TV star Les Dennis denies being behind bizarre graffiti appearing across buildings in Norwich
The strange tags popping up throughout the city have been affectionately called 'SurreaLesm'
BIZARRE tributes to presenter Les Dennis have been popping up across Norwich - but the TV star insists "it wasn't him".
Whoever is behind the mystery tags has kept things simple by just writing the words "Les Dennis" in brightly coloured spray paint on various buildings throughout the city.
Making this even more strange is that Liverpool-born Les has very little ties to Norwich, but he did previous have a holiday home on the north Norfolk coast.
Spotting the graffiti, that has been described as 'minimalist', Rob Setchell who works for ITV Anglia wrote: "Norwich appears to be the canvas for bizarre graffiti tributes to Les Dennis.
"Several locations given the Les treatment.
"Has anyone spotted one?
"Does anyone know who is behind the 'SurreaLesm' movement?"
Les himself replied to the tweet to simply deny any involvement in the artistic crime, he wrote: "it wasn't me" and retweeted.
They have been spotted on bridges, the side of buildings and on signposts and the style is consistently plain.
One of his followers on Twitter joked: "You know you've made it when you're famous in Norwich!"

Another said: "Bansky is a big fan I've heard."
The Les Dennis tagging began last year but were only acknowledged by the presenter a few days ago.
Although the graffiti on St Benedicts Street has since disappeared, he still has his name sprayed in bright yellow on the side of a building in Fishergate.
