Looks like Sir Philip Green ‘visits’ BHS store and leaves with bag of cash… but actually he’s on his £100million yacht
Comes as ex-minister says he should 'put his money where his mouth is' and fix chain’s £500m pension fund hole
SHAMED tycoon Sir Philip Green was pictured supposedly leaving a branch of BHS with a bag full of cash after vandals defaced a branch of the defunct chain.
A fake poster of the billionaire was slapped on the side of a now-closed branch of the high street stores in Swansea today.
Alongside the black and white image of the fat cat boss, who sold BHS for a £1 a year before it collapsed, it says: "Thank you for your custom Sir."
In fact, the fat cat was sunning himself on his £100million yacht in Monaco.
The tycoon, 64, had huge sweat patches on his top as his aide lugged a bag belonging to SGP - possibly Sweaty Phillip Green.
It comes as a former business minister has demanded he “put his money where his mouth is” and fix the huge £500 million hole in its pension fund.
Anna Soubry joined 53 other MPs in demanding a House of Commons debate on the actions of Sir Philip surrounding the iconic shop's demise
MPs led by Labour’s Frank Field and Iain Wright want a three-hour debate on the floor of the Commons next month in a move that threatens to pile fresh humiliation for the stores billionaire.
Ms Soubry told the Sun a Commons debate would keep the pressure on Sir Philip, who sold BHS for £1 last year, 12 months before it collapsed, costing 11,000 staff their job.
He vowed to “sort” the pensions problem in June.
Ms Soubry stormed: “Sir Philip Green said he would do the right thing by the staff we want to make sure the pressure is kept on and that he is true to his word.
"I don’t have a problem with people going on holiday. He just needs to prove he is as good as his word and puts his money where his mouth is.

“You’d think even on a boat he is the sort of person who can afford the mobile and internet connections to keep in touch with people and make the calls.”
The request for a Commons debate is being considered by a backbench committee later today.
Sir Philip was snapped earlier this week trying hide from the media in Monaco on the latest leg of a summer holiday on his £100million super yacht.
He has insisted he is “working every day” to clear up the pension mess.
Aides insist he has been co-operating with the pensions regulator for 18 months and “providing whatever has been requested on a very regular basis”.
