'Reckless' YouTuber Ally Law banned from theme parks after Thorpe Park rollercoaster stunt

A "reckless" YouTuber who trespassed into the Big Brother House and Thorpe Park where he climbed a rollercoaster has been banned from TV studios and theme parks across much of the UK.

Ally Law, of Southampton, scaled the 62.5m-high Stealth ride in July last year for his vlogging channel. In January this year, he unlawfully entered the Big Brother House with a friend.

Law's YouTube channel has more than two million subscribers and also features videos entitled "Sneaking Into West Ham Stadium" and "Sneaking Into Butlins Holiday Resort".

The "about" section reads: "Just sharing my best attempt at life with you all, Enjoy."

The 21-year-old has now been given an interim criminal behaviour order, which applies across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The order bans him from entering any film or TV studio, areas with a bridge or building not open to the public, any commercial property outside business hours, and any property owned by Merlin Entertainments.

Insp Nick Pinkerton, from Surrey Police, which took more than a year to get the order, said: "Ally Law has offended all over the country and we used evidence from all over in our application, because we know that he has been causing numerous police forces issues for some time."

He criticised Law for "behaving so recklessly" and said he hoped the order would stop him "wasting valuable police resources in the future".

Any breach of the conditions could see Law face punishment of up to five years in jail.

A full criminal behavioural order hearing is due to be held at St Albans Magistrates' Court in March next year.
