About Neil Horan

  • Cornelius "Neil" Horan, sometimes referred to as The Grand Prix Priest or The Dancing Priest (born 22 April 1947), is a laicised Irish Roman Catholic priest who is noted for his interference with the running of the 2003 British Grand Prix and the 2004 Summer Olympics men's marathon in order to promote his religious belief that the end of the world is near. In 2004 he was found not guilty of indecent assault against a seven-year-old girl.
  • Though he did admit that he was naked while the girl tickled him and while they played hide-and-seek, during the court case he also claimed to own only one pair of tight-fitting green satin underpants that have never been washed as he needs them to 'always be ready for use', at one point Horan produced the pants from his pocket to show the jury.He went on to appear on Britain's Got Talent in May 2009.
  • He danced a soft jig on the show, received a standing ovation by the audience and was put through to the next round.
  • He did not make the live semi-finals. In 2017 he showed his support outside court for disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris.
