But the social media stunt went awry, local media reported, with the man falling to his death.

Local councillor Macarena Munoz confirmed the tragedy today and said climbing the bridge was “totally banned”.

She said: “We have made it clear on several occasions that it’s not something that can be done in any circumstances.”

The bridge stands over the Tagus River, 90 minutes southwest of Madrid.

The infleuncer is said to have been with an unnamed 24-year-old British man when he plunged to his death.

Footage from the scene of the tragedy showed police cordoning off the area near to where he fell.

The tragedy happened around 7.15am this morning.

National Police as well as local town-hall employed firefighters rushed to the scene with paramedics but there was nothing they could to save the Brit.
