Simon Bird has revealed he has a rude nickname - briefcase wanker.

The actor's character in The Inbetweeners is often teased with the cruel jibe in the show and now fans have picked up on it. 

'"Briefcase wanker" and "briefcase mong" have kind of stuck, so I get that shouted at me in the streets, which is nice,' he tells Now.

But Simon, 25, says there are some benefits to being on TV.

'I do get approached by fans and there are times where you might be asked to sign the odd breast,' he adds. 'It's been good for my reputation.'
