A CONTROVERSIAL TikToker and YouTuber has rowed with staff at Hartlebury Castle as he flew his drone over the estate in a new video.
Curtis Arnold made headlines for his videos on the disappearance of Nicola Bulley, sharing a clip of the moment her body was found.
Now, in a new video, he has visited the historic castle where he and staff members disagreed over whether he is free to fly his drone above the grounds.
On his DJE Media channel, previously named Curtis Media, he films staff members as he tells them he will be flying his drone over the museum.
However, staff tell him he cannot film at the site without permission. Mr Arnold maintains that staff are "misinformed" about drone laws and filming private property.
Mr Arnold speaks with staff, filming the interaction using a Go-Pro.
The video, entitled 'A Bank Transfer a Quantity of Money Will Allow the DRONE,' now has more than 54,000 views.
In the video, a member of staff tells Mr Arnold: "If the drone is for commercial footage and we see any form of money being made off it then we would ask for some of it."
Mr Arnold, who told staff his name is Dan, replied: "I will make money from the video, not a lot, maybe 500, 600?"
He said: "Moving forward I don't want to agree anything commercial because I never do that."
In response, the staff member says: "In that case, we can't agree to the filming on site.
She said: "If you're not prepared to agree to a commercial agreement, then we can't allow for the filming on site right now."
Despite the row, Mr Arnold, a former barber who previously lived in Kidderminster, shared the drone footage of Hartlebury Castle in his YouTube video.
At the end of the video, Mr Arnold said: "Please come to visit though, it's a lovely place, lovely staff."
Hartlebury Castle has declined to comment on the video.
Mr Arnold was previously featured in the new BBC Documentary - The Search For Nicola Bulley - which aired last week.
