Joe Lycett has unleashed a shockingly foul-mouthed tirade upon Prime Minister Rishi Sunak over a cage fight question.

During an interview, the comedian seemed to go on a random rant about his thoughts on the Prime Minister and how they would fare in a fight. He seemed confident in his chances if the unlikely pair were ever to go head to head.

Joe said he is a "scratcher" and that he would be "brutal" in a cage fight. In a random interview question, the 35-year-old was asked who he think would do better in a cage fight - him or Rishi Sunak.

In the latest episode of Honesty Box by LADbible, Joe was asked: "Who would win in a cage fight, you or Rishi?" He then confidently replied: "Obviously me. Can you imagine Rishi in a cage fight? I am a scratcher. I'm brutal in the cage environment. And Rishi is a little f**king p***y.

"Compared to a lot of countries, I think we do allow free speech. The fact that I just said Rishi Sunak's a p***y is... allows me to say that, yeah, we have free speech. Anything I'd go to jail for? Let's try that. Let's see if I can be jailed for something."

The interview comes as Joe recently admitted he was the brains behind multiple fake news stories over the last month. He claimed that he had been behind a number of fake news stories that have been reported across mainstream media over the past few weeks. In a video clip posted to social media, in front of an upside down globe, Joe penned in the caption: "FAKE NEWS!

"Can you spot the stories I’ve been seeding in the press? Multiple silly stories have been in the news over the last month, and they were all coordinated by me. Send them my way, with the hashtag #IsThisJoe? I’ll reveal all on Late Night Lycett, back next Friday, 10pm, @channel4."

The comedian added in the video: "I've got a game for you to play, the world's been turned upside down by fake news and I hate it! Unless, I'm the one faking it... for the last month, me and my team have been planting stupid, silly, fake news stories, about things that never actually happened in the hope that they would take up space that more hateful or polarising fake news might otherwise have used."

Joe revealed the stories in an episode of the new series of Late Night Lycett which included being behind a recent news story where someone had a bruise on their leg in the shape of "Prince Harry's face". His team also made up a fake study where men from Birmingham apparently have the biggest manhoods in the UK. Joe quipped: "Sounds like fact but only they don't, it's complete bulls**t from us!"

Joe then claimed that another story planted by him and his team was a recent new street painting, which many thought was Banksy with the latter even forced to deny they were behind the mural. However, the piece of art was in fact entirely "made up" by Joe and his team.
