A TV star has released an online video featuring a helicopter that belonged to an Island-based billionaire.

Dave Fishwick, star of Bank of Dave, released a video on Facebook about a twin-engined Sikorsky chopper owned by Trevor Hemmings.

The helicopter, worth more than £15 million, has a luxury soundproofed interior with a minibar and coffee machine - and still has its Manx registration.

Lancashire-based Mr Fishwick says he's been given the keys and will release a second video of him flying the machine.
