A homeless man who helped victims of the recent Manchester Terror attack is having his accommodation paid by the family of the West Ham owners.

Steve Jones – who was famously interviewed stating he had pulled ‘nails from children’s faces’ after the horrific events at the Manchester Arena last month – had been living on the streets, but is now being put up in a hotel by the Sullivan family who vowed to help him after his heroic actions.

Recent photographs of Jones appeared to show that the unlikely hero was still sleeping rough, however Dave Sullivan Jr., son of Hammers joint chairman David Sullivan, quickly took to twitter to ratify the claims.

Sullivan then went on to make a phone-call with Jones which he later uploaded to Twitter in order to prove that accommodation is indeed available for him.

During the call, Steve said: ‘I’m coming from the hotel. I’m carrying my bag with me with all my belongings. I’m going to look homeless, do you understand what I mean?

‘These people have got to realise things don’t happen overnight.’

Suicide bomber Salman Abedi killed 22 innocent people when he triggered the blast after an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena.
