The man is believed to have gained access to Mr Key's private residence at Premier House in Wellington, where the Prime Minister had invited 50 guests.

The local DJ is understood to have spent several minutes on the loose as a stunt. Sources said he was carrying his own sausages and bread in an apparent attempt to pose as catering staff once inside the grounds.

A spokesman for Wellington police said: "A radio employee jumped over the fence into the grounds of Premier House. He was apprehended by police and removed."

Prince William, who is on his first foreign tour representing the Queen, had not arrived at the event when the man was detained by police.
