Clearly unimpressed, Mike replied: ‘You know what that’s fine but it wasn’t funny!’ and argued that Sophie and Leanne could have simply refused when they were asked to do it. 

He ranted: ‘It wasn’t actually funny first of all, second of all. I found out through the public like.

‘Someone sent it to me like, “Have you seen this?”, and I just saw bare comments, of people ripping into me.

‘I saw the video and I was like, “Woah what the hell!?” and for me – we went to the same place – and they also asked me to do a similar video and I just said no.

‘So for me, it’s one of them ones where you can never be forced to do anything, if you don’t want to do something, say “no”.’ 

Sophie hit back, insisting: ‘I wanted to do it. It was a bit of banter.’

Chipping into the argument Priscilla Anyabu backed her boyfriend Mike, saying: ‘It was a bit untasteful, I think that’s what it is. When you lot say funny, that wasn’t really funny.’
