An illegal immigrant who taunted Britons on TikTok from a taxpayer-funded hotel room had fled Germany for the UK.

It was revealed on Tuesday the man had garnered a million views by bragging about crossing the Channel on a dinghy.

He said "tell your friends to come", according to The Sun.

The man posted a step-by-step guide on how to reach Britain before hosting a question and answer in Pashto - an Afghan dialect.

It has been reported that he switched life in Europe, seen in both Germany and France, two countries considered to be safe, to come to "soft-touch" Britain.

He was said to be on one of the 434 boat arrivals on Saturday.

The man was reportedly taken to a hotel near Heathrow where he shared eight clips which encouraged other people to make the same journey.

Months before making the trip to the UK, the man warned Afghan asylum seekers that they could be kicked out of Germany.

After his videos came to light, his TikTok, under the handle Alexandra420, has been taken down for promoting people-smuggling.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, who was today in Calais seeing the illegal immigrant camps for himself, slammed the man.

"This illegal immigrant had multiple opportunities to claim asylum in other European countries before choosing to come here," he said.

The man arrived on a small boat and posted various videos to TikTok

"The Home Office and police should be urgently investigating this man for encouraging others to enter the UK illegally and producing a step-by-step guide showing them how to cross."

Philp said "enough is enough", declaring that "facilitating illegal immigration was a criminal offence".

The Shadow Home Secretary added that "those crossing illegally by small boat "must be removed either to their home country or a safe third country".

"The Labour Government need to get a grip of this crisis," he said.

Philp said the Rwanda deportation scheme should be reinstated.

It was proposed by the Conservative party under Boris Johnson and then dropped by Keir Starmer on the first day Labour came into Government.

And, more than 50,000 people have crossed the Channel by small boat since the party took lead of the UK.

Ever since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, deportations to the country have been on pause.

Therefore, the TikToker could have known that once making a successful journey to the UK, he was more than likely able to avoid deportation.

It is understood by The Sun that he stayed in Germany for a long period of time.

However, he decided to enter the UK to seek better benefits after posting about plans by far-right Alternative for Deutschland to deport all illegal migrants.

If that was successful during February's election, it would have marked the mass return of asylum seekers.

Once the man arrived in the UK, he changed his TikTok bio to include a British flag.

He hosted a 45-minute Q&A session which was livestreamed on the social media platform on Tuesday where he told his 70,000 followers that he "finally" left Germany.

"Then they moved me into France," he said.

In answering questions, he said: "What should I do in a country that rejects me?"

"I didn't get acceptance, I got nothing. I'm crazy to live there?"

He added that there was "Nothing there. Only here (in the UK)".
