Talking to The Sun about the incident, Mason said: “There were loads of comments. I had a few people say that I made their night and I had some people say there’s a special place in hell for me, but I kind of knew that already”.

“I got told to kill myself by 12 year old girls”.

Mason also said that he didn’t expect to people to react in that way and it was meant to be a “funny thing”.

“I didn’t expect it. Just like you would banter your lads in the pub, it was a funny thing” he continued.
