Passengers travelling through London's Gatwick Airport this week have been treated to a welcome song by the hooded performer, who serenaded them through the arrival gate on his bright pink grand piano.
Merton gained recognition on chat room site, ChatRoulette.com, which allows people to connect at random with other users via videocam.
The comic pianist was approached to play at Gatwick by T-Mobile, the mobile phone provider behind the series of flash-mob ad campaigns launched throughout London.
Despite his new found popularity, Merton says he plans to keep his true identity under wraps and that if his celebrity ever becomes bigger than his act, the gig is up.
