Will your town be next? Mystery businessman, 25, sparks mass treasure hunt by stashing £50 envelopes across Britain in Hidden Cash Twitter craze

  • Viral 'social experiment' began in U.S. and has spread around the world

Hiding cash in a brown envelope was once the preserve of spies, but a lot has changed in the age of Twitter.
A mystery businessman has sparked a frenzied treasure hunt by stashing £50 wads in cities across Britain - and revealing their locations on the social networking site.
In less than a week, the 25-year-old's 'anonymous social experiment' has gained more than 40,000 followers, many of whom are eagerly awaiting the next drop.

The mystery benefactor told the Daily Telegraph he may make a special delivery tomorrow to London - but with the package containing up to £200, the hunt could turn into a frenzied scramble.
'I have had a few businesses in e-commerce that have done really well for me,' he said. 'It got to a point where there is only so much stuff that money can buy... I get more of a kick out of that than I would spending £50 on myself.
    'I have to travel abroad but I’ve called on a group of people to keep it going for me. It will be a little more infrequent but I don’t have any plans to stop.
    'There isn’t a limit on how much I’m going to give away. As long as there’s interest in it, I’ll keep doing it.'
    He added that he was confident George Groves would win tonight's boxing match against Carl Froch, but would hide £200 in the capital if he lost.

    The craze began in the U.S. and sparked frenzied scenes in Los Angeles on Thursday night as hundreds of people scoured garden beds and bus stops and caused traffic chaos.
    It has spread across the world, with accounts springing up in Nigeria, India, Hong Kong and the Netherlands.
    The first envelope in Britain was stashed outside the city museum in Leeds on Wednesday and was found less than an hour later by electrician Harry McKeown.
    Then came Manchester on Thursday, Sheffield on Friday and a beachside spot in Brighton today.
    With the media getting in on the act, a local news crew even captured the moment the Brighton envelope was found inside an old boat.
    Twitter user @Cpt_Volvox - calling herself Morris Minor - said she had been bored and flicking through Facebook on her phone when she realised the envelope was just around the corner.
    #payitforward: Today's drop of cash was in Brighton, West Sussex - and London could follow tomorrow

    Those who find the money are asked to Tweet a photo of their haul back to the account @HiddenCash_UK with the hashtag #payitforward.
    Some have already donated their stashes to charity.
    The Sheffield haul was shared between The Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, Devon, and the Sheffield Rape Crisis counselling service.
    The U.S. founder of the craze, who has amassed some 400,000 Twitter followers, had to issue a safety notice amid fears the scramble was getting out of hand.
    'Please walk and drive safely. A young woman ran right in front of my car a few days ago. I will do my best to pick locations that are safe, but please use common sense and caution,' the donor wrote.
    Inundated: Hundreds of people swarmed the area around the Empire Center in Burbank, Los Angeles on Thursday night in search of hidden money, after a mystery benefactor dropped some location clues on Twitter

    'Please also be respectful to the locations themselves and surrounding businesses. And be kind and happy with each other, as that's what this is all about.'
    But the unknown donor also tweeted that he or she 'had no plans to stop' and wanted to 'keep getting bigger and better'.
    The donor added: 'The bigger idea is just to give back, both financially and a sense of fun to the community that has made me wealthy.'

    Georgia May Foote 'rushed to hospital after collapsing on Coronation Street set'

    'She's not the kind of person who likes to make a fuss': Georgia May Foote 'rushed to hospital after collapsing on Coronation Street set'

    Georgia May Foote was waiting to film an upcoming scene for Coronation Street when she reportedly collapsed on Friday.
    The 23-year-old - who plays Katy Armstrong in the ITV soap - was rushed to hospital by ambulance after her costars on set at Salford's Media City raised the alarm, the Daily Star has said.
    Paramedics are thought to have spent 30 minutes with the actress before taking her to the nearby Hope Hospital as a 'precaution'.

    An ITV insider told the newspaper: 'Everyone was really worried about Georgia. She’s not the kind of person who likes to make a fuss and will always get on with her work even if she’s under the weather.
    'Corrie is like a family so naturally people are concerned. Hopefully after a rest over the weekend she will be back to her normal self next week', they added.
    The former Grange Hill star, who has played single mum Katy for four years, was thought to have been taken home to recover later that same day.

    MailOnline has contacted a spokesman for the star following these reports.
    She had taken to Twitter just hours before the incident, posting a photo of a tempting, sweet treat.
    Georgia commented: 'So I come in our dressing room and find this little chocolaty number on Brooke's dressing table? Breakfast?', making reference to her costar Brooke Vincent.
    The star's funny turn comes just two week after it was announced her character would be axed from the show.

    She said at the time: 'I was a bit gutted that leaving Corrie wasn’t my decision – it’s like a boyfriend dumping you first - but I’m really excited.
    'If anything, it’s given me that kick I needed to move on to other things', the Daily Mirror reported.
    Georgia, whose character reportedly won't be killed off, also said her exit at the end of the year would be 'a very emotional time'.

