.
In a shocking revelation, the man who purported to be the long-lost son of the infamous criminal announced the pair of them have been involved in a long-term moneymaking facade.
Bronson has always only had one son, but in 2017, he appeared to have been stunned by a DNA test proving he had two.
Instead, Bamby has now revealed it was all a ruse to manipulate the media, and they have both profited from it financially.

He told Talk TV: “I went to visit him and then I was banned from visiting him because I was a journalist, so me and Charlie made up the story that he was my dad.
“Charles Bronson is not my father. I am a PR agent, I’m a marketing person and I’m the UK’s number one paparazzi.
“I’ve not told anybody this for six years and it’s been the absolute bane of my life.
“I wanted to be able to speak rather than have a newspaper do an interview and write a load of rubbish.
“Me and Charlie, over the past six years have made loads of money, created loads of stories, had loads of fun, we’ve manipulated the media and the prison service.
“I got into the maximum security prisons in four different facilities as a journalist.
“Not only did I do that, but I also filmed him for 12-and-a-half hours. I did everything with his knowledge, I never did anything without speaking to him.
“I’ve made a lot of money from it, but Charlie also has. He’s got a little pot to the side with his business consultant.
“Anything that I’ve ever done, I’ve had a business consultancy invoice me for half of it, and whatever they do with it is between them and Charlie.”
Bronson lost a Parole Board bid to be freed from jail earlier today, with the board saying it was “not satisfied” that he was “suitable for release”.
It comes as Bamby made an appearance on GB News earlier today, where he claimed an incoming change will put his father in a “positive light”.
Bamby told Mark Longhurst that Bronson would be “devastated” by the decision, but he respects the decision they came to.

He said: I completely and utterly respect the decision that they’ve [the parole board] come to. You know, that's the world that we live in. You know, these people are experts and they're the ones ultimately that make the decisions.
“I wanted him to be released, there’s something coming out in the next 24 hours or so that's going to shed a whole new light on this whole saga.
“The Parole board decision as far as I'm concerned is the parole board decision and that's why we have a legal process and we've got to respect what was said.
“There'll be something that will be coming out in the media within the next 24 hours that will shine a whole new complete outlook on the whole situation with Charles Bronson.
"I think it will be in a positive light for him. And I think it'll also be in a positive light for myself as well."
Bamby has rose to made multiple media appearances through the years claiming to be Bronson’s son, commenting on issues to do with the notorious prisoner.
This includes Bronson’s attempts to free himself from jail, with multiple Parole Board hearings proving unsuccessful.
