Dame Vivienne Westwoods fashion designer son, Ben, has already enlisted Julian Assange to model his latest collection at the Ecuadorian Embassy next month as part of London Fashion Week.

Now Ben is offering to break the deadlock in Assanges ongoing extradition saga.

The founder of WikiLeaks has been holed up in the Knightsbridge embassy for two years to avoid extradition to Sweden on sex assault charges.

The Australian refuses to go because he fears he may end up being sent to America where he could face charges of espionage.

Westwood says he will foot the bill for the Swedish prosecutor to fly over to London and interview Assange in his bolthole.

The Scandinavian airline website has return tickets from Stockholm at 68 each way, he says. Im more than happy paying 136 for a return flight for the Swedish prosecutor to come to London.
