Harry Hill risks fiiiiiight with former agent after You've Been Framed dig

Did Monkey hear Harry Hill right on Saturday’s You’ve Been Framed?

Your simian digger was chuckling along to the ITV teatime staple – which has been revolutionised by the large-collared comedian’s arch voiceover – when he could have sworn he heard a dig at his former agent.

Roughly halfway through, over a clip of an ugly looking bulldog making a horrible noise, Hill – in full almost-audible-arched-eyebrow mode – said: “He sounds like my old agent when I told him I was giving him the boot. Oh hang on: it is my old agent!”

Could that be Avalon’s Jon Thoday, with whom Hill split – reportedly due to “creative differences” – in 2011? Perish the thought. Saturday’s show was a repeat, so the jibe may have been made when the “differences” were more recent.