    Miss Rowbotham, 24, was sent through to the show’s finals on Thursday night.
      Although Simon Cowell said her performance was not her best, fans praised her bombshell looks on Twitter and voted for her in droves. 
      Speaking to the Daily Mail just before going on stage, she claimed she had toned down her appearance by leaving out her hair extensions and wearing minimal make-up.

      ‘I want to look really natural,’ she said. ‘I want people to like me for who I am rather than for how glamorous I am. It is what is inside that counts. My looks aren’t important to me. 
      'I feel like people should like my music whether I’m covered in a big brown paper bag or am wearing a skimpy outfit.’
      She added: ‘I’m pleased people have been introduced to me while I’m a voluptuous, wholesome, curvy girl. 
      She gets the thumbs up: Lettice said: 'I feel like people should like my music whether I'm covered in a big brown paper bag or am wearing a skimpy outfit'

      'I really believe you don’t have to be as skinny as a rake to feel good and feel sexy.’
      The Royal College of Music graduate has previously performed for Russian premier Vladimir Putin and Prince Charles.
      But she admitted she was embarrassed when modelling shots of her posing half-naked emerged online, saying she only agreed to them as a favour for a friend.
      It's a YES from them: The judges have been blown over by Lettice's charms

        Kelly Brook shows off her ample cleavage in a series of busty selfies

        Another day at the office: Kelly Brook shows off her ample cleavage in ANOTHER series of busty selfies  

        She has designed a successful underwear and bikini range for high street store New Look. 
        So it would seem that actress, model and presenter Kelly Brook feels most at home posing in her underwear. 
        In her latest selection of lingerie clad selfies the 34-year-old model shared three sultry shots on Wednesday which showed plenty of ample cleavage, all from what seemed to be a chest-baring photo shoot.

        Captioning the image of her in fire engine red briefs and balconette bra with 'Another day at the Office' the curvacious brunette seemed aware that posing in her underwear is what she has become well known for. 
        In another shot the Piranha 3D star throws a sultry look at the camera through tousled hair which is pulled back off her face, wearing a black bustier with the straps suggestively slung over her shoulders. 
        In the second shot the underwear designer can be seen taking a selfie in the mirror in a plunging lace dress with celebrity and fashion stylist Sascha Lilic teasing her hair into the perfect position.

        This is the latest slew of revealing images that the actress and underwear model has treated her fans to on her Instagram page, posting two on Tuesday comparing her sizable bust from 1999 to the present day.
        There was one remarkable difference between the two snapshots of time - and that's her body shape.

        The first showed her in a busty strapless dress as she photographed herself with a Chanel-protected phone, earlier this month.
        Clearly, the star was looking buxom in her provocative choice of clothing - and enjoyed it.
        But in two 1999 pictures that followed, the Essex girl was considerably less curvaceous. Although she wore a zip-up red, leather bodysuit - which was half-open - she appeared somewhat smaller.

        A later picture was uploaded of her wearing a black and gold dress complete with a plunging neckline,saw the brunette beauty sport a very curvy body.
        Clearly, her shape has changed over the years as she has aged and changed body mass.
        But, regardless, she obviously looked stunning in the collection, which was anchored with a shot of her and fiance David McIntosh.

        'Kelly is one lucky lady,' they tweeted.

        Eliza Doolittle shows off lithe physique in tropical bikini while frolicking in the ocean

        I'm in Miami! Eliza Doolittle shows off lithe physique in tropical bikini while frolicking in the ocean

        Eliza Doolittle confessed in a promotional video for Malibu Rum that she loves not having to wear a lot of clothing.
        And with her statuesque figure, it's little wonder why the singer would not want to cover it up.
        The 26-year-old - who is currently in Miami to write new music - took a break from songwriting to enjoy an ocean dip in a tropical-themed bikini on Tuesday.

        Eliza - who has recently confirmed she's dating property entrepreneur Nick Leslau's son, Jake - appeared to be alone, and certainly must have caught the attention of passerby as she cooled off in the water.
        The Pack hitmaker strutted onto the shoreline and showed off her pert derriere in a tropical bikini that tied around her hips.
        The singer wore her long curly hair down, and protected her gaze with two sets of sunglasses: a pair of aviators, and large black shades.

        The singer wore an application of light pink polish upon her fingernails, and wore a golden necklace with an eye pendant. 
        She later dipped into the water without her sunglasses, and brushed aside a piece of her curly hair out of her face. 
        Her beach day wasn't the only fun the singer had that day, as Eliza later took to Instagram to show off her toned midsection.

        On top of Eliza's beach days, it appears the singer has been making the most of her time in Miami, as she recently spoke about what fuels her in her creative process. 
        '[I've been] writing lots and lots, at home and on trips, like Miami now,' Eliza revealed to Contactmusic

        'I'm inspired all the time by interesting people, conversations, films, books, and sometimes just my own heart and guts. I'm always writing things down in my notepad or in my phone.'
        On top of songwriting duties, the singer has opened up about her new romantic relationship with Jake.
        The singer remarked to The Sun On Sunday: 'He's my lover. He's my lover!'
        'It's a summer fling that will hopefully last for a long time and make the winter tine as well.'
